About its construction quality, this cellphone is majorly manufactured with Glass (Corning Gorilla Glass) and Aluminum. This cellphone is for sale in two color options, phantom black and rebel grey. While this cellphone only has 6.45 inches long, it's still able to fit a a 6.8 inches display. Being just 0.35" thick,the Asus ROG Phone 8 is extremely thin and comfortable. Asus appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 7.94 ounces cellphone.

This device counts with wifi connectivity (which can be shared with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 5G , the fastest connectivity, 4G LTE-A super quick internet connection and also HSPA+ internet connection (a slower 4G type) and fast 3G internet connection, supported by HSDPA technologies.

The Asus ROG Phone 8 features two cameras, a 50 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 32 mega-pixels front facing camera. this phone's back-facing camera lens has an aperture of F1.9 so it can shoot awesome photos even in dark environments. This cellphone also captures videos in 7680x4320 at 24 fps, and slow motion videos in (Full HD) (1920x1080) up to 240 frames per second (8 times slower than normal videos).

An issue to take into account is that the Asus ROG Phone 8's battery is non-replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to live shorter, while with such a big battery you will probably replace this cellphone before it happens.
This phone also includes a great numbre of interesting features such as Fingerprint Identification, Wireless charging system, NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (5.3) and GPS Navigation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.
