ASUS ROG Phone 3, the next-generation gaming smartphone from the company is expected to make its debut sometime in this quarter. While nothing is officially revealed at this time, the phone has now appeared on the EEC certification portal.
The listing reveals that the smartphone carries model number ZS661KS and will be available worldwide. The development comes just days after the device appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking platform.
There are two variants of the upcoming ROG gaming smartphone — 8GB RAM and 12GB RAM. While the 8GB RAM model scored 902 points in the single-core test, the device managed to score 3074 points in the multi-core test.
On the other hand, the 12GB RAM model scored 910 points in the single-core test and 3,229 points in the multi-core test. Both the devices are powered by Snapdragon 865 processor and run Android 10 operating system out-of-the-box.
Prior to this, the upcoming ROG Phone 3 was also spotted at the database of the Wi-Fi Alliance. The listing for the device had revealed support for features like Wi-Fi 802.11ax, Wi-Fi Direct, and Miracast.

Xu Xuanyue, co-CEO of ASUS had said that the company is planning to launch the ROG Phone 3 and ZenFone 7 by the end of Q2 2020 or at the beginning of Q3 2020. However, the exact launch date remains unknown.
The ASUS ROG Phone 3, as the name itself indicates, will be the successor to the ROG Phone 2 and will mark the third-generation of gaming smartphones from the Taiwanese company. Since its predecessor was launched in July, we expect the company to carry the tradition and launch the ROG Phone 3 in July this year.
Before the phone gets official, we expect the company to reveal key specs and features of the smartphone through teasers on social media. By that time, more leaks about the device will also surface online, giving us a more clear look at the phone.
