ASUS will officially unveil the ROG Gaming Phone 3 on July 23rd. Ahead of the launch, the Taiwanese company has been teasing several features that the powerful gaming machine will bring with it. The latest teaser borders on the innovative AirTriggers ultrasonic buttons.

ASUS has hinted that the ROG 3 will have four different gestures control built into the AirTrigger. Those familiar with the ROG Phone II will recall that the phone features what ASUS called AirTriggers on the right edge. These triggers aren’t exactly buttons, but ultrasonic pressure-sensitive regions in the device’s frame and they can be mapped to emulate a tap on the screen.

Later on, the company pushed an update to the phone which added a second function which essentially allows you to map a horizontal slide function on the screen to one of the AirTriggers. This new feature could come in handy in a variety of games that require you to swipe horizontally on the screen to perform a specific function. For example, in Asphalt 9 Legends, the horizontal slide to change lanes can be mapped to the AirTriggers.

There is no mention of what the added AirTrigger features will be but it sure will be features that will afford users easy gaming.

The ROG Phone 3 is expected to arrive with a 6.59-inch AMOLED display that will offer Full HD+ resolution, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, and a refresh rate of up to 144Hz. It will be powered by a Snapdragon 865 Plus SoC paired with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM.
