ROG Phone 3 - Packed Full of Performance

By

So, the ROG Phone 3 was announced and, as always, it has become the best and the fastest phone on the market right now. When the first ROG Phone was announced I had all the good things to say about it. Now, with ROG Phone 3 too I have a lot of good things to say.


The ROG Phone 3



The first thing is the price. This phone starts at Rs.49,999 in India (around 670 USD) for the 8GB RAM and 128GB ROM variant. Let us talk about the specs in detail.

First up the design. Now, I know that design is not a specification and design is subjective, but hear me out. Last year the phone had a very gamer-esque aesthetic with the copper vent and a really heavy design. This year however is much more on the lighter side. I personally like this design choice. If you are a non gamer who wants to buy this phone, this looks a lot more subtle and simple compared to the previous one and in a good way.

Next up the processor. It comes with the Snapdragon 865+ processor which is an absolute beast. It is the best processor on the market and words cannot describe it. It is also 5G enabled for a bit of future-proofing. The RAM is 8GB which is also very good but if you want to go overpowered, then you absolutely can, as you have an option of upgrading up to 16GB! 

The display is a 6.59 inches AMOLED screen with a 1080p resolution and a refresh rate of, wait for it, 144Hz! For context, most people in the world still use just 60Hz refresh rate displays with their PCs. The display is HDR certified and has a peak brightness of 1000 nits. Noice!

The phone is also very good in the camera department with a 64MP main lens, 13MP ultra wide lens and a 5MP macro lens. For the selfie camera it has a 24MP lens. It supports 4K video recording at 60 or 30 FPS and 8K video recording at 30 fps. Granted it is not as good as the camera on the latest iPhones but its camera system is still one of the best. On the sound side of things it has dual stereo speakers in the front.

It has a 6000 mAh battery and supports up to 30W fast charging. Now, coming to the ports and buttons, two USB-C ports, one for charging and other for accessories , two air triggers and...... no headphone jack. I mean, how could you, ASUS. And this is the only complaint that I have from this phone. Now, I acknowledge that they include a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter in the box but it still would’ve been nice if they included the headphone jack. 

For the final verdict, I would say that ASUS has done it again. They’ve created a beast, again. And this time with very competitive pricing. The big question, Should I buy it? If you have the money, sure. Go ahead and buy it regardless if you are a gamer or not. This is the best phone in the market and we’ll have to see what the competition has to offer which can beat this beast.

LG Wing: The Most Innovative Implementation of Dual-Screens Yet

By
So, LG has officially announced its swively phone: the LG wing. It’s very unique, to say the least. It has two screens, a larger one and a smaller one. But the implementation of these screens is very different from any other dual-screen phone on the market. The screens here are stacked on top of each other and the larger screen is on top. So, how do you get to the second screen? Well, it should be pretty obvious by now that you have to swivel away the first screen to use the second. You can use both screens at the same time and it looks like a T-shape. Now, let’s get into the specs and use cases for this phone. We don’t have a price on it yet but we can discuss the specs and features without the price. Do keep in mind that I cannot make a recommendation on it yet. With all that out of the way, let’s get into it.  LG Wing: The Swively Phone First things first, it’s a 5G phone, so that’s a good thing. The processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G. It comes in two versions, one with 8GB...

Note 20 Ultra: The Best of Mobile Productivity?

By
So, Samsung’s Note 20 Ultra caught my attention. It’s a month old phone, and one that people might ignore, but I thought that it was worth talking about. It’s a nice phone, but the price seems to have driven people away. It was advertised as a phone made for enterprise, top-of-the-line users that can spend a ton of money on their phones. Today, we’ll see whether it’s worth the money that it takes to own it. The first thing is the price. This phone has a high price, starting at Rs. 1,04,999 in India and $1,099 in the US. You might think that the price is too high, but you should remember the fact that this is a phone meant for enterprise users, so they can probably afford to spend this much on a phone.  The next thing is the CPU. This phone has Samsung’s own Exynos 990 chipset everywhere except the US, where you get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+. The global CPU, Exynos 990 is Samsung’s CPU, so we can’t compare it, but it’s a very powerful chip, and it is great for productivity. The US ...
