However, there are devices where OTA will not work, we usually inform about it on the product page, in the "ROM" section. If you'll not be able to make automatic updates, you may always try to make manual system update, which may require some skills or tools (ex. ADB) installed on your computer. It may also remove system customisations installed before ex. multi-language support. For more info you may ask us a question from product page.

NFC will most likely work on the most of the devices bought on our website. 

Exception are some, but not all, devices sold with unlocked bootloader, due to Global rom installation ex. Xiaomi. Some other devices with Global rom installed on original rom, and unlocked bootloader shouldn't have problems with NFC payments - ex. Realme devices.

THERMAL

GameCool 8

Despite its sleeker form factor, the ROG Phone 8 houses a revolutionary precision thermal structure. GameCool 8 adopts our groundbreaking 360° SoC Cooling System Gen 2 design, resulting in a 22% improvement4 in thermal efficiency. And the latest AeroActive Cooler X is even more powerful for extra performance — up to another 20% of thermal efficiency!

THERMAL

Rapid-Cooling Conductor

ROG engineers have discovered the ultimate passive cooling solution. Our 360° SoC Cooling System Gen 2 — places a Rapid-Cooling Conductor precisely between the SoC and the metal near the back cover, so the heat is dissipated evenly from all the thermal layers. And when the AeroActive Cooler X is attached, the Rapid-Cooling Conductor ‘s location exactly matches the place where the thermoelectric cooling chip touches the phone, so the chipset is directly and efficiently cooled.

THERMAL

AeroActive Cooler X

The latest AeroActive Cooler X is more compact yet more powerful. Compared to the previous model, it is smaller and lighter, but the thermoelectric cooling chip is 2.6x larger5 and the fan rotation speed is 1.1x faster5 for up to 1.3x better cooling performance5.

CAMERAS

Pro-level camera

The ROG Phone 8 has an advanced tri-camera system for endless possibilities. Capture amazing ultrawide shots, zoom in on distant objects, or record super-steady videos.

50 MP IMX890 Main camera

The main camera delivers crystal clear images with the latest 50 MP IMX890 Sony image sensor. The 24 mm8 wide lens allows perfect street snaps.
The lossless 2x zoom mode also turns it into the equivalent of a 50 mm8 prime lens, making it perfect for portrait and food photography.

6-Axis Hybrid Gimbal Stabilizer 3.0

The main camera has an incredible 6-Axis Hybrid Gimbal Stabilizer 3.0 for even smoother videos and shake-free photos on the move with ±3 degrees movement correction. Both standard and portrait shooting modes are now supported by this advanced stabilization, making it perfect for low-light photography.
The ROG Phone 8 also takes video stability to the next level. Its hardware anti-shake OIS and upgraded EIS software algorithm — which uses the gyro to detect movement — allow dynamic adjustment of the field of view to always keep your video rock-steady.

3x Telephoto camera with Optical IS

For the first time ever, the ROG Phone 8 features a 32 MP9 telephoto camera that unlocks the ability to capture distant objects. This 3x telephoto camera has built-in Optical Image Stabilization to ensure crisp and sharp results, and it supports Night Photography mode for amazing low-light shots.
The ROG Phone 8 also uses HyperClarity technology using unprocessed (RAW) files to preserve every detail, giving you clearer images even when you zoom in close at 10x and up to 30x zoom.

0.7x 13 MP Ultrawide camera

The 13 MP ultrawide camera on the ROG Phone 8 is perfect for shooting amazing landscape photos, or portraits in narrow space.
It uses a freeform surface modeling optical design and the latest algorithms to reduce lens distortion and produce stunning yet natural images.

32 MP RGBW Ultrawide selfies

The front camera has an ultrawide 90° FoV that’s perfect for group selfies. You can choose between a 1x standard field of view or a 0.7x ultra-wide angle for different purposes.
Not only that, but with the additional white pixels on its 32 MP RGBW sensor to capture more light, images are clean with less noise even in low light.

AI PHOTOGRAPHY

Pro-level computational photography

The ROG Phone 8 uses the latest computational photography algorithms and software features to enhance image quality even further. It’s magical!

AI Object Sense

AI Object Sense divides the image into multiple sections — sky, sea and sand for example — and optimizes the contrast and saturation separately, producing vivid yet natural-looking results.

Quick Shot

Seize the moment with a double press on volume key: the camera captures three photos instantly, so you don’t miss any important moments.

Light Trail mode

This mode uses multi-frame image stacking with AI to create breathtaking long-exposure handheld shots.

Semantic Search in Gallery App

By adopting multimodal learning, the ROG Phone 8 can use natural language for photo search. For example: “Show me the sunset photos I took in Tokyo.”, and the system will find the best matches for you.

OZO Audio*

With OZO Audio technology you can choose to eliminate wind noise for crystal-clear recordings, or capture an immersive, high-fidelity 3D surround-sound experience.
