Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Abhik Sengupta]()
Verdict
The ASUS ROG 8 Pro, with its revamped cameras and design, definitely gains an edge and can be considered by even non-gamer customers if performance is a priority. However, at its core, it is still a gaming device, and best suited for hardcore gamers. Its AirTriggers and external accessories truly make the whole gaming experience worthwhile, perhaps next to none. Its cameras are decent at best and could use improvements in terms of detailing and native editing options.
Pros
- Clean UI and Snappy performance
- AirTriggers for console-like experience
- AniMe Vision lights
- Solid battery backup
Cons
- Bulky and slippery
- Limited AI features
Design and display
+
ASUS claims that the ROG 8 Pro series features the "biggest" revamp in its history, and rightfully so. It weighs 225 grams and measures 8.9mm thick, making it roughly 9 percent lighter and 15 percent slimmer than the ASUS ROG Phone 7. The rear camera module has been shrunk and sits neatly in the top right corner. The back offers a satin-like finish and fewer contours compared to last-gen, providing a subtle appearance even for non-gamers. The black variant in particular looks chic, but there's a white option as well, which looks equally attractive.

As mentioned, the ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro draws power from Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The unit I am reviewing offers 24GB of RAM and 1TB of USF 4.0 storage, priced at Rs 1,19,999, which might seem like an overkill, both in terms of price and memory. You may consider the base variant priced at Rs 94,999, which offers 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The latter will be sufficient for even the most hardcore gamers.

The ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro has a special focus on cameras, which wasn't the biggest priority of older ROG Phones. The rear camera system houses a 50MP OIS-enabled camera, a 32MP telephoto camera with OIS and 3X optical zoom, and a 13MP ultra-wide camera. The front gets a 32MP camera.

Battery

One of the reasons why the ROG Phone 8 Pro got slimmer and lighter this year is because of a relatively smaller battery unit. It carries a 5,500mAh battery instead of a 6,000mAh unit. Mind you, even a 5,500mAh battery is a highly respectable size for smartphones.
