Recently, ASUS ROG officially announced the unveiling of the ROG Phone 8 at an event scheduled on January 8 at CES in Las Vegas and will be launched on January 16th in China. Given the company's teaser campaign featuring blind camera tests, it suggests that the global launch event will likely occur around the same time.
Now the images and comprehensive specifications for both the ROG Phone 8 and the ROG Phone 8 Pro have emerged. These unveil a fresh rear camera layout, featuring a prominent "8K Ultra HD" label. Notably, there's an illuminated ROG logo with RGB lights and a departure from the usual PMOLED display found in the Ultimate model. The reduction in bezel size is noticeable, attributed to the adoption of a punch-hole screen design.
