Aside from the few tweaks, however, the ROG Phone 3 appears to have a very similar design to its predecessor. Unlike most modern flagship phones, the ROG Phone 3's display does not have a notch or a hole-punch cutout. Instead, the phone has noticeable bezels around the display, with front-facing stereo speakers. On the back of the phone, we also see the iconic RGB-illuminated Republic of Gamers logo.
