Asus ROG Phone 3 will arrive in July, according to Tencent


It was already assumed that Asus’ next gaming-centric flagship phone, the ROG Phone 3, would debut in or around July 2020, but now Chinese videogame publisher Tencent has confirmed its arrival.

Tencent Games, who has an involvement in various established titles – including League of Legends, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite – posted on Chinese social media site Weibo on 23 June that the ROG Phone 3 will be arriving next month.
