Gaming Moves Into the Field of Daily Life

The ROG Phone, a leading gaming smartphone, updates its features every time a new model is released and possesses the highest level of specs at the time of release.
Because the specs are so high, you can use them without updating every time a new one is released, but those of you who love new things probably cannot resist.
The ROG Phone 8 series is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, the highest-tier SoC currently available.
It features up to 24GB of main memory and up to 1TB of storage, putting gaming PCs to shame.
And, cooling down these high-spec parts, which are vulnerable to heat, is the GameCool 8 Cooling System.
Furthermore, by attaching the AeroActive Cooler X, an external cooler unit accessory sold separately, the temperature of the back surface can be reduced by up to 36 degrees.

The Samsung 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a resolution of 2,400×1080 supports a maximum refresh rate of 165Hz.
With built-in dual speakers and the pressure-sensitive AirTrigger buttons that show their power in landscape gaming, it remains at the forefront of gaming smartphones.
First in the Series to Support Qi Standards

The specs are just like a game console, but it remains a smartphone.
And for the ROG Phone 8 series, which has also evolved in its ease of use for daily life, it now supports Qi standard wireless charging!
Furthermore, it is an impeccable configuration featuring high-definition zoom and image stabilization via a 6-axis gimbal stabilizer!
AniMe Vision is installed on the back of the ROG Phone 8 Pro and ROG Phone 8 Pro Edition bodies, allowing you to display your favorite animations.
