The ROG 8 series devices run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset

After several leaks about Asus’s upcoming flagship gaming devices, the Taiwanese company has finally unveiled the Asus ROG Phone 8 series.

The new smartphone, which is essentially a combination of the Zenfone and the ROG Phone, brings a decent camera to the ROG phone for the first time.

Both the Asus ROG Phone 8 and ROG Phone 8 Pro feature a triple camera setup with a 50-megapixel f/1.9 main camera, a 32-megapixel f/2.4 telephoto camera and a 13-megapixel f/2.2 ultrawide camera.

The devices can record video at 8K at up to 24fps, 4K at 30 or 60fps, 1080p at 30fps, 60, 120 or 240fps, and 720p at 480fps. The ROG Phone 8 and the ROG Phone 8 Pro also have an identical 32-megapixel f/2.5 selfie camera under a hole punch. The field-of-view of the selfie camera has been increased from 73-degrees to 90-degrees, which means it can now take better group selfies.

The ROG Phone 8 is here, and it’s faster than ever.
