Asus continues teasing ROG Phone 8 with pro-level camera system،

Just recently, Asus announced that it would be hosting an event to showcase ROG's latest lineup for 2024. The Taiwanese tech giant is keeping the excitement going for its soon-to-be-released gaming smartphone, the ROG Phone 8. This powerhouse could fly star at the January 8 event, and a preview of its design was revealed alongside a brand new image.

Asus has posted on X, revealing a snapshot of the ROG Phone 8's rear and camera system. The big news? A brand new camera system is in the works. However, the company is keeping the camera specifications under wraps. What's intriguing, however, is the call to action. Asus invites people to take part in a blind photo test, comparing images taken on phones from industry giants. Those who participate have a chance to win a unit of the highly anticipated gaming smartphone.

While gaming smartphones typically prioritize performance over camera quality, Asus promises a significant upgrade to the ROG Phone 8's camera capabilities, showcasing its new camera system professional level. The previous two generations, the ROG Phone 6 and ROG Phone 7, stuck to the same hardware (except for the front camera). The latter, however, leveraged the advanced technology of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, powering its performance.

For example, the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate, one of the best gaming phones, has a triple camera system, including a 50 MP primary shooter, 13 MP ultra-wide, and 8 MP macro . While this setup is adequate for everyday use, it's not as advanced as the cameras found on other high-end smartphones.

With the ROG Phone 8, Asus is likely aiming to make its camera system more competitive with other smartphones in its price range, like the upcoming Galaxy S24 Ultra, which is expected to feature a high-end camera system, or the Xperia 1 V, which also finds its place among the best gaming phones. Asus needs to step up its game to compete.

Apart from the camera upgrade, the ROG Phone 8 is expected to be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, ensuring exceptional performance for gaming and other demanding tasks. Other details about the phone's specifications are still scarce, but we can expect to hear more in the coming weeks.
