Need your opinion folks. CNY/Spring festival is around the corner so phone sales a going crazy here. I stumbled across an ad selling 512gb CN set flashed to Global Rom, with cooler x included for Usd900. I personally find this to be a good deal. But my concern, flashing to global rom, can this be done?? Or the seller is faking the advertisement because i know from past models, asus locked root etc right?

Even if this can be done, will this method brick the phone down the road? And im sure the is no OTA firmware updates because of the flashing done. Manual firmware updates?

      They really made an generic phone with "gaming" features. Even the Oneplus 12 sounds better than this! Sorry Asus but you took one big sidestep with the ROG phone 8 and failed with all these downgrades. Not paying the money you are asking for. End of an era bye bye.

              I don't see why anyone would buy this. It has lost everything that made it different. Not even talking about the styling. I think it's good that they toned it way down. But why buy a phone for this price when you know the support and the camera are going to be less than budget tier. And believe me, my rog 6 takes worse pics and has less updates than my 3yo €200 Xiaomi phone. But still I prefer the rog phone cause of the cleaner software and the front facing notification led. But that's gone now...

                      Unpopular opinion, but I like the flagship approach while retaining a bit of gamer edge. It's gamer-y enough to be appreciated by gamers, but "exclusive" enough to be appreciated by the common masses.
                      The only problem is the price. This thing is insanely expensive, that I rather just get S24Ultra. Sure I lose the cool LED matrix on the back, but the S24 other features and price will make it up for it.

                        This is not about the phone in particular, but GSMarena should include the 3D model in the device page

                          The ROG Phone 8 Pro is just too expensive for what they are offering. You can get the RM9 Pro or OnePlus 12 for half the price of the ROG Phone 8 Pro. Even if the Asus phone is a little better overall, you're paying double the price. Just buy the OnePlus 12 today and then buy the OnePlus 14 in two years time and have a better phone for same total money.

                            It would be, if this phone was still unique, but it's not. It's just a regular flagship now, with a gaming design on it's back. Any flagship can game perfectly, the cooling might be better on some than on others, but certainly not on this phone, when it get's hotter than the rest.

Then compare their gaming performances to see the difference as well. Gaming phones don't focus on cameras obviously. If you want a camera phone, you can buy Samsung.

                                  In your review you write that the smartphone supports hdr10+, but you didn’t mention it in the specifications

                                    What do I need 24gb Ram for in an Android phone unnecessary upgrades should have upgrade the battery then.

                                      Can't even buy it. Like it's predecessors they are very often out of stock, it's really hard to get a hold of one even willing to pay full price.
