Asus has a “Premium” phone on the market geared towards the gaming experience and has recently released its third generation after the good reception that the ROG Phone 2 had already had . However, the surprise found in the last week is a 160 Hz screen mode for the Asus ROG Phone 3, something that has never been seen in the commercial mobile market until now.

Asus ROG Phone 3 has a 6.59-inch Super AMOLED type panel that allows users to opt for a refresh rate of 60, 90, 120 and 144 Hz . As if that were not enough, browsing through the internal files of the device, a hidden mode has been found that allows these figures to be maximized with 160 Hz that can be activated if you have a little programming knowledge about it.

Activating 160 Hz on Asus ROG Phone 3: Asus ROG Phone 3 has a 160 Hz screen stealth mode

ASUS ROG Phone 3 is the first terminal with 160 Hz panel

As is customary, XDA-Developers are responsible for finding this surprise on the Smartphone and even explain in detail how to activate the hidden mode by executing a DAB command with the terminal connected to a computer: adb shell setprop debug. vendor.asus.fps.eng 1 .

As mentioned above, some of the most popular video games on the mobile market are compatible with a frame rate of 144 fps and ROG Phone 3 is able to take full advantage of it, but if these applications have unlimited fps settings, the screen can accurately represent 160 Hz .

The reasons why the Asian brand has not publicly mentioned this feature and that it cannot be used by default lie in the performance problems that may be encountered. And it is that its activation will lead to a higher battery consumption, a poorer general performance and there could even be problems at the hardware level, so it is recommended to take it into account in case you want to try this hidden mode.

In conclusion, one of the trends in the world of monitors for years has already established itself in the segment of high-end phones. Does it seem important to you when making a decision?
