Asus has recently introduced the highly anticipated ROG Phone 8 Pro series in India, marking a significant leap in the realm of gaming smartphones. The device boasts an impressive 6.78-inch Full HD+ AMOLED HDR 1-120Hz LTPO display, featuring a gaming-friendly 165Hz refresh rate. This phone is not just a visual delight but also excels in performance with the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC at its core, coupled with a staggering 24GB of RAM.
One of the standout features of the ROG Phone 8 Pro is its display, reaching up to 2500 nits peak brightness. This ensures a vibrant and immersive gaming experience, even in challenging lighting conditions. The 165Hz refresh rate further enhances the responsiveness of the display, catering specifically to the needs of avid gamers.
Under the hood, Asus has incorporated the proprietary Rapid-Cooling Conductor design as a crucial component of its advanced GameCool thermal system. This innovative system efficiently transfers heat from the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC directly to the back cover, ensuring sustained high-level performance during intense gaming sessions.
Addressing the thermal concerns even more comprehensively, Asus has redesigned the AeroActive Cooler X clip-on cooler. Now 29% smaller, it delivers a remarkable 1.2X higher thermal efficiency, resulting in a substantial reduction of up to 26 degrees Celsius in the back cover temperature. This not only enhances the device's overall performance but also ensures a comfortable gaming experience.
