Honestly bezzels are kind of beneficial for a gaming phone....more restful for finger placement without sacrificing screen view
Their previous design and their powerful front firing speakers are what gamers actually buy over the mainstream middle holepunch + flexible oled combo. Also, their 2+4 update will definitely put them into their grave. Most flagship killer made by Chinese Brands already giving at least 3+4 updates (4+5 update on Redmi K60 Ultra which is awesome). That is also why Black Shark 5 series didn't get too much traction in sales since they adapted the same design.
I bought the ROG 6D (430$ steal price) for the same reason I stated above, even though there are number of offerings that might even top this phone for the same price.
True front firing speaker is way better than this design
Make it recognizable like Xperia phones and they're good
True. This feels like a downgrade tbh. The money spent on this can be used on the new Oppo x7 ultra
I agree. This phone is a joke. I mean come on, this design is not what gamers are looking for. I have ROG Phone 6 Pro and I though I might replace it but definitely not with the ROG8. I just hope either they make an ultra version later on which would look better or I hope the 9 will be back to a proper Gaming look.
@@kerekerdo1for you it might be a joke but Rog phone series sales are not good.
Video is very calming without no bs background music .. keep it up ash
Surprised that they decided to get rid of the bezels. Was there any difference as to the difference between the two front firing speakers compared to this setup?
I was about to upgrade to rog 8 from rog 6 ultimate. But the punch hole camera, speaker downgrade, battery downgrade. Is a deal breaker for me. If they continue with these designs on their new phone, i will look for another gaming phone. Rog phone sells because it is a gaming phone not because it has good camera.
Thanks for calling them out on the update policy ash!! Very honest and takes loads of integrity mate!
is there any software need to mirror mobile screen to laptop? 3:30
"Technology isn't there yet", yes, I agree on that BUT, this is still a gaming phone and the purpose of an under display selfie cam is to have a full bezeless display without any interruptions. Especially for gaming phones it's beneficial.
What Asus did with the ROG8 series is mixed it's Zenfone line cause it's not selling well due to the competition let's be honest. Glad I switched from my Rog Phone 6 to the new RedMagic 8SPro recently.
Other cons:
- Lower battery 5500mAh (from 6k mAh)
- No more true dual front facing speakers
also the new aero cooler does not have a sub woofer compared to the rog 7
@@BabyBoyJr. Damn, that's really dissapointing. I'm still happy though with my RM8Pro and ROG6D.
Getting less impressed with Asus offering yearly
people will look redmagic with lesser price
What is your opinion on the audio sound when listening to music? I know that you showed a clip comparing the seven with the eight, but in your own words, what's the sound difference from the front facing speakers to the new setup of speakers? Thanks.
I wish phone reveiwers focused on the speakers more im honestly upset that they are not front facing stereo and instead one of them is on the side. Ruins the quality when holding the phone.
@obicop6924I wound up buying the 8 Pro and I like it. Love the smaller size look and feel. And, Android 14 is nice too, but I'm not sure of what 14 offers that 13 doesn't other than how certain features look, like the accessibility home screen icons. As far as the speakers go, they are not as good as the usual front facing speakers and that is, partially, because the top speaker is front facing while the bottom one is bottom facing, You don't hear music playing out towards your face like previous ROG models. It doesn't sound bad at all, but the fact the one speaker is front facing and the other is not does affect how the music sounds when compared to two front facing speakers. Two front facing speakers just sounds better without a doubt. I sill enjoy how the music & movies sound, but I know for most, they're concerned how gaming audio sounds. I'm not a gamer. I'm a music lover. I will likely keep the ROG 8 Pro and then sell it if ROG puts out a new model with two front facing speakers.
This is definitely the most non-gaming gaming phone!
Ahaha..yeah my 1st impression upon seeing this phone..looks like normal regular smartphones out there but with trigger button..but i think it got some charm to it..
And no good cameras or software updates
@@mikiswordbreaker4805 It's the Nothing Phone (1) done correctly!
The customisable LEDs on the back are sick tho. Maybe put your name on it or spell something fun for all to see. 😅
@@nabamtitung It's a gaming phone, my dude... 🤷🏻♂️ Why would you expect a gamer to give a single shit about cameras?
Does it has the same amplify speaker form last year ROG phone 7 please I need know
Great unboxing and hand on review as always Ash bro
Can the telephoto and ultrawide camera record in 4k60 FPS?
3:49 I feel so different sound quality between them,for you which one sounds better? Thank you
Great video!
Btw, 9:25 what's the name of the game?
@C4ETech bro how to import mobiles from another countries let me know😊
Nice unboxing. Thx. Please someone give me the name of the game at 10:45?
Is their Rog 8 ultimate coming?
Does it support auto call recorder ?
When is this launching in India ?
What is the name of first game you showed in this video
All the changes are welcome, just 2 things I didn't like:
1. The punch hole cam
2. No telephoto in base variant (only defferentiater should have been animatrix and the increase ram-rom)
Just discovered your channel, amazing video man! I'm going to get the base variant once it's out. On a personal note would you suggest to but from VS or directly from Asus online?
@@rayquazahere8529 so sorry to hear that India variant won't have telephoto. is the base variant even going to come out in India? I'm asking as on the asus India website only 2 versions of pro variant are there
8:51. Thought you were going for the moto chop-chop
Hey Ash you have us the first review of ROG phone this year 😊 Highly Appreciated 👍
Cool 👍
@@C4ETech Hello ash did they remove the glass back from the 8 and 8 pro
@@C4ETech can u tell which game u played ?
@@C4ETechand where to buy Rog phone
Nice video as always. Crisp and clear for a short video like this 👍🏻
Mann.. Main Camera is very stable 😮
Pricing is one thing and Asus should consider it and be competitive. Aahh.. Thats not gonna happen anytime soon 😒
Even Apple 🍏 is serious about Indian market then why not Asus..??
Is there any word on Zenfone 11..???
That phone is good for capcut editing?
That back led display is so cool it's better than nothing phone back bro
Ip68 is a go for me I'll be using as a daily for a while & not have to worry is a major deal. Eveything els is icing on the cake 🔥
This looks sick!!!! Defo gon buy this.🔥🔥🔥
I feel they should launch the zenfones in India too. Would've been a hit. Atleast I would've bought one.
Same
Same broda
Same
Finally this beast have some camera upgrade 😍
This is what I looking for!
Great video... A little suggestion while comparing speakers please directly cut from one phone to other because it gives a more clear difference in audio....hope you will consider this....😅
noted mate... will do it going forwards.. its a good idea
Do these comparisons too pls
K70 vs K60 Ultra
K70 vs Ace3
HyperOS vs ColorOS
Ace3 vs Realme GT Neo 6
9:30 which game is that?
Well done ash 👏 👍 🙌
Thank you 😁
Big Like 👍
When can I buy this phone?
Uber-cool design 👌🏻
4:02 I felt like Rog 8 pro has slightly noisy speaker output compared to Rog 7 ultimate
C4etech Ash is on fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This looks soo boring and plain . I like minimalistic design but man this just looks lazy to me . The previous blue on white looked so sick now it looks like a cheap midrange phone
I hope they go back to their old design....like the bezels on both sides for both FRONT FACING SPEAKERS, which is really great and also the front camera....
Whats your take on speakers which has better one ???
Seems like the ROG 8 is still actually pretty good. 7 has slightly more bass but other than that they are very similar sounding.
Bro I'm loving this phone. as a gamer i dont really use the camera that much but the Ip68 and the back LED is sooo sick. And i bought it for Php 50000 around 900-1000 dollars. I was about to buy the s24 ultra but i dont really need the camera so i bought this instead
But the camera of rog is comparable to the iphone 15 pro max and s24 ultra. I just watched it in many videos here
@@arjay3733 yes it's actually comparable as long as you're not someone who make a big deal out of small details it's almost the same and as a casual user of the camera of the phone it's already good enough
@@kitsune2712 you're right. I hate some reviewers who are finding very small details just to say something negative in the camera of a gaming phone, though when we see the results, it's comparable to the standard flaghips and even sometimes it is better.
As Gamer I don't car about camera 📸, it's for games 🎯
Price?
Finally a design that i can really like and keep for a long time, seriously one of the best phone designs i have ever seen in the past years.
used ROG Phone 2 for 3.5 years ; one of my best mobile phone experiences till date! ❤
been using mine for 4 years and thinking on upgrading to ROG 8...but with reduced battery size and no front facing speakers..I'll pass
@@carranz35get the 7 instead then.
@@zajko3113 I want to get the latest flagship but also want an upgrade on the battery, still waiting for other alternatives
damn, wish they woulda stuck to their roots for the pro version and released a mainstream non pro one
Hey Ash, how are you doing buddy? How much time do u tend to live in China?
What game he was playing on tht mobile expect asphalt i want to know:)
So is it better than the redmagic 9 pro
Hey Ash, which is the best of the best camera phone till now? Price doesn't matter ❤❤❤❤❤
Ash is that a valornt beta or a you tube vid 😅
Hai bro 💖💖.
Naanu vaaga try panran but mudila 😤😤..
Nice video bro 😁😁😁😁
This phone is more of a Mainstream Flagship than a Gaming phone, if you want a proper gaming phone made by ROG go get the ROG 7 Ultimate instead, but if you want a true flagship with somewhat a gaming features in it buy this one. (Bet ROG 7 Ultimate have a much lower price now which is a steal for sure)
4:46 what is that game?
Its looks like valorant mobile
with such high price of pro in 1300-1600$, I will buy nubia redmagic + nubia z60 ultra which together are better for gaming + non-gaming purposes. or simply nubia z60 ultra plus nubia fan to cool it for 5-% stability
Huawei mate 20x 4g ❤
Bro I want Nubia z60 ultra
Looking good tho
Full hd or 2k ??
I think the same thing with Ash also. Really feel ROG not special anymore
Beautiful Asus phone ❤
Downgrades:
1) Only 2 physical buttons on the cooler vs 4 physical buttons on ROG 7 below
2) No Kunai Gamepad controller unlike the previous rog phones.
Rog 2 RoG 3 design 😌❤️
Antutu score Sir?
It's 2.2m
Wowww thinking about changing my OnePlus 10 Pro in September this year and didn't know by which device: Pixel are awful aesthetically speaking, Nothing Phone 2 not good camera wise and design becoming outdated, no OnePlus 12 for me neither, Vivo X100 Pro neither, no Oppo anymore released in Europe, ZenFone 10 not good enough camera wise and plastic back not premium enough and too big bezels and too small form factor, Yeah this beautiful masterpiece of Rog Phone 8 or 8 Pro depending on my budget will be my next smartphone ! 💘💘💘
Battary Life?
I so wamt asus to launch zenfone lineup in india. Because there are no-more small phones left in android.
The camera looks so much better than iqoo 12
The Asus ROG Zenfone 1
Who the hell gave the Indian version a really slow 33w charger instead of the faster 65w charger from international markets?
I love its design this time. The back side LED looks awesome ❤
Looks damn beautiful, I love it
this could have been Zenfone 11
Red magic is better I believe
I have 6D, but..
This is definately the most non gaming but gaming phone.
Sir i want rog8 phone
Now that's what I called a practical gaming phone 📱
Now that there is the new Rog8, when will we be able to have the privilege of natively playing tripleAAA titles, such as for iPhone15pro, RE4, RE village, etc.? Make contact with the most important software houses and show its strength in terms of gameplay. Otherwise it makes no sense to take a lot of money and play crazy games!!!
Thanks Asus.. I'm now moving to iqoo12
Vivo x100 pro
Ans now the speakers arent as nice
Funfact: neither gamers nor normal users will buy this. Gamers can still go with iphone and iqoo neo series and regular users being regular users wont find this close to flagship device like Samsung s23 ultra. Not to mention, the price is really high actually
But if you want a gaming beast with good camera, this flagship is the best choice. If you prioritize camera with balanced performance gameplay, you can choose iphone 15 pro max or s24 ultra.
Here's a comment for the precious algo.
#30Squad
So it became ordinary phone
Either Samsung galaxy S xyz ultra is not a flagship nor apple iphone xyz.
They're just a Big giant that manipulates and controls the market.
In my opinion, this ROG phone 8 pro is the absolute best phone Asus ever made so far, it looks so beautiful, so clean, and not too crazy, besides, Asus has done a great for combining a normal phone design made for average people with a dedicated gaming phone design made for gamers, so it's like 2 in 1 and I really really love it.
If you take the Rog 7, and you disable all the animation and extra gimmicks, and use it solely as a phone to whatsapp/browse/call/message with no gaming whatsoever, how long can the battery survive for? 2 days? more? less? Has anyone tried this?
3days easily
M using rog3
Asus is smocking something funny it would also explain their weird rog phone 8 video
2:53
which one is the best for gaming
1- vivo iQOO 12 Pro
2- ZTE nubia Red Magic 9 Pro
3- Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro
ROG 8 pro

thank you bro
@@ALSAIBANI welcome bro. Also it has now flagship camera
❤❤
yeah, 2+4 is totally unacceptable. 3+4 is the bare minimum.
It looks less ASUS-ie.
I ain't gonna pay 1 lakh INR for a phone that comes with 1080p display with 2 os updates only... Phone definitely looks like an upgrade... But still not good enough for its pricing
1080 and 1440 display almost the same
@@arjay3733 yeah but 2 os updates and average camera 🫠
