I had great expectations since the ROG Phone 7 is great, but this one is a dud. First, it is very fast and it has a 1TB storage option. That's where the good things end. Build quality is awful and it's common for the glass back to bulge out. The new AirTriggers are too inaccurate to use. Pocket mode doesn't work. Tap to wake can't be turned off. Phone call audio quality is terrible both ways and noise cancellation must be turned off because it's entirely broken. The white LED matrix isn't very configurable so I've found no uses for it that aren't annoying as hell. Bugs aren't getting fixed and now Asus is missing Android security patches. It's not the premium phone that matches its premium price.

Good phone, but a lot of bugs like previous versions. Rog phone 8 have issues with google wallet payments at pos terminals and manufacturer dont give a $hit about this.

Motofreak, 30 May 2024A flagship with a maximum 1080p 30fps selfie cam. Rotfl.Of all the things you criticize, it just had to be the useless selfie camera. Which was totally overshadowed by every other specs.

No gaming phone with sd8gen3 can't beat my Iqoo 12 in thermal or camera and priced, but I'm interested in rog software that can bypass their owner who use joystick! Damn

There are plenty of alternatives without a headphone jack if your priority is the camera.
But if you want headphone jack, your options are very very very limited.

Mid range user perspective
I have been using it for some days, the 8 gen 3 is somehow not draining your battery too fast as compare to my older mediatek 8100. The screen is still very nice with 165hz refresh rate
The older 8 gen xx also warm, if not hot
The speaker is loud n clear
Punch hole? I can live with it since my previous phones are all with punch hole
And why I chose this ROG 8? Because it's the cheapest 8 gen 3 in here. Mi14 with smaller screen and iqoo 12 is $100 more expensive
Of course my perspective doesn't represent those who used gaming phone like the previous ROG7 or Red Magic with below the screen front camera. But it's comfortable to grab n grip and not too heavy

According to Aliexpress shops:
- Global Rom is Tencent Games Verison (CN version: we will open the box to install Global ROM and Google Play before delivery), comes with US charger, support manual update only.
- HK version is Republic of Gamers Version (Global Version) comes with UK charger, support automatic update.

Attention! People do not buy Tencent versions from Aliexpress, These are intended for China mainland only. They lack some GSM radio bands needed in Europe or Americas. Also OTA updates doesn't work at all and service centers will not repair chinese phones.
