ASUS has been wowing us for years with its ROG Phone series, a modern line of gaming phones equipped with impressive hardware, enhanced cooling, and numerous gaming features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Taiwanese company has now revealed its latest iteration, the ASUS ROG Phone 8 series<\/a>, as promised<\/a>. With the ROG Phone 8 series, ASUS likely intends to deliver the mainstream Android flagship experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In terms of design, the latest iteration is a far cry from the previous generations. Although you still get the capacitive shoulder triggers, the company has ditched the cooling vent and the typical gaming-oriented design we have seen on previous devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, this time, with the ASUS ROG Phone 8<\/a> series, we have a bit toned-down and slimmer design, more like the mainstream smartphones, and it lines up with the leaked renders<\/a> we’ve seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, for the very first time, an ROG phone is rated IP68, probably because there are no cooling vents. The company has also added wireless charging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, it is clear that ASUS doesn’t want to limit the series to only gaming-focused customers, and is going all out this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n That said, it\u2019s not like ASUS has skipped out on all the cool gaming features. Besides the capacitive triggers, you are also getting an enhanced cooling system and RGB logo on the back, and while it may be optional, let\u2019s not forget the AeroActive Cooler X fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\nASUS ROG Phone 8 specs<\/h2>\n\n\n
