While Asus hasn’t explicitly mentioned the ROG Phone 8, a promotional post hinted at the next gaming phone in line.
The highlight of the Asus ROG Phone 8 is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Qualcomm’s latest flagship Android chip. This news aligns with a recent statement from a Samsung official, suggesting that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will elevate gaming performance, surpassing even the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max.

Combined with the dedicated gaming features that ROG phones are known for, such as ultrasonic buttons with strong haptic feedback, the Asus ROG Phone 8 series is expected to be one of the top gaming phones of 2023.
