ROG Phone 8 Series: Specs and Features

Design and Display

The ROG Phone 8 and 8 Pro boast a 6.78-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED panel, which is a Samsung E6 panel. The display has a 165Hz refresh rate, 720Hz touch sampling rate, and can go as bright as 2,500 nits under direct sunlight. Moreover, it is an LTPO panel and can adjust its refresh rate from 1-120Hz. ASUS claims the display was tuned in collaboration with Pixelworks for better color accuracy.
ROG Phone 8 features the latest from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage, and up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM. The performance is backed up by ROG’s signature Rapid-Cooling Conductor design, which the company claims is a part of their advanced “GameCool 8 Thermal Design,” which conducts and disperses heat directly from the processor to the back cover.

Cameras

The ROG Phone 8 comes with lots of AI features this year, and the first bunch of features are found in cameras. ASUS has worked with OZO Audio Technology this year to implement features such as Wind Noise Elimination.
For starters, the primary 50 MP camera features ASUS’s Gimbal Stabilization tech for shake-free photos and videos. Then, there’s the secondary 13 MP ultrawide lens and a 32 MP Telephoto lens for 3x lossless zoom and pixel-binned photos with OIS. The front camera is also a 32 MP shooter with a 90-degree field of view. Cameras have always been the weakest point of gaming smartphones, so color us surprised if the ROG Phone 8 manages to turn things around. The hardware looks promising and the software processing is what it’ll boil down to.

Battery

The ROG Phone 8 series boasts a 5,500 mAh battery capable of charging at 65W wired with ASUS’ Hypercharge tech, and 15W wirelessly using the Qi standard. The ROG Phone 7 Ultimate, in comparison, had a 6,000 mAh unit, and battery life was its strong selling point.

The ROG Phone 8 has been priced at $1,099.99 for the 16GB+256GB variant and the ROG Phone 8 Pro costs $1,199.99 for the 16GB+512GB variant. As for the highest-end 24GB+1TB variant, which is called the ROG Phone 8 Pro Edition, you will have to shell out $1,499.99.
