ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro design

The recent renders hint that the ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro has a centrally positioned punch-hole cutout, alongside narrow bezels surrounding the display and flat edges. The handset’s boxy chassis, a common feature in current flagship devices, incorporates the volume rocker and power button on the right edge.

At the bottom, there’s a 3.5mm audio jack, USB Type-C port, SIM tray section, and a microphone. At the rear, a square-ish module houses the triple camera sensors and an LED flash, with the ‘ROG’ text positioned at the bottom of the module. The phone also showcases distinctive LED dots on the back panel, potentially customisable to display specific logos.

• The renders suggest the design of the ROG Phone 8 is almost identical to the standard ROG Phone 7.
• The renders show the phone in Black colour but there might be other options at launch.
• The ROG Phone 8 Pro will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
• ASUS ROG Phone 8 series is set to launch on January 16th in China. The lineup might include multiple models: the vanilla ROG Phone 8, ROG Phone 8 Pro, and probably an Ultimate model as well. The phones have made multiple appearances online, hinting at us on what to expect. Now, MySmartPrice has exclusively shared the renders of the ROG Phone 8 Pro and this reveals the complete design.
