Coming to the specifications, Asus has already confirmed that the Asus ROG Phone 3 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ SoC and pack a large 6,000mAh battery just like its predecessor.

It will reportedly come in three variants of 8GB, 12GB, and 16GB along with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB internal storage options.
