ASUS ROG Phone Benchmarks

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.

• AnTuTu – 298,128
• 3DMark – 4,748 (SSE – OpenGL ES 3.1), 3,696 (SEE – Vulkan)
• PCMark – 9,015 (Work 2.0)
• Geekbench 4 – 2,471 (Single-Core), 9,066 (Multi-Core), 14,586 (RenderScript)
• AndroBench – 707.49 MB/s (Read), 204.01 MB/s (Write)

The ASUS ROG Phone got really high scores from the listed benchmark applications. But how does it compare to other popular flagship smartphones that we reviewed? Check out the table below:

	ROG Phone	Pocophone F1	Samsung Galaxy Note9	Huawei Mate 20 Pro
AnTuTu	298,128	264,977	239,067	273,233
Geekbench 4
~ Single-Core	2,471	2,475	3,731	3,295
~ Multi-Core	9,066	9,004	9,038	9,831
~ RenderScript	14,586	14,415
3D Mark
~ SSE - OpenGL ES 3.1	4,748	3,252	3,341	3,507
~ SSE - Vulkan	3,696	2,706	2,870	4,203
PC Mark (Work 2.0)	9,015	7,427	4,896	7,645
AndroBench
~ Read	707.49 MB/s	700.88 MB/s	823.46 MB/s	824 MB/s
~ Write	204.01 MB/s	146.69 MB/s	192.86 MB/s	194MB/s

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:

Game	FPS	Temp
Asphalt 9	49
Mobile Legends	58	38.5 C
PUBG Mobile	40	40.6 C
Rules of Survival	55	39.3 C
Tekken 7	85	39 C

Looking at the numbers, the ROG Phone can dish out high frame rates while keeping the internal temperature at comfortable levels. We’ll further test its capabilities in our full review so watch out for that.
