Is it Worth Buying Asus ROG Phone 3?
Absolutely, ROG Phone 3 is worth buying at Rs 50,000. It’s not overpriced smartphone yet I would say, buy this phone only if you want a gaming smartphone because it doesn’t have a good camera setup.
Overall. ROG Phone 3 is not for everyone because at 55k you’re getting OnePlus 8 Pro, so there is no point to buy ROG Phone 3 but if you want gaming phone then ROG 3 is a better option then OnePlus 8 Pro.
That was my quick answer but if you want to know more then let’s go deep down…
Performance
The ROG Phone 3 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus which is a very powerful processor. So whether you play games or do anything, this phone will give you the best performance. The phone is running on ROG UI based on Android 10 which close to stock but Asus has added some extra features.
One of the best things about this phone is the display, I mean, the phone has a 144Hz display which huge for smartphones. I know, there are no games that support 144Hz screen refresh rate. So I don’t know, how this will help in the gaming but hey, it’s good to have this kind of feature in a smartphone.
Cameras
Let me give you a straight answer, ROG Phone 3 doesn’t have a good camera setup. So if you want overall best smartphone then this is not for you but if you want a phone for gaming this is the only best option available as of now.
Battery Life
Let me be clear, ROG Phone 3 has the best battery life, the battery will last for two days but keep in mind, it will depend on your daily use. The phone has a 6,000 mAh non-removable battery with 30W fast charging support which is huge, so there is no complaint about battery life.
Audio Quality
As I have said, this is a gaming smartphone, so you got the answer right but if not then let me tell you,
The phone has two speakers, one is on the bottom side and the second is on the top side. For your knowledge, ROG Phone 3 is the best speaker. Let’s leave it there…

Conclusion
I don’t recommend ROG Phone 3 to everyone because it’s not built for everyone. This is a gaming smartphone and it’s for gamers, so if you want to experience the best gaming and if you can invest 50k in smartphone just for gaming then this is the best option for you.
Now, do let me know what you think about the ROG Phone 3 price because I have seen some comment that said, ROG Phone is overpriced? I would love to hear, what you think about this…
Do u think thst rog 3 gets lagging after 1 or 2 years if gameplay??? I mean apart from i phone xr? Spending 50 k is big deal for me and i have alredy booked thix fone and i will be getting it on sept 11, now i have a double mind on thx, pls reply
Don't worry ROG Phone 3 will last for 3 years because it has Snapdragon 865+. Also, it depends on how much you use the phone every day, for example, if you play games for 6 to 8 hours every day then the phone won't last long, even if it's iPhone. Still, if you want a phone for 4 or 5 years then always go with the iPhone because, after two years, Android Phone won't receive updates.
