ROG3 144Hz Gaming Review

Strong real performance is not only the score parameters, "real battle" to test the good and bad of a cell phone.

In which game do you use the smoother refresh speed of 144 Hz? Sports competitions are certainly one of them. Currently, Ace Combat and One Piece have both supported high 144 Hz frame rates, and QQ Speed, Sports Car, and Cross Fire have all reportedly been tested, so I'm sure more will come to experience it in the near future.
Ace Combatant opens the system settings, the screen quality and frame rate settings are super high, i.e., the 144 Hz high frame rate mode is turned on. In addition, on the game interface, the sliding point on the left side of the screen will automatically switch to the game wizard, click to open the instant information, the floating window of the game screen will automatically display the FPS value and other information.

Even in driving, open the sights and other scenes, there is no lag phenomenon.

It is worth noting that the ROG Gaming Phone 3 inherits the acclaimed "shoulder key" design of its predecessor, which further enhances the gaming experience. On the left side of the gaming interface, the "Gaming Wizard" - "Airtriggers" icon slides inward, with higher speed touch feedback, through the optimization of the hardware structure, so that the vibration motor generates feedback, bringing a more realistic feeling of touching the buttons, and adding a gesture mapping function, bringing players a new operation. Gesture mapping function has been added to bring players a brand new operating experience.

Turn on the Airtriggers 2×2 Shoulder Strap Button, which is used to drag and drop a red and blue circle to cover different skills on the screen. The one-sided double button supports four mapped points, and in addition to tapping, it also supports quick swipes in different directions and other activations. Additionally, Airtriggers supports gesture mapping of game keys, "jiggling" to map the fifth contact to the screen, unleashing even more powerful gaming maneuvers.

Users can select the corresponding key corresponding to the blue circle, the right shoulder key corresponding to the red circle, and the somatosensory operation key corresponding to the yellow circle. Select the corresponding gesture and drag the red, blue and yellow circles in the picture to use different skills, and the keys can be set freely. And you can save multiple sets of shoulder key settings in the game to adapt to different scenes, different heroes, etc., more flexible.

Take the "Peaceful Elite" for example, with the left - side double key - corresponding to the shooting lens shooting, the right - fast glide - different directions corresponding to jumping and crouching, somatosensory operation control - shaking - yellow circle for bullets. Although there will be learning costs to get started, but when you get used to it, chicken is so simple.

In addition to the design of the game, the speed is also extremely demanding on the frame rate. Competitive speed confrontation is an important feature of QQ Speed Racer Hand Game, that is, players have strict requirements for cell phones, such as the ability to follow the hand, sensitivity and responsiveness. And ROG gaming phone 3 can also very well meet the needs of this part of the user, with the 144 Hz top tournament-level gaming screen, at the same time has the 270 highest touch sampling rate, for ordinary players, the arbitrary screen control feeling, can greatly enhance the actual game experience; for the "QQ Speed Racing Handball Game" of "professional For the "professional" players of QQ Speed Racing Hand Game, the extremely high sensitivity and high followability allow them to enjoy the speed and passion to their heart's content.

The premier 270 touch screen sampling rate can give you an upgraded experience like never before in many small details, the feel when drifting, every brake, every sharp corner, you can clearly feel the body movement smoother.

High-performance cell phone in the gaming scene this high-pressure, the heating problem has always been the user's pain point, affecting the sense of grip not to mention the serious headache of degradation. In order to solve this problem, ROG gaming phone 3 continued the previous generation of thermal design and improvement, the new matrix liquid cooling cooling structure using a three-layer design, there is a large piece of graphene near the screen, so that the heat dissipation is more uniform. Combined with the Cool Fan 3, it can achieve the best gaming effect of "never downclocking". In addition, the design of this cooling fan is very user-friendly, with Type-C and 3.5 mm headphone jacks, which solves the problem of charging and headphone cables wrapped around the hand.

In addition to optimizing the game itself, the ROG Gaming Phone 3 has a built-in Smart Control Center that allows you to set X Mode, Gaming Genie, AirTriggers 2×2 Shoulder Keys, Cooler Fan 3, System Light, and more. The modes can be switched in three levels, with the LV3 Performance Mode, which seeks to unleash the full performance of the phone's CPU/GPU, alerting to significant temperature increases and power consumption at boot-up, and must be plugged in with the Cooler Fan3 to boot up the phone.

When X mode is turned on, the logo on the back of the ROG Gaming Phone 3 will also enter the X mode light effect, supporting users to adjust the static, breathing, flash, color cycle and so on. For an immersive gaming experience, the ROG logo and other accessories can be customized to create a personalized look for the player, and the light effects can be synchronized with other ROG phones.

It is worth noting that the ROG gaming phone 3 also supports macro settings, we take the "Tianlong Baobei Handbook" as an example, when carrying out daily tasks or brushing copies of the task, open the macro command, you can open unlimited brushing copies of the task, and the use of macro commands can be turned on at the same time the rest of the screen hang-up function, will not be interrupted due to operational errors and macro functions.

The design method is very simple, open the macro function, click on the task bar set to "pathfinding", record the macro action, click on the confirmation of accepting the task action set to "automatically hand over the task", you can complete the macro recording.

Under the high pressure of gaming, battery life is always a test, the larger the battery capacity, the longer the gaming life, ROG Gaming Phone 3 is equipped with a huge 6000 mAh battery and supports 30 W direct charging, providing users with a continuous immersive gaming experience. In addition, in order to extend battery life, ROG Gaming Phone 3 also adds the "Auto Adjustment End Time" function, which automatically matches the alarm time, and can match with no-disturbance, flight mode, breathing light and other switches.

ROG3 exterior design

For a long time, people have had the impression that gaming phones are heavy in the hand and exaggerated in appearance. The ROG Gaming Phone 3 does the opposite, leaving behind the flashy design and replacing it with an elegant design that allows it to fit into everyday life better than a gaming phone ever could.

The first time you see the ROG Gaming Phone 3, you get a sense of déjà vu, but a closer look reveals a big difference. It inherits the features of its predecessor, but also improves on the details with a more technological angular design that makes it stand out in today's cell phone market. Following the size of its predecessor, it is lightweight yet as wide as possible, ensuring a larger field of view in landscape gaming.

Looking at the ROG Gaming Phone 3, some may wonder why there is no full-screen design. There are a few reasons, one is to reduce false touches, the second is to ensure the integrity of the game screen, the black spots on the perforated screen you can not see it... And there is room for larger speakers and batteries.

The reverse design can be said to be the soul of the ROG Gaming Phone 3. The large logo is located in the center of the reverse side, perfectly combined with the AURA RGB Divine Light Synchronized Lighting Effect, and coupled with the unique cooling grill design, it is extremely futuristic and technological. It is worth noting that a phone case with an Aero case does not cover the entire phone, showing the important elements of the body's appearance, and the seemingly simple design balances protection, heat dissipation, accessory compatibility and visual aesthetics.>>Buy ROG3 from the official store
