It is still faulty product. Cheaper yes, but lack of some features for worldwide users. Lacks warranty and in case of problems must be send to China for repair. For me it is scam and worthless device.

    1080 x 2400 pixels and 388 pixel density is what's found on sub $300 phones. This phone is grossly overpriced.

        Kevin, 22 Feb 2024Your money, your decision. I'd rather buy from officia... moreThank you sir. Same goes. I respect your opinion too. Im not an advocate of global rom flashed phones. But from history, China,HK,Taiwan tech phones tend to have the superior version and releases a watered down, inferior global versions. My posts in gsmarena are mostly on huawei mate 20x (yes the opinions are still very much alive for a phone released in 2018) i am typing on my mate 20x 8gb ram 256gb rom (CN flashed global rom) sold my vanilla 6gb ram 128gb global version because the chinese seems to be given the more "maxed" out version per say. And been using that 7.2" behemoth up till now. No problems with motherboard.

        I bought an oppo find x 6 pro (released in china only) and sure as hell live up to its reputation of being top 5 in dxomark. Oh and theres my global version asus rog phone 5s pro, that global version, the air triggers and motherboard failed within months of purchase. Thank goodness i was able to sell it off to someone willing to repair that junk. So story short. Ive got not issues with CN version or CN set global rom flashed. Lucky? Maybe, 3 phones so far and none gave me headaches and are cheaper while being superior. And ive never bought phones from Aliexpress. Wouldnt know how theyd turn out. Got mine from reputable online company dealing with phones only. Personally requestes them to flash global rom for my rog 8 pro purchase. Just my 2 cents =)

            Samsung should start putting 512GB default on their Ultra (and maybe Plus) models next year, especially with the amount of money you're paying for.

              before purchasing i knew what a "china mainland only" phone feels like. Oppo find x 6 pro for example, only meant for china mainland use, other than chinese bloatwares (which can be easily deleted), firmware updates are as easy as 1,2,3 done manually and works like a charm. Much better than the "Global" version phones out there (dont be easily swayed by media, western ones especially)

              Got my phone's airway bill. Started off from china, then transited in taiwan (Asus is Taiwan based). Was told the guys in taiwan will have to open the box to flash the global rom and repacked to send to my country. Chinese scam or taiwanese scam?

              Anyways dont worry bout me, i saved additional USD400 in my pockets, the phone rocks like the global version (my friend has a global one cant tell the difference except for the logo at the back). Manual updates are easy to do. Lack of network bands are almost zero to none in my country. Repair shops here are more than ready to assist as most of them do flashing of roms too. Was even able to register asus warranty in the website. So all corners covered on my end and usd400 to buy another phone. Hehehe =P

Tencent versions of ROG Phone 8 are limited and intended for China mainland only. They lack some network bands and OTA software upgrade. There will be also problem with repairing in service - some workshops refuse to repair Chinese origin phones.

                  AimeDuSable, 19 Feb 2024Avoid trying to remove the buttons with a razor blade and y... moreThank you for the advice but it's more of a principle of the matter, if anything. There have been situations where buttons on phones can fall out by accident (whether it be dropped or something else), and that's not really a problem since you can usually put them back in and not have to worry about it. Not with this particular phone though, if the buttons fall out (which doesn't seem that hard to do), you can't even put them back in properly. It's toast.

                  That shows a real and genuine design flaw that I honestly couldn't believe they messed up with, but it's true, they really did mess up that badly on the design of the buttons. I don't think I've ever come across any other phone that has this stupid design flaw, the ROG 8 Pro is by in and by far the first one I've seen.

"Only dust and water resistant"? How about the camera? The software? This phone is a lot better in those aspects than that whatever redmagic thing you have

                        Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra costs the same but it has only 12gb of ram with same spechs or less, for phone in 2024 year it feels like a big downgrade and it costs a lot.

                          Macbeth, 16 Feb 2024Okay, I can excuse this phone for having removable buttons,... moreOkay but you're not using a knife to purposely take the buttons out. Who the hell does that on a 1,5k phone

                            Okay, I can excuse this phone for having removable buttons, many others do. But the fact that with this particular phone, if the buttons fall out, you can't even put them back in properly??!!! That is a very huge dealbreaker and is what's ruined this phone for me completely. Seriously.

                              Anonymous, 13 Feb 2024Most I am willing to pay for this phone at max spec is $900... moreI agree. That and it's way too pricey, although with the extra USB slots there must be a peripheral that adds SD card storage.

                                Most I am willing to pay for this phone at max spec is $900. Am I out of touch? Wouldn't mind less storage if it had a micro sd slot.

                                      Ive received my 512GB CN set Global Rom flashed which comes with aero cooler x for USD900. And oh boy. I felt like i hit a home run. Where im from, the Global version cost USD1200 and the cooler x an additional USD110. I literally saved USD400 by taking the risk of purchasing the global rom flashed set. Works like a charm, the only downside, theres no OTA firmware updates. But its so easy to download the firmware manually from the official website. Win win for me. Coming from rog 5s pro, id say i made a good upgrade.

                                        I have this phone now. I ordered it from Amazon. It was rather expensive. I love it though. Beautiful sreen. Great size. Light. Battery is great. Charging is super quick. Its One Plus snappy when using.

                                        Pictures though are horrible if the lightning is not perfect or not in the day very dark. Videos look the same. Coming from a Pixel 8 Pro it is tough to go from it to this. Pictures are that bad. I don't know if the picture quality is going to make me return it.
