Asus Rog Phone 3 is one of the most loved devices among the users due to a lot of power and plenty of features designed primarily for gaming. The ROG Phone 3’s design comes with a lot more toned down and muted version than its predecessor to make it look more appealing to the public. However, the phone also brought many bugs with it such as charging issues, ghost touch, and refresh rate issues. But, now Asus is back with a fix in the form of the new update with version 17.0823.2008.70 and comes with many bug fixes with a lot of improvements in the gaming experience. The update has already been started to roll out from September 21, 2020. The size of this update is only 209.08 MB
Even with all the minor bug fixes, the biggest change in this update is the new “Bypass Charging” feature. The Taiwanese company claims that with this Bypass Charging feature turned ON, the device will transfer the current to the device to power up the device instead of charging the battery. This feature helps us to save battery even while playing games still not charging the phone which will reduce the extra heating of the phone.
The new Bypass Charging feature is very similar to the “charging limit” feature already available on device but there are a few differences. The first difference is that it can be easily turned on and off from the phone’s Game Genie overlay, as it’s mainly used only while gaming. The second difference is that Bypass Charging doesn’t force you to set a limit or hit a certain battery percentage for it to work. You can turn it on whenever needed.
