Unboxing ASUS' ROG Phone 8 Pro Edition with a review of the gaming performance and everyday smartphone experience. We tour all of the ROG Phone 8 Pro's game features and compare vs the regular model, including in-depth Genshin Impact testing!
2024 has only just begun and already the Red Magic 9 Pro has stiff competition! Yet another Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 gaming mobile has arrived, with a more compact design, upgraded cameras and the usual excellent features (plus a few new ones). The ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro, and regular ROG Phone 8, both boast impressive performance and cooling tech. The likes of Genshin Impact play beautifully, although it's not quite the perfect gaming experience.
Note that this Edition model comes with a bundled ICE cooler, as you can see in this unboxing. Older versions of the cooler accessory are not supported here on the ROG Phone 8 Pro.
Check out my other gaming phone reviews and let us know what you think of the ROG Phone 8 Pro down below.

@furioustester4056 5 месяцев назад

Hmm, i love the new look, much more discrete, but it removes the aeroactive portal and colour on the rear display, I feel like the colour is fine but i feel the aeroactive portal kinda made it unique, and theres definetly a way to keep the IP68 water resistance with the portal. I appreciate the smaller but more powerful cooler, the 7 ultimate cooler is really big, and i actually loved the subwoofer, which i dont think is in the new one. I also think they couldve kept the dual front facing speakers aswell.

@magpiefirefly 5 месяцев назад

Looks like the phone for me. Expensive as hell, but you don't get IP68 and air triggers anywhere else. Performance like that will be amazing for emulation, going to have a great time loading up the thing with all my favorites. I wanted to get into a dedicated, standalone emulation device, but it was just never practical; this would be perfect. Great battery for the easy stuff like GBA, more than sufficient for the hard stuff like PS2 and Gamecube, and can play all the android games out there too.

Compare the speaker volume. I can listen to podcasts in the shower with my 5s. Also, I don't like the idea of covering the speakers or having to cup my hand like iphones or samsung crap.
