The ROG Phone 8 series has been reimaged, preserving the console-like gaming experience with the inclusion of built-in Air Trigger controls while expanding its appeal to individuals in search of a versatile device. The new design is up to 15% thinner than the previous generation, without sacrificing performance. The emphasis on premium design and durability ensures that these devices are not just phones; they are statements of sophistication and power. Speaking of power, it boasts an extensive battery life featuring a massive 5500mAh battery, where users can enjoy uninterrupted gaming for up to two days. In addition to offering premium design and ultimate performance, the ROG Phone 8 series is an IP68-compliant gaming smartphone, built to resist dust and water ingress for worry-free use in any environment.

At the core of the ROG Phone 8 series lies the potent Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, supported by 8533 Mbps LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage for unmatched performance. This platform delivers 25% better GPU performance and 25% improved power efficiency. Equipped with Snapdragon Elite Gaming features, it offers desktop-level performance, elevated graphics, and lightning-fast speeds on the ROG Phone 8.
