ASUS has now officially announced the ROG Phone 8 and it will be launching on January 8th as part of its CES 2024 launch event. There could be 3 phones, namely the ROG Phone 8, the ROG Phone 8 Pro, and the ROG Phone 8 Ultimate.
ASUS ROG Phone 8 design
- One of the highlights of the ROG Phone lineup is the design of the phones. The leaked ROG Phone 8 renders suggest something unique only.
- The camera island housing the three lenses is polygon-shaped.
- In the renders, we can also see an LED ROG logo but we suppose this could be configured to project some other image also.
- Even though the renders present the device in a black colour, there could be other variants too.
- The front side is a simple punch hole one and the edges of the handset are flat.
ASUS ROG Phone 8 specifications (expected)
- Display: The vanilla ROG Phone 8 could sport a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with FHD+ resolution, a 165Hz refresh rate, and HDR10 support.
- Processor: The phone could ship with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. We have already come across the Geekbench listing of the device.
