What I hope is that maybe Pixelworks by doing the display for Rog 5 did also the fix for the rog 3, coming on android 11, this is the last hope we have.
But if someone wanna buy Rog 5, wait some weeks/months and see what users say.
DO NOT watch youtube reviews because they are all paid to don't tell the truth.
Anyway for gaming rog 3 didn't give any problem to me, even if I expected more from the snapdragon 865... oneplus is a bit better but also reach higher temperatures in heavy games (ex. black desert mobile)
And I heard that also the snapdragon 888 is not doing miracles...

Honestly you've got two choices,

Wait till the 5 comes out and see what/if any issues appear,

Or two,

Buy the 3 when the 5 comes out due to a drop in price knowing there's like, one "major" issue.

As Averan said, the Black crush REALLY isn't that bad unless you're watching things under 30% brightness, and all phones have the same issue, it's definitely improving with each ota update.

Make sure you buy an ORIGINAL rog phone 3 from somewhere with a reputation for selling *genuine* phones, or you'll get stuck with a Tencent model that's had the WW rom flashed which causes A LOT of issues

I have to say that my Tencent ROG 3 works great (with Cn rom). Yes the black crush issue is there but doesn't affect me when playing games. I haven't had any issues with the phone otherwise. Must say that the Air Triggers are quite nice and it would be hard to go back to a phone without them in terms of playing games. Otherwise, there are definitely some better displays out there.

thank you for such an amazing answer, i wasn't throwing the tencent model under the bus at all, but the tencent rog with the WW rom seems to cause a hell of a lot of issues and is the culprit for most of the issues people are experiencing

of course the display is crappy compared to others resolution wise, but refresh rate wise its great

Thank you again for your level headed and amazing response

Cant agree with you there at all, i get maybe a 1-2 dropped frames for LITERALLY 1 second? but then it shoots straight back up to 60 again

I'm almost certain you have a tencent device flashed with a WW rom, or SUPER old firmware, because i have literally 0 of these frame drops to 30 what so ever, never ever have
