Asus’s Chinese division recently confirmed that it will unveil the ROG Phone 8 series of gaming smartphones on Jan. 16 in China. Rumors surrounding the series suggest that it will not be entirely gaming-focused like the predecessor models. The leaked renders of the ROG Phone 8 series and its specifications indicate a toned-down design with more emphasis on camera specifications, a departure from previous models. Today, the brand released the following teaser to reveal one of the camera capabilities of the ROG Phone 8 lineup.
ROG Phone 8 to offer gimbal stabilization
In a Weibo post, Asus stated, “Concerned about shaky hands while shooting videos? The ROG Phone 8 series comes equipped with an anti-shake gimbal to address this issue.”A recent report leaked all the major specs of the ROG Phone 8 and the ROG Phone 8 Pro.
It is speculated that the ROG Phone 8 Pro will arrive with an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 primary camera, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 32-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. However, there is no information about the camera specifications of the ROG Phone 8. It is likely to have a similar camera setup, minus the telephoto camera. With ample time remaining for the launch, Asus is expected to reveal more details about the ROG Phone 8 series through new teasers in the coming days.
As per reports, the ROG Phone 8 series will sport a new display design featuring a punch-hole screen with a centred punch-hole. It will have a 6.78-inch FHD+ 165Hz AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, a 5,500mAh battery with 65W fast charging support, a 32-megapixel front camera, and an IP68-rated chassis.
The ROG Phone 8 may arrive with 12 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 256 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. On the other hand, the Pro variant may be released in configurations such as 16 GB RAM + 512 GB storage and 24 GB RAM + 1 TB storage. The series will run on ROG UI-based Android 14.
Before arriving in China, the ROG Phone 8 series will debut at the CES 2024 tech event on Jan. 8.
