ASUS has officially announced that the highly anticipated ROG Phone 8 series will be making its debut in China on January 16. The gaming smartphone is expected to come equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and ASUS’s advanced heat dissipation technology to deliver top-notch gaming performance. Although the announcement did not provide any new information about the device, it did reveal that the launch event will take place at 7:30 PM (GMT+8).
What We Know So Far
While ASUS has not released many details about the ROG Phone 8 series, a teaser image shared by the company offers a glimpse of the back design. Netizens have analyzed the image and enhanced the shadows, revealing a redesigned camera island. The camera module is square-shaped and cuts off from the right edge, giving it a pentagon-like appearance. It features three camera modules and an LED flash. Based on the absence of flashy RGB LEDs on the back, it is speculated that this might be the standard version of the ROG Phone 8.
Geekbench listings have also provided some interesting insights into the three models of the series: ROG Phone 8, ROG Phone 8 Pro, and ROG Phone 8 Ultimate. The vanilla model is expected to come with 16GB of RAM, while the Pro and Ultimate models will have 24GB of RAM. Additionally, the vanilla ROG Phone 8 will be equipped with a standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, while the Pro and Ultimate models will feature an overclocked variant of the chip with a slightly boosted peak clock speed.
Global Launch and CES 2024
Although the global launch date for the ROG Phone 8 series has not been confirmed, ASUS ROG has scheduled an event on January 8, a day before CES 2024, to unveil its “exciting new lineup for 2024.” Speculations suggest that this event might serve as the platform for ASUS to introduce the ROG Phone 8 to the global market.
