ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro review: The gaming phone is all grown up


The ROG Phone 8 Pro has a much more mainstream design, and you still get all the gaming-focused features that made its predecessors great.

The ROG Phone 8 Pro has an all-new design that brings it in line with mainstream devices, and you get overhauled cameras with a brand-new telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, IP68 ingress protection, and wireless charging. While earlier models in the series had plenty to offer, the aggressive design with etched lines and massive batteries meant that they were only a viable option for enthusiast gamers — that isn't the case this year. I get to use all flagship devices released over the course of the year, and where ASUS differentiates itself is the optimization; the ROG Phone 8 Pro lets you play a wider selection of titles at 120fps and beyond, and it does not throttle even during extended gaming sessions.
