Asus posted on X, revealing a snapshot of the ROG Phone 8’s rear and camera system. The big news? A brand new camera system is in the works. However, the company keeps the camera specs under wraps. What is intriguing, though, is the call to action. Asus invites people to participate in a blind photo test, comparing images taken on phones from industry giants. Those who take part stand a chance to score a unit of the highly anticipated gaming smartphone.
While gaming smartphones typically prioritize performance over camera quality, Asus is promising a significant upgrade for the ROG Phone 8’s camera capabilities, teasing its new pro-level camera system. The previous two generations, the ROG Phone 6 and the ROG Phone 7, stuck to the same hardware (barring the front camera). The latter, though, harnessed the advanced technology of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, fueling its performance.
For instance, the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate, one of the best gaming phones out there, has a triple camera system, including a 50MP primary shooter, 13MP ultra-wide, and 8MP macro. While this setup is adequate for everyday use, it is not as advanced as the cameras found on other high-end smartphones.
