ROG Phone 3 Confirmed to Arrive in July 2020

Asus ROG Phone 3 has been known to be coming for quite some time now. This next-gen gaming phone was recently spotted on TENAA, revealing all of its specifications. And today, Asus officially confirmed that the ROG Phone 3 will launch in July (next month) in China. We don’t have an exact launch date just yet but the anticipation for the ROG Phone 2 successor runs high.

The Taiwanese giant took to Weibo to share the official teaser for the ROG Phone 3 launch. Asus is once again joining hands with Tencent Games to bring its feature-rich gaming phone to the masses. The device will also come with additional optimizations and Tencent apps pre-loaded out-of-the-box.

The announcement does not give away anything about the ROG Phone 3, which will most likely go up against the first-ever Legion gaming phone. Lenovo has also scheduled its gaming phone launch for July with no exact launch date in sight just yet.

The ROG Phone 3 made an appearance in a hands-on video earlier this week, complete with a triple camera setup on the rear. The front of the device looked pretty much like its predecessor. Asus won’t nix the bezels, which provides grip and includes the front-facing stereo speakers.

The triple rear camera will be helmed by a 64MP sensor and you will find a 13MP selfie snapper onboard. Asus ROG Phone 3 will also include the 6,000mAh battery that made its predecessor a definite pick for heavy gamers.
