The ROG Gaming Phone is getting another update this year, and unlike previous generations, the ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro has changed its design drastically, ditching the previous lens DECO design and also redesigning the back panel to make it look less like an extreme gaming phone.
The design of the ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro is more day-to-day and more mature. The first thing that has been added to the back panel is an Anime Vision Optical Matrix Screen with 341 programmable Mini-LED beads, support for 20+ beautiful pre-made animations, and the ability to set up your own GIF displays.
The DECO portion of the lens has also been redesigned, ditching the previous long strip and bringing in a shorter rectangle, and retaining beveled corners on top of that, with the ROG logo emblazoned on it.
The thickness and weight of the ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro has also been reduced compared to its predecessor, with the weight reduced from 246g to 225g, and the thickness slimmed down from 10.49mm to 8.9mm, which is also a huge improvement in feel.
The ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro is undoubtedly strong in terms of performance, equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 flagship mobile platform, with a CPU frequency of up to 3.3GHz, a 30% increase in CPU performance, a 25% increase in GPU performance, with up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB UFS4.0 ROM, the performance is sufficiently strong.
In terms of heat dissipation, it is equipped with Matrix Liquid Cooling Thermal Architecture 8.0, a SoC-centered architectural design that dissipates heat faster and does not easily conduct heat sources to the grip position. With the external Cooler Fan X, it greatly reduces the heating of the phone under high load conditions, ensuring a cooler phone and a more stable gaming experience.
ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro is equipped with a 6.78-inch AMOLED straight screen on the front, supporting 165Hz ultra-high refresh rate and adaptive refresh rate adjustment. The screen is made of Samsung E6 emitting material, and the peak brightness can go up to 2,500nits, which is also the top level of the screen.
ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro also has a great improvement in the configuration of the image module, the main camera is equipped with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 sensor, with six-axis stabilization of the Hybrid head 3.0, but also supports two times the lossless zoom.
There's also a telephoto lens on this gaming phone, a 32-megapixel one that supports 3x optical zoom, 5x lossless zoom, and OIS optical stabilization. The ultra-wide-angle lens is a 13-megapixel sensor with a free-form lens, and ROG's image configuration this time is really surprising.
Charging life, ROG Phone 8 Pro built-in 5500mAh battery, and support 65W HyperCharge fast charging, from 0 to 100% only need 39 minutes, and it also supports 15W wireless charging, which is also a unique class in the game phone, worthy of praise.
The launch of the ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro has shown me a machine that tends to have a normal design and is more oriented towards everyday use. From the look, to the improved image, the improved feel and the addition of wireless charging, it feels like it's full of sincerity, and the pricing is certainly something to look forward to, so I'm sure that this generation will be a top choice for many of my friends to get their next new phone.
