ASUS’ gaming smartphone, the ROG Phone, is finally here in the Philippines. As you all know, it’s packed with features that are not normally found in most flagship smartphones, but what we want to know is how well it performs. While we wait for our full review, let’s check out the benchmark scores.

The ROG Phone got a significantly higher score in AnTuTu, reaching almost 300K, then followed by the Mate 20 Pro, the Poco F1, and the Note9. It’s also the highest in 3DMark SSE OpenGL ES 3.1 and PC Mark Work 2.0.
Now let’s take a look at its gaming performance (with the AeroActive Cooler attached) with the help of the Gamebench app:
