As for the improvements and selling points of this series, the following article reads about the latest professional gaming flagship phones, and the following mainly talks about the changes in the ROG gaming phone 8 Pro.
The exterior design has changed greatly, leaning in the direction of light and thin
Both ROG Phone 8 series products have been tweaked in terms of appearance, but they will still retain a distinctive gaming style, while tending to be thin and light and design of mainstream flagships, with a thinner body and successful weight reduction, which means that gaming phones are no longer "stout" and have changed to a daily workhorse. Among them, the lens group has changed from an irregular rectangle to an irregular square matrix, which should be to take care of the horizontal grip feeling, the frame has a slight arc for natural transition, and the lower right corner of the lens group is rounded and chamfered.
This generation, the full-screen design scheme is still adopted, and at the same time, the viewing experience is improved, because the bezels on all sides are further narrowed, and the screen-to-body ratio is as high as 94%, whether it is watching movies or games, the overall visual effect will be significantly improved.
Hardware configuration, a new version of large memory
Both products use Snapdragon 8 Gen3 + LPDDR5X + UFS 4.0 top specifications, the same high-quality Samsung E6 165Hz screen, "matrix liquid cooling architecture 8.0", the same flagship screen, battery capacity, fast charging, etc., the level of stacking is very different, very conscientious.
Among them, the standard version has also upgraded the large memory strategy, starting from 12+256GB, among which the ROG gaming phone 8 Pro has a clear difference from the previous generation is the addition of a large memory version, in addition to the regular 16+512GB version, the top is equipped with a 24+1TB storage combination, which can fully take care of the needs of high-quality images, and at the same time, the large space required by games is also better met. Truth be told, these are practical for most gamers, meaning not only a professional-grade gaming phone, but also a daily workhorse.
Epic enhancements to the imagery
In the past, it can be said that the image level of e-sports gaming phones was just scanning the code, but times have changed, and the ROG gaming phone 8 series is the first to turn on the involution mode. In particular, the ROG Gaming Phone 8 Pro has added a 32-megapixel 3X telephoto lens, as well as an optimized and mature Sony IMX890 outsole main camera, upgraded to the "6-axis anti-handshake gimbal 3.0", which means that it can shoot farther and more stable, and at the same time, whether it is portraits, landscapes, close-ups, etc., objects in motion can be easily handled.
Detailing and price conjecture
The ROG Phone 8 Series comes standard with flagship-grade IP68 dust and water resistance, NFC, a custom Type C port, support for Cooler Fan X, AirTrigger shoulder buttons, and more. In addition, the ROG Phone 8 Pro has been upgraded to the "AniMe Vision" light matrix display, which consists of 341 programmable LEDs and has more than a dozen preset animations, including incoming calls, charging, in-game status displays, and custom editing.
Now, the ROG gaming phone configuration has been fully revealed, and the price has not yet been announced.
