A new major phone that’s just released, so it’s time for it to go through the ringer. The Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro recently came out, and Zack Nelson from JerryRigEverything has put it through his durability test. During the video, we also got a look at the inside of the phone.
The Asus ROG Phone 8 is the latest gaming phone from the company, and it was highly reviewed here at Android Headlines. If you want to see why we love this phone so much, check out our Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro review.
The Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro goes through a durability test
For the most part, this is a pretty typical durability test. The screen scratched at a level six with deeper grooves out of level 7, the frame is made of metal, and the display lasts about 20 seconds under the lighter before the pixels start to die.
However, the peak of these videos is usually the bend test. Asus’s ROG Phones have failed the past to bend tests, and that never sits right with users. This time around, bending from the back and the front resulted in some pretty troubling flexing, but the phone did ultimately survive the test. It didn’t survive as well as the Galaxy S24 Ultra (Review), but it was able to earn Jack’s stamp of approval. However, the back glass did shatter at one point.
All in all, the ROG Phone 8 Pro survived the test, but you will still want to be careful with this phone. Just don’t bend the phone with all of your strength, and you should be fine.
As for the teardown, we were able to see the intricate cooling system that this phone uses. Just like the OnePlus 12 (Review), this phone uses a rather large vapor chamber cooling system. It’s not as large as the cooling system in the OnePlus 12, but it’s still very robust.
