ASUS ROG Phone 8 Series Officially Announced

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) officially unveiled the new ROG Phone 8 series, which boasts a sleek and lighter design together with thinner bezels.

The ROG Phone 8 series is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor with 8,533Mbps LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage for unmatched performance. To allow marathon gaming sessions without overheating, the revolutionary Rapid-Cooling Conductor design — part of the advanced GameCool 8 thermal design — conducts heat directly from the processor to the back cover. Additionally, the all-new AeroActive Cooler X clip-on cooler is now 29% smaller but offers 1.2X higher thermal efficiency, reducing the back cover temperature by as much as 26°C. Additionally, the ROG Phone 8 series is also the world’s first IP68-compliant gaming smartphone.

The ROG Phone 8 series features a brand-new 6.78″ flexible AMOLED (Samsung E6) panel that supports adaptive refresh rates using LTPO technology. The system can adjust the refresh rate automatically from 1-120Hz depending on the current task to reduce power consumption. Users can also choose up to a 165Hz refresh rate for smooth gaming, and the touch sampling rate goes up to an amazing 720Hz for instant response. Peak brightness is now boosted to 2500 nits, so users can game or watch movies even in sunlight with no problem at all. The superb visuals are tuned in collaboration with leading visual-processing company Pixelworks for world-beating color accuracy.

For the first time, the ROG Phone 8 series packs a triple-camera setup on the back — 50MP main camera with 6-axis Hybrid Gimbal Stabilizer 3.0 + 13MP ultra-wide lens + 32MP 3x telephoto lens. The phone also has a 32MP RGBW front camera with pixel binning of 1.4μm to output 8MP photos.

The new ROG Phone 8 series also comes with AI-enhanced features to elevate the gaming experience. Gamers can effortlessly shift a game to the background with Background Mode or capture key moments with X Capture, making these devices indispensable to discerning gamers. The intuitive AI Grabber for text capture and X Sense further elevate the gaming experience, providing tips and assistance when needed. AI Grabber can now also grab text directly from games using Machine-Learning Recognition technology, and X Capture and X Sense 2.0 support more new top games thanks to AI Pattern Recognition technology.

Other AI-powered features include Semantic Search using natural language in the Gallery, Launcher, and Settings. AI Wallpaper can create amazing-looking wallpapers using Stable Diffusion technology, and AI noise-cancelation technology supports bidirectional noise cancelation for crystal-clear sound in voice calls, video calls, and in-game communications.

AniMe Vision is a 341-element display that can display preset or user-created animations, and users can also unlock secret animations by touching their phone back-to-back with another ROG Phone 8 Pro/Pro Edition.

The ASUS ROG Phone 8 series will tentatively be launched in Malaysia this 30th January 2024.
