We saw how aggressive the first ROG Phone looked from the back with all the lines & the huge vent, but the ROG Phone 3 has a much cleaner back. The build materials remain the same, i.e., glass on the back & metal on the sides. The logo on the back has LEDs under it, so it lights up. The only thing that the New ROG Phone 3 lacks is that it 3.5 mm headphone jack. In terms of gaming, wired headsets are much preferred by a gamer any day, although Asus packed a Type-C to 3.5 mm adapter but it could have been the only beast in the market if they included the headphone jack.
