30th January 2024 is upon us and the ROG Phone 8 Series Malaysia launch has finally happened. With all three variants available in Malaysia, here’s a quick recap, pricing, availability and the promos to enjoy if you want to own the phones a lot earlier.
ROG Phone 8 Series Quick Recap
Here’s a quick recap on the completely revamped from the ground-up ROG Phones 8 Series.
The entire ROG Phone 8 Series got a huge improvement over its predecessor which – in our opinion is long overdue. With a much bigger edge-to-edge display at 6.78” with 2500 nits brightness, powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a completely new camera setup that aims to bring better photo-taking capabilities on a gaming phone no less, IP68 certification for the first time and even support for Qi Wireless charging – this time we got the most decked out ROG Phone 8 Series ever.
However, the ROG Phone 8 Pro and the Pro Edition are the only ones to tout the new Anime Matrix display which was heavily inspired by their ROG Zephyrus G Series (which ironically no longer has it anymore). But expect the same level of customization if not more with this. If you want to find out more about the nitty-gritty information, head over to our earlier article.
