In today’s digital world, smartphones have evolved far beyond just calling or texting. For many users—especially gamers—a phone is now a serious entertainment and gaming machine. With that in mind, ROG has launched its new gaming flagship, the ROG Phone 8 Pro, built specifically to meet the demands of high-end mobile gaming and beyond.
Strong Design with a Premium Feel
The ROG Phone 8 Pro is designed to look and feel different from regular smartphones. Its dimensions (163.8 x 76.8 x 8.9 mm) and weight (225g) make it solid in hand, while premium materials add to its durability.
It features Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front, a glass back, and an aluminum frame that gives it both protection and style. The phone is also IP68 rated, which means it’s resistant to dust and water—great for everyday durability.
For gamers, the device includes 341 Mini-LEDs on the back that can be customized and programmed. It also has pressure-sensitive gaming triggers for precise in-game control.
Brilliant Display for Gaming and Content
At the front, you get a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display that supports 1 billion colors and a smooth 165Hz refresh rate. With HDR10 support and 2500 nits peak brightness, visuals look stunning in all lighting conditions, whether you’re gaming or watching movies.
Protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, the screen is built to handle regular wear and tear without sacrificing visual clarity.
Powerful Performance for Every Task
At its core, the ROG Phone 8 Pro runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4nm) processor. It’s paired with an octa-core CPU and Adreno 750 GPU, making it perfect for high-end gaming, smooth multitasking, and fast app performance.
The phone runs on Android 14 and features UFS 4.0 storage technology, offering fast data transfer speeds and efficient storage performance. Whether you’re playing graphics-heavy games or editing videos, the experience remains lag-free and responsive.

You also get wireless charging and reverse charging, making the phone more versatile. For gamers, this means longer play sessions without constantly reaching for the charger.
Great Sound and Modern Connectivity
Audio quality is a key part of any gaming experience. This phone features stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and Hi-Res 32-bit/384kHz audio support for crystal-clear sound.
For connectivity, it supports the latest standards like Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 360° NFC, and comes with dual USB Type-C ports—useful for charging and gaming at the same time.
