The biggest danger to Samsung's Galaxy S20 Ultra's reign as king of the Android hill may be high-end gaming smartphones And the Asus ROG Phone 3 may be about to destroy it

According to a report via Gizmochina from Chinese tech site Mydrivers, the Taiwanese company will release the Asus ROG Phone 3 in the third quarter of 2020, despite dramatic economic losses in 2018 and notable production delays due to the coronavirus

Not much is known about the Asus ROG Phone 3 yet The device is said to feature a Snapdragon 865 processor and 5G capabilities It remains to be seen if the top model of the ROG Phone 3 will feature a higher-spec version of the 865 Plus, as the previous version did; with a late 2020 launch, this may happen depending on Qualcomm's chip release schedule, but there are still many unknowns Too many unknowns - especially with the coronavirus in full swing around the world

The current Asus ROG Phone 2 is quite a beast, powered by a Snapdragon 855 Plus and featuring a 659-inch AMOLED panel that already runs at 120Hz, the highest touch sampling frequency among all phones last year, and 240Hz On top of that, it has a monster 6000mAh battery to feed all the hardware

We can expect all of these impressive specs to be enhanced in the ROG Phone 3 There is speculation that it will feature a 144Hz refresh screen to match the improved game rendering performance

The current versions already offer impressive RAM and storage, up to 12GB and 1TB respectively Perhaps a 16GB option is needed to compete with the top S20 Ultra model

One area where the ROG Phone 3 could improve is the camera, but a pro-gaming phone does not need that much sensor performance

Perhaps Asus could add a ROG Kunai Gamepad, a Nintendo Switch-like controller, to the package (this is just my wish list)

The Asus ROG Phone 3 is not the only next-generation gaming phone trying to kill the Galaxy S20 Ultra; the Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Pro was announced earlier this month with a huge 71-inch screen, monstrous guts, and a low price just announced earlier this month The phone surpasses the S20 Ultra's 69-inch screen while offering physical shoulder buttons, which may prove important for those looking for a high-performance gaming phone that can compete with the Nintendo Switch

With its screen, high speed, and huge storage options, many see the Galaxy S20 Ultra as a potential machine for hardcore mobile gamers; Xiaomi and Asus seem to be trying to discourage that;
