New Asus ROG Phone 8 high-res images pop up ahead of launch

For those of you who can't get enough of Asus' upcoming gaming phone, the ROG Phone 8, we've got more high-resolution images showing off the device from almost every angle (via MySmartPrice).

Of course, if you're not super excited about Asus' next flagship and have already seen the previous leaked photos, you won't be missing much. The ROG Phone 8 and ROG Phone 8 Pro are expected to be officially revealed on January 16.

Although they will initially be available in China, Asus will certainly launch both models in other countries soon after. If you're a fan of the series and already own one of the previous ROG Phone models, there's definitely reason to upgrade.

Although the specs are clearly better than the ROG phone models launched 2-3 years ago, the design also seems to have changed. One thing I like about the upcoming ROG Phone 8 and ROG Phone 8 Pro is their flat, non-glossy design. This is a big improvement coming from the ROG Phone 5, which not only looks massive, but it's also very slippery due to its glossy back.

Coming to the specifications, the ROG Phone 8 Pro is said to feature a stunning 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate and HDR10 support. Additionally, it is safe to assume that Asus will include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, along with up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage.

Camera-wise, the ROG Phone 8 Pro is set to impress. Although nothing has been confirmed yet, the upcoming flagship is said to feature a 50-megapixel main camera using Sony's IMX890 sensor, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a third 32-megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom.

The ROG Phone 8 and ROG Phone 8 Pro are said to be IP68 certified. They will be powered by 5,500mAh batteries with 65W fast charging support and will run Android 14 right out of the box.
