The Pro model is expected to support HDR10 and a refresh rate of up to 165Hz.

Asus has confirmed that the ROG Phone 8 handsets will be powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The base model is expected to come with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage, while the high-end variant is likely to be offered in configurations of 16GB and 24GB of RAM alongside 512GB and 1TB of inbuilt storage.

The Pro model of the Asus ROG Phone 8 lineup is also tipped to carry a triple rear camera unit including a 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 primary sensor, a 13-megapixel sensor with an ultra-wide lens, and a 32-megapixel telephoto shooter. The front camera of the ROG Phone 8 Pro is said to come with a 32-megapixel sensor. Camera details of the base model are not yet known.
