Been using this phone for more than month, been a blast considering my old dedicated handheld gaming device is a mid-low end phone, so many complaints in here without even telling their experience with the phone itself, maybe buy the phone first?
"Oh hell no, they added hole punch?! and no mo rgbs?
lower battery capacity? Why Asus WHY?! my REDMAGIC is better than this by a MILE! Asus has really fallen off!

Like bro chill lmao, worried about the possible issues of the phone? Check out other phones ,they have some too, y'all can't be doing all this shit just cuz you can't have it lol

    $1000+ price 2 month later price drop to half lol

      Ex-Asus, 06 Feb 2024Yes, that was/is a fact. Now explain to us why the customer... moreVideo output on USB-C, two USB-C ports, better camera, larger battery, more thermal headroom for the SoC, 3.5 jack, tri-band wifi, better BT codec, extra buttons for gaming, IP68, wireless charging, and overall better quality control. There is a reason why Xiaomi also offers actual flagship phones.

      Also, since K70 Pro is China-only, it has no real international support and network bands are limited.
      Not to mention the MIUI/HyperOS-specific issues, like f* ads.

        I got the pro version for $800 in my country. Too bad they poor service center which I tend to avoid. But rog phone 8 seems okay. The only thing I regret is they only have 2 years os update

          Just buy the cheaper model and buy the cooler seperately, it doesn't cost 300 or more euros/dollars.

              this garbage, only the phone is sold with 1185 euro here
              now the phone + that small cooler is sold with 1518.
              the difference of 333 euro is only for that cooler you attach on the back of the phone
              imagine being such a fan for this brand to pay 333 euro for a pos plastic small cooler

                I really like this phone, but I'm going to wait for the next one. I'm hoping they bring more colors to the back glass other than just plain boring black. If they have white, blue or red back glass with the black edge, it would look amazing. I am also waiting for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 made with the new TSMC 3nm.

                  Headphone audio is fantastic. Wish they put the same circuits on the Zenfone 11/12. Now that would warrant an upgrade imho.

                    DeonSJ, 11 Mar 2024Can u let me know whether all the banking apps works perfec... moreI cant emphasize enough that the global rom flashed CN set works mirror like to the global version, except for the manual firmware updates. For the haters and global version consumers fanboys who are ever so afraid of getting out of comfort zone, let me burst your bubble. Here is a convo with the chinese/taiwanese dude that was able to flash Global Rom for us all. Let me enlighten those haters:

                    QUESTION:

                    I've read all about how graymarket re-sellers manage to take Chinesese version of Rog Phone, a version that was never intended to be sold outside of China, re-flash it with officially not supported Global Rom and sell that, so the poor suckers who buy that get stuck without any support and updates from Asus.

                    Does that still stands for ROG Phone 8? If one would buy a ROG Phone 8 Tencent Global Rom version they would be stuck without any support and updates?

                    Why is it then that "ROG Official Store" on AliExpress is selling ROG Phone 8 Tencent Global Rom?


                    Answer:

                    1) ROG Official Store on Aliexpress are doing the flashing of Global Rom

                    2) The Convo:

                    As for the differences between the tencent band version and the global version. The seller says that from a technical point of view they are identical, the restriction is PROGRAMMATIC in nature, and if you buy the tencent version stitched with the global version, then these RESTRICTIONS will be LIFTED and all ranges will be available.

                    The buyer's question, the quote was translated with the help of a translator: "The official ASUS website says that the Chinese version of the smartphone does not have band 20 support, but you say that it does. How is it?"

                    The seller's response, the quote translated with the help of a translator: Yes, the Chinese version has software restrictions and a neutered Band 20. In fact, the Chinese version and the global version are the same in hardware. The hardware supports Band 20. Moreover, we have updated the system to the global firmware Version WW, so the updated version of Tencent already supports Band. 3 / 7 / 20"

                    With this answer above, tencent or global variant both are of similar hardware components (except for regions receiving 5mp macro lens) and restrictions are programmable, we can safely conclude, the moment global rom is flashed on CN set, that phone is as good as global on a cheaper price tag. Warranty is still valid, on my end at least, no trouble registering my product for 1 year warranty. Updates are easily made available on official websites and group chats in telegram etc to be downloaded

                          lol the people complaining about the res and ppi are clearly console gamers, id rather lower resolution with maxed out settings and high fps than high resolution with minimum settings and low fps.

                          there's a reason why the rog phone 3 still outperforms higher resolution phones using the same soc to this day and the same story will happen in 5 years. Watch the rog phone 8 outperform your higher resolution phones using sd8g3.

The only one to ever do it right was the xiomi black shark 3 pro . 7.1 with ACTUAL buttons and 488 ppi .....AND A HEADPHONE JACK...GOD TIER. but xiomi has ran that line into the ground imagine a XIOMI BLACK SHARK 8 PRO then give it the Sony Xperia 1 Mach 5s 634 ppi screen at 7.1 inches with a headphone jack and a snapdragon 8 Gen 3......OOOOHHHH WEEE DAMMMM TALK ABOUT SPLOOOSH.....ID GIVE MY LEFT _______ FOR SUCH A DEVICE ....... literally couldn't get any better. These companies say that smartphone innovation is dead yet they take away some of the features that are an absolute necessity......headphone jack , expandable storage quality displays......I don't get it. You want to make more money add the price of the headphone dongle to the devices price , shut down your cloud and add a space for expanding the storage and add the price to the device. .....


                            Anyone builds the above mentioned phone I'll give you 2000$ for it.

                              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 =)

I'd rather buy from official sources than from Aliexpress. No OTA, no some network bands, no warranty, but if it's good for you, fine. Until motherboard fails.

                                        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.
