The ASUS ROG Phone 8 and ROG Phone 8 Pro smartphones are finally available to purchase in the US. Both of those devices were announced almost two months ago, so it’s nice to see them arrive to the States at last.

The ASUS ROG Phone 8 series is now available to pre-order in the US

The thing is, even if you purchase one, you’ll have to wait about a month in order to get it. So you’ll essentially be pre-ordering one. Both phones are available directly via ASUS’ online store and various retailers in the States. You can get them from Amazon, Newegg, and Mobile Advance.

Both devices come in Phantom Black and Rebel Gray colors. The ASUS ROG Phone 8 is priced at $999.99, which gets you a $100 pre-order discount. The ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro will set you back $1,999.99. That model comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro Bundle (24GB of RAM & 1TB of storage) costs $1,499.99.

It’s worth noting that the ‘Bundle’ gets you a free AeroActive Cooler X. Both devices are compatible with GSM networks in the US, including AT&T, T-Mobile, and all MVNOs from both carriers. The purchase links are available below the article.

These are very powerful gaming smartphones

The ASUS ROG Phone 8 and ROG Phone 8 Pro are gaming smartphones, as many of you know. The two phones are actually quite similar. Both are fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and they look the same. They have the same dimensions, and weight too.

Their displays are also identical, you’re getting a 6.78-inch fullHD+ LTPO AMOLED panel on both phones. That panel has a 165Hz refresh rate for gaming, and 120Hz for regular use. The display gets up to 2,500 nits of peak brightness.

ASUS used LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 flash storage on both phones. The ROG Phone 8 comes with more RAM and storage, while the cameras are the same on both phones, globally. The Chinese ROG Phone 8 is inferior to the ‘Pro’ model in the camera department.

We did review the ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro back in January. So if you’d like to know more about it, feel free to check out that article.
