Welcome and follow me is an AIS ROG phone 3 and today I'll go for
0:11
unboxing along with an overview of the device and well at the end a little bit of my
0:15
opinions about this phone so starting off the packaging for this phone is what I
0:21
would call a little bit on a bigger side as you can see I'm completely like my hand
0:25
this is not necessarily anything small and let's just just actually pop it open
0:34
So, you lift it up. There we go. So in here, I already did check it out
0:41
So in here we got this cooling fan, and it's also a type C, so for charging
0:48
and also comes with a headphone jack, as you can see right here
0:52
And it basically slaps on the back of your phone and just charges it while cooling it
0:58
Neat addition, considering it comes with the device in you don't actually have to purchase it separately. So really nice
1:05
Now in here, let's see if we can pop this open somehow. There we go. So in here we have a couple
1:17
parts to it. It looks like it does come. Let me move this to the little bit further back and
1:23
lay this down. So in here we do have a case. Pop it out
1:30
So it's quite interesting case. I think similar to what previous phone actually had
1:37
So I'm going to set that to decide. See if there's anything in here
1:42
So, it looks like stickers. So you do have a couple of stickers that you can slap anywhere
1:54
And then we have a literal book for this. It's just a phone. It's not a rocket. You don't need to give me a manual for it
2:07
That is basically the thickness of a Bible. So yeah, nothing else in here. Then going back to casing
2:17
Okay, that's how you left it up. So in here we do have a little bit of additional accessories
2:25
So these are little rubber fillings for this little thing. So normally the phone has, for instance, this thing plugged in where you would normally plug this in
2:38
So if you lose one you have two additional ones in a case. And I'm not exactly sure what this one is for
2:44
There is an image though. Also you could only plug like one instead of both of them
2:51
Not sure why though, but I kind of liked the fact that they include the
2:55
included those. Then we got a charger in here. So this is going to be I believe it was a
3:02
30 watt charger and yep I can see it right here. Hopefully it's going to be visible on
3:08
the camera if I can actually get a focus. So it's like right over here, last line from
3:15
the short ones 30 watts max. So again nice inclusion there. A fairly fast charger. Then also
3:25
a USB C to headphone jack which nice addition considering we already have this thing which also has a headphone jack
3:33
Conversion so basically we have two of them now and then also a really nice operated cable for charging now this is a type C to type C which yep makes a charger also type C
3:47
So again really nice accessories here feels really premium just from like unboxing it
3:55
It looks like there's nothing in this part. It's just a little bit of a foam for that little
4:01
cooling fan right here. So I'm just gonna put that to the side. I'm gonna come back to it soon
4:05
assuming I can find something that I wanted to show because during the setup it brings up a little bit of an
4:12
AR experience which basically you use your phone and you look at this thing and
4:18
it has like nice animation on the screen where this basically kind of goes down and a little bit of a thing appears
4:25
But in here I can see that we have a phone. Now I did already go to the setup so we don't have to
4:33
There we go, let's pop that out and that looks like it's all in here
4:37
Nothing else inside, I believe. Although... Yep, no, that's it. So now, I'm gonna move that to the side
4:48
Stop it out of the foil right here. and maybe organize a little bit of this mess that I made right here
4:58
Place it all neatly around. I'm going to get rid of this
5:04
So, starting off, we get the screen, which is probably one of the better screens right here
5:13
that I've seen in a while. So this is a Amulet display with a size of 6.59 inches
5:20
And this is 144 Hertz. Now these at the 144 is just like a more of a bragging right
5:28
120 is good enough. You're not going to really see those 24 hertzes more, to be honest
5:34
It's just to basically top it off. So yeah. Now, apart from that, it has also HDR 10 plus certification
5:45
so it's the actual HDR certification. So in here you're going to get really nice blocks
5:52
which is to be expected from an Amelette display. And outside of that, it apparently has average or peak of 650 knits
6:02
And then on top of the display, we have a Gorilla Glass 6. So again, basically everything premium right here
6:09
And the resolution of this display overall is just at 1080p. So, 180 by 20, 340
6:16
So I would say it's just an average or standard resolution for a..
6:22
screen. If I bring it up really close once the camera actually focuses, make it
6:29
like entirely full screen. If you're watching this on something bigger, you might
6:34
start to see pixels, but in majority of the cases you're most likely not gonna see it
6:42
If you're watching this on like a TV, yeah, probably you might. Assuming the camera
6:48
can see it. Now those lines that you can see on the camera, assuming you can see the
6:52
those like, for instance, files going, like waves and lines appearing, for instance, on like the Google logo that you can see right here
7:01
Those are not actually on the display. This is only to do with the refresh rate and how the camera picks that up
7:07
So this is not visible. The screen is just super sharp kind of like to bring it up here That just how it looks like Although still on the camera it does flicker a tiny bit I going to see what kind of refresh rate it is set to
7:23
It looks like it's 60, I think. So let's see. So you can see, we have a bunch of refresh rates here
7:38
60, 90, 120 and 144 so let's slap it to the maximum refresh rate and this is just
7:48
buttery smooth that just that looks really good now let's see if this actually
7:54
removed the weird stuff that we were seeing before it still looks like it appears
8:08
which like I said it is completely not visible in the normal circumstances
8:13
this is just what the camera picks up but continuing on from well the screen which is
8:20
really really good oh that's really nice sound honestly I really like this
8:28
honestly it resembles Nintendo Switch sound when you like they're kind of
8:34
here let me just play it for you so you can decide it yourself It's only lacking sound
8:43
Let's see if it's going to pick up. That is really nice
8:54
I really like that sound, honestly. But yeah. Going to the cameras at the back, you have triple cameras set up, as you can see
9:03
which the main shooter is a 64 megapixel wide. sensor then we have a 30 megapixel ultra-white and 5 megapixel macro now out of all
9:12
those at the macro I would say it's the most useless one here probably considering
9:16
it's only like 5 megapixels but who knows maybe it can actually perform fairly
9:21
well we're gonna see it in a second so let's pop the camera open whatever yes
9:27
yes cool and let's get my plant right here yes I know circles in the same thing
9:35
as square I just don't have anything else to put this in at the moment so okay so it looks like it's not
9:45
switching automatically to macro so I have to find it if I want to use it oh there
9:50
we go it's the last thing so let's see how close I will have to get it looks
9:59
like this is the closest I can get for it to be in focus let's actually move it
10:04
like this sorry for the light so it looks okay honestly it does look like it has for
10:20
instance more detail on the rocks whether than the plant itself but this could
10:24
be due to like the plant actually looking a little bit darker than it does for
10:28
me so keep that in mind but still the five megapix is okay here
10:34
Now let's go to photo right here and see what kind of settings we're running on the photo
10:43
So camera resolution, there we go. Let's move it to 64 and now capture another photo of the plant
10:52
For a moment there it looked like it was doing... Oh there we go
11:04
It does have live focus but it is kind of wonky. Let's see again if I can get it
11:11
Nope, I don't know how the live focus here works
11:21
So disregarding it, let's just, oh, there it is again, you can see that black square
11:27
There we go. So this is the 64 megapixel right here and oh there is no comparison
11:39
The macro is completely useless here. This photo is way ahead of the macro and whatever you can achieve with it
11:48
There is literally no comparison. So if you're planning to use the macro, just don't
11:53
Set it to 64 and capture width it. And when you zoom it in, this is just actually better than I ever expected
12:04
So in terms of how much detail it captures, it is really good there
12:09
Now let's see one more thing, which... It almost did it correctly
12:18
It's a little bit of a mess, but not by much. So if you look at the pine and needles, especially at the edges
12:24
so you can see, for instance, right here it's blurred out, like the pot itself, which is reddish color
12:30
It's blurred while the basically bulk of the focus is right here on the plant itself and also the rocks become blurry as you can
12:38
clearly see hopefully but if you look at for instance some pine needles especially
12:43
like right over here they become a little bit blurred out with the rocks not by
12:48
much but it's still visible here it still did better in terms of capturing that
12:53
quality and not actually or basically determining which is a which is the
13:00
subject and which is the background so still the bluer is done
13:04
And okay, now with hair, I don't know how it would look actually with something a little
13:09
bit thinner. It might look, if you zoom in, it might look a little bit funky at times, but honestly this
13:16
is better than I expected and there is a lot of detail in here anyway
13:23
And the photo cam came out really nicely as you can see. I really like the brightness of it, which it is brighter than it actually has for me in
13:34
here and even though it's not necessarily the most accurate representation of
13:39
how it actually looks like right now I do prefer it a little bit brighter it brings
13:43
out a little a little bit more pleasant look to a photo I would say and let's see
13:50
there's one last one last sensor right here which is the which I want to find
13:59
panorama nope night pro I'm looking for the ultra wide but I am..
14:09
Maybe I need to disable the 64
14:20
Would be kind of weird. Yep so it doesn work on Oh that actually bad So if you trying to use the ultra you have to disable the 64 sensor in the settings
14:37
Otherwise, these two options right here to switch between them don't actually appear
14:44
And also, I'm not sure if you can see it, but it does deform the photo quite a bit
14:52
So if I capture like right now and the photo you can see the weirdly shaped
15:00
objects. So for instance this thing it's supposed to be a square
15:06
yet it's kind of stretched weirdly and you can see this kind of like
15:10
just fish eye effect to it. Now this is something that they could probably
15:14
fix with a update but at the moment it looks a little bit weird
15:18
the quality is okay if you're you're planning to capture something with high amount of resolution and actual depth and
15:29
quality to it and probably ultra wide is not the best one. The 64 as you've seen is really, really good at it
15:36
But the two macro and the ultra wide are, well, macro is completely useless and ultra wide might
15:43
work in certain cases other than that. I'll probably stay away from it
15:49
So let's move that little plant out of the way. And now let's also pop out the selfie and see how that works
15:58
Now this is a 24 megapixel wide. So..
16:11
Under the light, so it did capture with the light. It did deal with the light
16:20
deal with the lighting fairly well. There is... I have to say it's a good selfie
16:28
There is detail. It doesn't really do any kind of like beauty and stuff like that, so that's really nice
16:34
It did capture, for instance, my face light up from whatever the lighting is around me here
16:40
but also dealt with the light behind me, which some phones might struggle with
16:45
So, props for the selfie right here. So now moving on to the..
16:50
last part which is the pure specifications of this device it comes with a
16:55
Snapdragon 865 plus so not the newest one but then I believe this phone did
17:03
come out already like in 2020 so yeah July 22nd 2020 so this phone did come
17:13
with the newest Snapdragon at that time right now I believe there's a newer one
17:18
although I don't actually remember the name of it. So outside of that, the SnobJ again, we have several different variants in terms of
17:28
storage and RAM. So the very lowest that you can get is the 128 gigabyte storage with
17:38
8 gigabytes RAM and you have two versions for that storage in terms of RAM. So you have the 8 and
17:43
12 gigabyte RAM, right? Then when we go back to also the 12 gigabyte RAM, we have two different
17:49
options for storages, 256 as well, and also half a terabyte 512 basically
17:56
So these two storages come with only 12 gigabytes RAM. And then we have the basically top of the top, which is 512 gigabyte storage with 16 gigs RAM
18:08
Now 16 gigs RAM is way more than I would expect any phone to need
18:14
This is something that Windows computers run at right now. And this is just more than I think any Android would ever need
18:24
Although, who knows, if you want to run basically every app at the same time
18:28
and never have to reload them, then sure. 16 gigs seems like a really good option here
18:35
And then the device has a fairly, and I mean, fairly substantial battery rate here of 6,000 malle amps
18:43
with a fast charging of 30 watts and also has a reverse charge of 10 watts
18:49
Now I believe the reverse charge is actually on the cable itself so it can act as a power bank
18:55
because I don't actually believe it has wireless charging but I'm going to quickly check it
19:01
I have a wireless charger although it's kind of tucked away and it will be a pain to get it on the shot
19:07
so I'm just going to place it there and see if it charges. And the answer is no
19:15
And the reverse charging, it is on a wire, which will basically, you would have to use this wire
19:23
Now, both of them are type C, so you can simply plug it into this and your other device
19:27
and it should charge it without a problem. And that being said, this device comes at a price tag of about 800 euros or $600
19:38
Now, $600, you do need to also add tax to it, so it will be a little bit more
19:43
That being said For the price of this device comes in It's an outstanding device
19:50
The display right here is one of the best It's just The display is just a pure joy to use
19:58
The device runs really quickly Snobbly as you can see Everything here just runs quick
20:04
There's literally no like lag between it As you can see These apps were all closed by the way
20:13
So I'm just right now opening them up freshly. Play Store. Now Play Store did take a little bit longer, but still
20:23
You can see basically everything jumps almost straight into the application. Apart from updates, maybe
20:33
So you can see that all of this just runs butter smooth and super fast
20:41
So, honestly, for the price that this device comes in, it is an outstanding device
20:46
Now, there's also a couple additional things to it that I didn't mention
20:51
Number one, if we move it to the back, you can see this logo right here. It's an okay logo
20:57
The color of it is also a little bit more stealthy, although it does have this kind of rainbow effect at specific angles when the light shines on it
21:05
which is quite nice. Nothing really groundbreaking right here. other phones also headed. I personally prefer it to be a little bit more blackish with this kind
21:15
of just more stealthy color options right here. But the logo itself right at the middle is
21:21
lit up. So if you wanted to, you could set it up to, I believe it's someone in the settings. I used to
21:26
mess around with it, but I don't know if I'll be able to quickly find it. I believe it's
21:32
going to be under their custom application probably. There is even such a thing. Let's see
21:38
what is this? Okay one more thing right here The speakers on this device top notch It is one of the best speakers I have heard on a smartphone thus far I think
21:57
So, and here, do we have anything? Lunch. Let's see. All right, it also comes with these trigger buttons
22:06
I completely forget about this. That's one of the ROG things that they do
22:10
so obviously the phone is made for people that game and it brings you the basically triggers
22:19
so if I can get it in the light you can see this kind of
22:22
let's see if I can get it come on let's see
22:33
so you can see it right here this kind of texture so it's right here and also here
22:39
and this is just so you these are pressure sensitive so when you're gaming on it
22:44
I basically press on them you can also set how hard you have to press for them to
22:49
activate and basically holding the device and pressing on them access for instance triggers or
22:55
in shooters you can have it scope in shoot really nice I have to say
23:01
now outside of that that logo does laid up like I said but
23:06
I cannot quickly find it where to actually change the settings for it
23:11
It's somewhere in here, but like I said, I just can't really find it
23:17
And outside of that, like I said, also with this little thingy thing
23:21
you do basically remove this rubber fill right here. Let's see if I can grab it somehow
23:29
There we go
23:39
You can see it comes out and then you have access to the port in here, which is this little plug right over here
23:48
So you basically just plug it in like so. Although, let me quickly put that down
24:06
There we go. Slide it open. The other way around
24:16
There we go. So it goes like this. Log it in here
24:23
Shut it and there we go. And there we go. And it's already working
24:36
So just as a little bit of a... over, so you can hear it how much noise it makes. I'm going to unplug it
24:45
There we go. So right now I'm going to place it literally next to the microphone, which is right over here
24:50
And when I plug it in, it's going to start the fan. So this is right next to the fan. It's actually not
25:08
as loud as probably on the microphone. So if we compare to just like ambient, I don't even
25:15
know if from here to I don't know like 50 centimeters further, you will hear it. We can see
25:24
It's, I don't think it's even picking it up. But still, this will basically cool your phone when
25:37
new gaming so it doesn't actually throttle and reduce the performance in games
25:41
Really nice. So let's unplug it, set it to the side and lastly I'm not I'm gonna
25:47
pop that back on and go into the case. So there's case for it and let's pop it on here
25:57
the other way around there we go that's what goes on. That's more of a bumper to be
26:01
honest as you can see when you plop it on it keeps basically majority
26:07
of the phone exposed, especially like the things that are considered a highlight in here
26:12
so the logo that glows, cameras along with some LEM, just lights, or not the light
26:18
but like stripes and the design of it, and it does look really well with it
26:23
But other than that, the casing won't provide that much actual protection to it
26:28
As you can see, a lot of the phone is exposed, so if you drop it the wrong way, it's not going
26:32
really do much in terms of protection. So that is probably more design. So when you put it on a
26:39
table, the lens from the cameras doesn't get scratched and just the glass bag doesn't get
26:45
scratched because it's going to be protected. But rather than that, it's a nice case anyway that
26:49
it's included with the device. So that being said, for the price that this device comes in
26:56
it is a really good device. Things like the display right here are just top-notch, the sound that the
27:02
device makes with the speakers that it has, it's also top-not. The optic feedback right here also really, really nice sounding in terms of just the sound
27:12
when you lock it, I really like it as well. But like I said, it's kind of ripped off from Nintendo
27:19
And other than that, the device price is, I would say, really good
27:24
For instance, Samsung's, that would come with the same kind of processor, assuming they don't
27:29
come with X enough. they would basically perform probably as good until it starts to overheat and it's going to throttle
27:36
Here you have a included cooler and the benefit of this also these triggers is for gaming
27:42
and it is really nice. So this device basically in my opinion catches almost every box
27:47
outside of the cameras. The cameras here are the weakest part of this entire phone
27:52
so everything else is just top notch apart from the cameras. The only good camera here is a 64 megapixel
27:59
which does really good photos, but then like the 5 megapixel macro and 13 megapixel
28:05
what is it, telephoto, ultra-white, is just garbage, and I wouldn't really use those
28:12
But obviously the phone isn't designed for photographing, it's more designed for gaming
28:16
and at that the device just thrives in every single way. And if you're looking for a phone specifically for that
28:23
hence down, I would say this is the best phone out of there, especially, or not especially, but even if you're not looking for a gaming phone or maybe
28:31
just some kind of light gaming, just the display on here makes it a joy to use it
28:37
It's so buttery, smooth, fast, everything here is just done really well
28:42
And I highly recommend this device if you're looking for one. Now, that being said, this would conclude the overview and also my thoughts of this phone
28:50
