Asus finally launches the ROG Phone 8/8 Pro in the US

Asus presented the ROG Phone 8 series almost two months ago, but the company's gaming-focused flagships only appeared in the United States this week. Unfortunately, even if you order one today, it will take you about a month to get your hands on the phone.

If you opt for the vanilla model, the ROG Phone 8 is now available for just $999.99, which includes a $100 pre-order discount. THE ROG Phone 8 The Pro model that comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage costs $1,199.99, while the ROG Phone 8 The Pro Bundle (24GB/1TB) retails for no less than $1,499.99.

THE ROG Phone 8 Pro Bundle includes a free AeroActive Cooler X in addition to the phone. It is also worth mentioning that the American versions of the ROG Phone 8 And ROG Phone 8 Pro are compatible with GSM networks, including AT&T, T-Mobile, and MVNOs that use these carriers' networks.

Currently, both phones are available in Phantom Black and Rebel Gray. They can be purchased from Asus Online Store and various US retailers such as Amazon, Newegg and Mobile Advance.

Although both flagships are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, the Pro model packs more RAM and storage. Other than that, there are no other major differences between the two phones in terms of specifications.

THE ROG Phone 8 is available in two variants: 256/12 GB and 256/16 GB. The Pro version offers either 512/16 GB or 1 TB/24 GB, hence the price difference.
