After the complete redesign shown in previous teasers, the ROG Phone 8 will give in to the look popularized by competitors and will rely on extremely thin and symmetrical edges around the display, housing the front camera in a centralized hole. The side effect of the change is that the front stereo audio system, one of the line’s biggest differentiators, has been ditched.

The launch is likely to retain stereo audio, but will use a speaker on the bottom paired with the call speaker on the top. The change is not evidence of deterioration in quality: renowned audio models, such as the Galaxy S23 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro Maxadopt a similar scheme, but it should reduce immersion, considering that the exits have changed positioning.

ASUS also published a teaser on the Chinese social network Weibo, in which it confirms that the ROG Phone 8 will be the first gaming phone to have IP68 certification. The appearance equates the debut smartphone to traditional devices and represents a major upgrade compared to the IP54 protection of previous generations, as well as being a significant advantage over other models in the category.

With a more sober and compact design, the ROG Phone 8 line The new items are expected to arrive in stores processing with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3accompanied by up to 24 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of storage space, in addition to the 165 Hz AMOLED screen and the battery, which would be curiously reduced to 5,500 mAh, compared to the 6,000 mAh of previous generations.

The biggest change would be to the cameras, which would come with a similar set to that of the Zenfone 10 including modern technologies such as Gimbal stabilization and an unprecedented telephoto lens, finally solving one of the biggest criticisms leveled at the family.
