Basically title. Is it still worth it to purchase one if I can get it at a reasonable price? Or should I just wait for the 5? I'm worried they might stop supporting the 3 soon after the 5 drops. Any opinions would be appreciated, would like some advice before dropping $1k on a phone

ROG 3 is still a latest device and so they will not stop supporting it when ROG 5 drops in but i suggest you that always go for latest tech Obviously ROG 5 will be an improvement over ROG 3 so if you can than please go with ROG 5 if you dont have any budget issues but if your budget is much tighter than ROG 3 also is not a bad deal.
Thanks for the reply! And budget isn't really a issue (though saving any amount of money is always nice). Just want to know how much of a upgrade it is between the two, if it's night/day then I'll definitely want to go with the 5. But if the difference is minimal, then it might just be worth me saving a few hundred or so to get the previous model. I guess I won't really know until the 10th. Regardless I'll be getting one of them, been eyeing these sorts of phones for awhile, and I figured I might as well upgrade.
Don't forget about rog2 🤣🤣🤣 I guess they did
Yeah that's what has me worried about purchasing the 3, exactly what happened to the 2.
Nope many times mod have said that updates for ROG 2 will be provided whenever those will be ready after 10th of march most probably all models monthly security patches and updates will be back on track so dont worry & stay tuned!
Yes sure, and i personally feel ROG 5 will be a big improvement over 3 after reading some rumours & i am guessing, but we will see on 10th and than you are free to make your perfect match.
Happy Gaming!
1k eh? must be an aussie??
if so, not that it doesnt have VoLTE in Australia rn, but besides that its great :D i cant really see the rog 5 being much better than the rog 3 tbh, and apparently the sd888 has heat issues atm
I'm actually from the US haha, but yeah I'm going back and forth about it. Can't quite decide, been talking to someone that can sell me a rog 3 for around $875 (512gb/12gb ram). Deciding if I should take the offer or not.
ah fair haha
well i will definitely recommend that you see if it has any information under system update - if not than it may be a tencent device flashed with WW rom which can cause a lot of issues, unless you 100% trust the seller that it was brought in a store and not online :)
VoLTE still might not be a thing where you are, but if you pester ASUS enough it may get added :P
other than that, i honestly reckon its still a good deal, its less than a year old, the camera is ehhh but its not horrible
your call, but id say do it! :D
He sent me pictures of the box and everything. It's the triangular shaped box. It says Republic of Gamers on the back instead of Tecent Games. I assume it's the global version, but I could be mistaken. Comes with the cooler and everything. So yeah, I might end up doing it. Hopefully t mobile (my service provider) will accept the phone.
One thing you have to remember is the 3 comes with A10 out of the box and the 5 is said to be A11 out of the box,so the 5 will go up A13
So 3 won't go up to a13?
not officially, but who knows, it might!
as you've probably seen on the forums people are super salty that the 3 doesnt have android 11 yet lol
Лучше подождать 6 рог фон, там уже будет нормальный чипсет потом что у куалкома через один выходит норм чипсет. Вот 865+ норм а вот 888 так себе, вот после бубет допилиный норм чипсет на 5 нанометрах
I'm still pretty happy with my ROG Phone 3 (minus issues with Asus's support...). If you can find a good deal for it, I'd say go for it (I'm seeing it STILL go for almost $1,000 on Amazon, yeesh). Otherwise, it may be better to wait for the ROG Phone 5.
I ended up getting a 512gb/12gb ram one for almost $900. It's arriving today by the end of the day. I'm excited! One feature that I hope they add to the Rog 3 (that I saw for the 5) is the animated lock screens themed after certain games.
No updates even in top list Rog 2 missing and I purchased it last year
It's 12 March now
