HIGHLIGHTS
ASUS ROG Phone 8 launch dates for various markets announced.
The phone’s design and specifications have leaked.
We expect at least one of the models to feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC
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.
Memory: The performance could be backed by up to 24GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB UFS 4.0 storage.
Battery: The internals could also consist of a 5,500mAh battery with 65W fast charging support.
Software: On top of this hardware, we could expect Android 14-based ROG UI.
Cameras: On the back, the phone could be housing a 50MP Sony IMX890 main camera along with a 13MP ultrawide snapper, and a 32MP 3x optical zoom lens. For selfies, you could get a 32MP front camera.
Miscellaneous: The phone could also feature an IP68 rating, 5G, Wi-Fi 6/6E, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, and a USB-C socket.
Even though the post shared by ASUS India mentions the date to be January 8th, the timer on this page suggests in Indian timing, that would be January 9th at 4:30 AM. We think this is for the ASUS Launch Event at CES 2024 and the actual phone launch timing could be different
