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 phone drops a cooling vent and stereotypical gaming phone aesthetic in favor of a slimmer design and IP68 rating.
  • Expect the phone to have a recommended price of $1,099.99, with a pre-order offer of $999.99.

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.

The ROG Phone 8 attempts to offer a more mainstream flagship experience. You’ve still got capacitive shoulder triggers, but the company has ditched the cooling vent and stereotypical gaming phone aesthetic seen on previous devices.
