ASUS ROG Phone 8 series leaks surface: Unveiling specs and design ahead of January launch

A recent disclosure by Windows Report has brought to light extensive details about the ROG Phone 8 series.

This includes the full design and a comprehensive specification sheet. It’s important to note, however, that these are not confirmed by ASUS and should be regarded with a degree of skepticism.

The ROG Phone 8 lineup is said to offer a choice of three colours: Black, Light Grey, and Dark Grey. Each variant is expected to feature a unique dual-tone colour scheme.

Notably, the camera module has undergone a redesign, now sporting a square shape with a distinctively trimmed bottom right edge.

Both models are anticipated to house a 5,500mAh battery, supporting Quick Charge 5.0 and PD Charging.

In terms of software, the series is slated to run on Android 14 with ROG UI, offering a seamless and user-friendly experience. Other notable features include NFC, an IP68 rating, WiFi 6/6E, and Bluetooth 5.3.
