Anonymous, 25 Oct 2024If you have not bought it and used it you can not say that ... moreI own the 7 and 8. The 7 is refined, comfortable, and works like a champ. The 8 is clumsy, buggy, and keeps falling apart. It's like an unfinished prototype. Asus's warranty service is still shitty. After all those scam complaints, all they did was make their e-mails more polite.
Leaks of the 9 look like the same crap with slightly newer parts so people are right to be wary.

jiyen235, 25 Oct 2024gaming phones don't matter for 90% of use cases anymor... moreYes, it is true. The only phone with front speakers, sd-card slot and headphone jack is Sony Xperia 1. But it's too expensive for my wallet. Besides Xperia is loosing features from year to year - model 1 VI is now without notification diode.

That's the major problem, those who never actual use the ROG 3/5/6/7 complaint alot like they gonna buy it if this & that etc.
After asus cut off the ROG team force to combine with zenfone team which got the worst sales than ROG team, poof & zenfone with ROG stick on it is born the ROG 8, a the past gaming feature being cut, the accessory not even compatible with Aeroative cooler...
Is true gaming phone is niche, but dropping the "gaming" features is the worst decision, is just a normal zenfone slap with ROG logo on it with a absurd price tag.

it's ok if they remove something they think is not required.
as they provide the alternative (buy this) as freebie.

gaming phones don't matter for 90% of use cases anymore. Watch Geekerwan OR Xiaobai's reviews on the Dimensity 9400 or the SD 8 Elite. These phones (Find X8 Pro and the Oneplus 13) use less power, generate less heat yet maintain higher or equivalent frame rates to the Redmagic9 Pro with a fan. So, now you can get great camera hardware (like on the X200 Pro) with decent thermals but also incredible battery life and performance as well.
If gaming phones need to be there, there needs to be some actual incentive. SD Card slot, headphone jacks with proper DACs/Amps to power good headphones, front firing stereo speakers that are loud and clear like the ROG Phone 7, huge batteries with fast charging, prices lower than 800 dollars AND if they wanna make the phone expensive, the max they should push is 900 dollars BUT they have to include all the accessories. Right now, the Oneplus 13 is going to be a better gaming device than these gaming phones whilst offering good cameras as well. If these "gaming" phones don't differentiate, why buy them?

Not bad. I like the design.
Though, did they remove the pixel/matrix thing? It's one of the few new things I really like with ROG 8.

Glad to visually confirm the headphone jack's still there. Hope they can bring back some of the other features they cut between 7 and 8 next year.

bean, 24 Oct 2024Gaming phones used to be a tier of their own for their high... moreAnd thats as it was bound to be!
Parts bin gets massed produced, to lower price of entry and production costs and yo increase prohets ans now readily accessible to all.
Gaming phones are a niche product category and thus low sales. Now with SD 8 Elite and future SoC's its possible theyll no longer be w niche market but a maij stay! To do that each product MUST have the best of the best and the support to deal woth it. Its time Asus puts the entire comoany behind this market segment vs just a small dedicated team.

Supposedly the battery is going to be slightly bigger this time. A Hi-Fi Dac upto 32-bit 384khz. 3.5mm headphone jack.
Dont care about the haters. I am getting this phone. Period.

I am buying this. I like the design. More mature and modern and simply more sophisticated gaming design than the 7. The 8 and 9 serious look more like serious gaming phones. The 7 and previous models looked like toys.
I am excited to buy this. Just wish Asus would give us a choice of processor. Because the GPU in the Mediatek D9400 is insanely powerful. Still. The 8 Elite just walks all over apple...
I know some of you will complain. I have had a red magic. Currently using the Redmi K50G (E-Sports Edition).
The Rog 9 Pro is a perfect gaming phone. Can't wait. Especially with PUBG. Anyway. Came 1st twice tonight within an hour of playing PUBG.
Gaming phones make it so much easier to come 1st place than conventional flagships... Those air triggers. Or in my case popup triggers make the phone another level for gaming... 1st place... Always & only. 2nd place is not an option, neither a compromise. It's 1st place. Or no place.

Would suggest searching asus motherboard failure and their warranty policies first before making any purchase because my rog 6 totally shut off after warranty and their very hard to find service center request almost 90% of the phone price for board replacement and told me it’s quite common reason if your phone suddenly shut off for good.
