Asus ROG Phone 8/8 Pro pre-orders in the US might kick off in late February

Presented more than a month ago, the ROG Phone 8 and ROG Phone 8 Pro are not yet available for purchase in the United States. This is clear evidence that North America is not a major market for Asus, at least for now.

But if you're one of the rare Asus fans who can't wait to get their hands on the company's latest gaming-focused flagships, we have some good news for you. Both ROG Phone 8 And ROG Phone 8 Pro will be available for pre-order in the US starting February 29 (via GSMArene).

The bad news is that it can take up to a month to receive the phone you pre-ordered. An official Asus retailer confirmed that “expected shipping dates will be March 11-31.” Although these dates relate to ROG Phone 8 With Pro being available in the US, it's probably safe to assume that the vanilla version will launch around the same time.

As for the price, Asus announced that the ROG Phone 8 costs $1,100, while the ROG Phone 8 Pro will retail for $1,200. There is also a ROG Phone 8 Pro Edition, which could also be pre-ordered later this month, but for this one, customers will have to shell out no less than $1,500.

THE ROG Phone 8 Pro Edition comes with AeroActive Cooler X and Aero Case, and significantly more memory compared to other models: 24 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage.
