ASUS ROG Phone 8 announced: A gaming phone that doesn’t look like one

  • ASUS has launched the ROG Phone 8 smartphone, and it’s a significant change from previous models.

The ASUS ROG Phone series was one of the first modern gaming phone lines, bringing a ton of power, improved cooling, and gaming-specific features. Now, the company has revealed the ROG Phone 8, and it’s a departure of sorts from previous devices.
