THERMAL

GameCool 8

Despite its sleeker form factor, the ROG Phone 8 Pro houses a revolutionary precision thermal structure. GameCool 8 adopts our groundbreaking 360^° SoC Cooling System Gen 2 design, resulting in a 22% improvement⁴ in thermal efficiency. And the latest AeroActive Cooler X is even more powerful for extra performance — up to another 20% of thermal efficiency!

Rapid-Cooling Conductor

ROG engineers have discovered the ultimate passive cooling solution. Our 360^° SoC Cooling System Gen 2 — places a Rapid-Cooling Conductor precisely between the SoC and the metal near the back cover, so the heat is dissipated evenly from all the thermal layers. And when the AeroActive Cooler X is attached, the Rapid-Cooling Conductor ‘s location exactly matches the place where the thermoelectric cooling chip touches the phone, so the chipset is directly and efficiently cooled.

CAMERAS
                  Pro-level camera 
                  The ROG Phone 8 Pro has an advanced tri-camera system for endless possibilities. Capture amazing ultrawide shots, zoom in on distant objects, or record super-steady videos.

50 MP IMX890 Main camera
                              The main camera delivers crystal clear images with the latest 50 MP IMX890 Sony image sensor. The 24 mm8 wide lens allows perfect street snaps.
The lossless 2x zoom mode also turns it into the equivalent of a 50 mm8 prime lens, making it perfect for portrait and food photography.

6-Axis Hybrid Gimbal Stabilizer 3.0
                              The main camera has an incredible 6-Axis Hybrid Gimbal Stabilizer 3.0 for even smoother videos and shake-free photos on the move with ±3 degrees movement correction. Both standard and portrait shooting modes are now supported by this advanced stabilization, making it perfect for low-light photography. 
The ROG Phone 8 Pro also takes video stability to the next level. Its hardware anti-shake OIS and upgraded EIS software algorithm — which uses the gyro to detect movement — allow dynamic adjustment of the field of view to always keep your video rock-steady.

3x Telephoto camera with Optical IS
                              For the first time ever, the ROG Phone 8 Pro features a 32 MP9 telephoto camera that unlocks the ability to capture distant objects. This 3x telephoto camera has built-in Optical Image Stabilization to ensure crisp and sharp results, and it supports Night Photography mode for amazing low-light shots.
The ROG Phone 8 Pro also uses HyperClarity technology using unprocessed (RAW) files to preserve every detail, giving you clearer images even when you zoom in close at 10x and up to 30x zoom.

0.7x 13 MP Ultrawide camera
                              The 13 MP ultrawide camera on the ROG Phone 8 Pro is perfect for shooting amazing landscape photos, or portraits in narrow space.
It uses a freeform surface modeling optical design and the latest algorithms to reduce lens distortion and produce stunning yet natural images.

32 MP RGBW Ultrawide selfies
                              The front camera has an ultrawide 90° FoV that’s perfect for group selfies. You can choose between a 1x standard field of view or a 0.7x ultra-wide angle for different purposes.
Not only that, but with the additional white pixels on its 32 MP RGBW sensor to capture more light, images are clean with less noise even in low light.

AI PHOTOGRAPHY

Pro-level computational photography

The ROG Phone 8 Pro uses the latest computational photography algorithms and software features to enhance image quality even further. It’s magical!

AI Object Sense

AI Object Sense divides the image into multiple sections — sky, sea and sand for example — and optimizes the contrast and saturation separately, producing vivid yet natural-looking results.

Quick Shot

Seize the moment with a double press on volume key: the camera captures three photos instantly, so you don’t miss any important moments.

Light Trail mode

This mode uses multi-frame image stacking with AI to create breathtaking long-exposure handheld shots.

Semantic Search in Gallery App

By adopting multimodal learning, the ROG Phone 8 Pro can use natural language for photo search. For example: “Show me the sunset photos I took in Tokyo.”, and the system will find the best matches for you.

OZO Audio*

With OZO Audio technology you can choose to eliminate wind noise for crystal-clear recordings, or capture an immersive, high-fidelity 3D surround-sound experience.

DISPLAY
                  165 Hz AMOLED LTPO display
                  The ROG Phone 8 Pro is equipped with a brand-new 6.78” E6 AMOLED (flexible) panel that supports adaptive refresh rates to reduce power consumption. You can also select a refresh rate of up to 165 Hz for smooth gaming, and the touch sampling rate reaches an impressive 720 Hz for instant response.
Peak brightness is now boosted to 2500 nits, allowing you to game or watch movies even in direct sunlight with no problems. Additionally, it boasts a Delta-E < 1 color accuracy for superb visuals.
By reducing the bezels, the ROG Phone 8 Pro achieves a 94% display-to-body ratio. The panel is protected by Gorilla® Glass Victus™2 for enhanced durability.

Adaptive refresh rates
                      Benefiting from LTPO technology, adaptive refresh rate can significantly reduce power consumption. When the refresh rate setting is set to Auto, the display can automatically adjust between 1 to 120 Hz, depending on the current task. 
For example, it can boost up to 120 Hz while gaming, and it automatically drops down to 30 Hz when you watch movies. It can even reduce to under 10 Hz when you are simply scrolling through still photos to save battery power.

AUDIO
                  Spatial sound 
                  Dirac Virtuo™ for Headphone brings spatial sound to all your headphones — wired, Bluetooth® or USB-C — so you can enjoy a theater-like experience while gaming, movie streaming or listening to music. By adopting the latest AI Noise Cancelation10 technology, unwanted background noise can be instantly removed to keep your voice sounding crystal clear.
The ROG Phone 8 Pro also supports Qualcomm® aptX™ adaptive and aptX Lossless to ensure super-low-latency high-fidelity Bluetooth audio.

With the ROG Phone 8 Pro, Asus has completely overhauled its gamer smartphone, both in terms of design and equipment. Admittedly, the more compact format and total waterproofing of the casing have come at the price of some slight sacrifices. But the arrival of wireless charging and a telephoto lens quickly make up for them. Not to mention a large battery that provides long autonomy, regardless of the type of application used.

Asus gaming smartphones are now far more versatile than in the past.

9/10

5/5

With its ROG Phone 8, Asus sets the tone right from the start of the year with an extremely powerful and particularly versatile smartphone. It's quite simple: the manufacturer has improved on virtually all the points of criticism of the ROG Phone 7. Better photography, true waterproofing, more controlled heating, more sober design, wireless charging... Perfection doesn't exist, but Asus is getting closer with the ROG Phone 8.
