What we don't like about Asus ROG Phone 3 Strix Edition (8GB + 256GB)

  • Significant 'black crush' issues where dark display areas appear pixelated or grainy at low brightness
  • Mediocre camera performance compared to mainstream flagships, particularly in low light
  • Heavy and bulky design that can be tiring to hold during extended non-gaming use
  • Lack of standard flagship features such as wireless charging and an IP water/dust resistance rating
  • No built-in 3.5mm headphone jack, requiring an external dongle or the fan accessory
  • Inconsistent in-display fingerprint sensor that some users find slow or unreliable
  • Device can become uncomfortably warm during intensive, prolonged gaming sessions

Verdict

The Asus ROG Phone 3 Strix Edition is a performance-focused gaming smartphone powered by the high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Its standout feature is the 6.59-inch AMOLED display with an ultra-smooth 144Hz refresh rate, complemented by unique gaming enhancements like ultrasonic AirTriggers and a massive 6,000mAh battery for extended play. While it delivers top-tier performance and exceptional battery life, potential drawbacks include its bulky and heavy design, lack of an IP water resistance rating, and the omission of a 3.5mm headphone jack.
