The ROG Phone 3 will be a very powerful smartphone with an overclocked Snapdragon 865, 16GB LPDDR5 RAM, and a whopping 6,000mAh battery.

Recently, details about next-generation ROG Phone 3 gaming phone has been revealed by a listing on TENAA database. The listing reveals that the upcoming ROG Phone 3 will own a massive configuration with an overclocked Snapdragon 865 chip, massively-beefy battery as well as RAM up to 16GB.

In terms of design, with some images uploaded on TENAA, we can see that phone will still have the same design language as its predecessor ROG Phone II. The handset will still feature a notch-free screen instead of going for the punch-hole style that many phone makers have been using.

X-Mode is likely to be integrated allowing users to customize CPU and GPU performance to optimize the graphics processing capabilities of the phone.
