The ASUS ROG Phone 8 Ultimate will be the most powerful smartphone in the lineup, and it was just confirmed it will include the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and 24GB of RAM.
The ASUS ROG Phone 8 Ultimate will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 & 24GB of RAM
This confirmation comes from Geekbench, a benchmarking tool. The phone appeared with the ASUS_AI2401_D model number. The phone managed to score 2,235 points in the single-core, and 7,098 points in the multi-core test. That is impressive, and in line with what Qualcomm shared for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
What this benchmark also reveals is that the phone will ship with Android 14 out of the box. On top of it, you’ll get ASUS’ ROG UI, of course. For those of you who are out of the loop, this is ASUS’ upcoming gaming smartphone.
ASUS has been releasing its gaming smartphones as part of the ROG brand for quite some time now. It had a compelling lineup of devices to offer earlier this year, and the same will be the case next year.
Its charging speed was also revealed recently
It’s interesting that all this info is coming so early, though. The phone’s charging speed was recently revealed, and now it surfaced on Geekbench. It is not expected to arrive until Q2 next year, however.
The ASUS ROG Phone 6 series launched in July 2022, while the ROG Phone 7 series arrived in April last year. So let’s assume that the ROG Phone 7 series will launch in April next year, or at least close to it.
The ASUS ROG Phone 8 Ultimate will be the most powerful smartphone in the series. This year’s model includes 16GB of RAM, while the ROG Phone 8 Ultimate will bump that up to 24GB of RAM.
Do note that the 24GB RAM model could end up being exclusive to China, we’ll see. The ASUS ROG Phone 8 Ultimate will make its way to global markets, though.
