When Qualcomm officially unveiled the Snapdragon 865 Plus, the company mentioned that apart from sporting higher clock speeds than the Snapdragon 865, there were a few extras too, such as support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. What Qualcomm failed to leave out from the fine print was that its latest and greatest mobile chipset can also reach higher clock speeds if it is able to maintain lower temperatures. The newly launched ASUS ROG Phone 3 showcases exactly that, according to the latest information shared by a tipster.

An image shared by Twitter tipster Digital Chat Station reveals the potential of the Snapdragon 865 Plus, just as long as the thermal solution of the smartphone can dissipate heat effectively. The image shows that the 3.10GHz Prime Core can reach a speed of 3.40GHz while maintaining a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius only. That’s an impressive result and if you think about it, if the Snapdragon 865 Plus can maintain such thermals and clock speeds, it can do fairly well in less bulkier flagships than the ROG Phone 3.
