Editorial report

Asus ROG Phone 3 Strix 16 GB / 512 GB / Global / ZS661KS technical sheet

The Asus ROG Phone 3 Strix is for gaming and multimedia users willing to accept a heavy phone: at 240 g, it is heavier than most phones of its time. In return, it has a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with a 144 Hz refresh rate, among the highest rates on phones launched around then. Resolution is 1080 × 2340 pixels, with a density of 391 ppi.

Its 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage exceed what most phones of its time offer. The Snapdragon 865 and UFS 3.1 storage round out the hardware, while pressure-sensitive zones and an RGB light strip add gaming-focused controls and visual flair. Stereo speakers with DTS:X and Hi-Res Audio are also included.

The main camera uses a 1/1.73″ sensor, larger than those in most phones of its time, and the camera system overall is better than most. It records video up to 8K at 30 fps and includes a 13 MP ultrawide camera. Its 6,000 mAh battery is among the largest of its time, while 30 W charging is faster than most phones offer. Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC and dual Nano-SIM. With a NeoScore of 6.7, it suits buyers after a gaming phone with a fast display, substantial battery capacity and generous hardware, provided its weight is not a deal-breaker.
