Asus recently launched the ROG Phone 3 with some ridiculous specs. You get a Snapdragon 865+, up to 12GB RAM, air triggers, and a 6,000mAh battery. Plus, there’s a 144Hz display to boot, making the phone an amazing buy for gamers. However, it seems that the ROG Phone 3 actually can support an even higher refresh rate — 160Hz to be precise.
Once the command is executed, and you have rebooted your device, you will find the new refresh rate option in Settings -> Display -> Refresh Rate. Alternatively, you can enable it using the Quick Settings tile for refresh rate in the ROG Phone 3. Moreover, if you’re worried about apps actually supporting this refresh rate, the report says that most apps that Asus says work at 144Hz will actually work just fine on 160Hz as well.

It’s unclear why this hidden feature is available on the ROG Phone 3. It could be an engineering test that Asus was running on the phones to see just how far it can push the display. Or maybe, the company is planning on making the feature accessible to all with a future OTA update. Either way, it’s exciting to know that such a feature exists on the ROG Phone 3, and if you want to, you can try and make the display become even smoother than it is.
