Asus's yearly gaming flagship is always big news, but it doesn't get any bigger than this, or as the case may be - smaller. The Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro is here and it's more of a conventional smartphone than any of its predecessors. Though there is still a gaming beast living inside it, that much is certain. The ROG Phone 8 packs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset with a passive cooling system that features a rapid-cooling conductor board with a boron nitride layer. It dissipates heat from the SoC and can be further aided by Asus' AeroActive Cooler. Take a look at the ROG Phone 8 Pro next to...

This is the ROG Phone 8, the slightly lesser member of the just announced duo. What's different is the customizable LEDs on the back, the fact that the 8 goes up to 16 GB of RAM (vs 24 GB on the Pro), and 512 GB of storage (1 TB on the Pro), as well as the retail package. The ROG Phone 8 ships with a 30W charger (65W on the Pro), a case, and a USB cable. There's no AeroActive Cooler X here, whereas the Pro has it in the box. Beyond that, the Asus ROG Phone 8 has the same impressive specs sheet as the ROG Phone 8 Pro. You get the newest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, the same 6.78-inch...
Asus wanted to build not just the best gaming phone, but also an overall flagship – the Asus ROG Phone 8 series has been redesigned to be more pleasant to use as a daily driver. There are three versions of the phone (four, actually), though the differences are mostly cosmetic. The new ROG phone is thinner and lighter – it measures 8.9mm and weighs 225g, compared to 10.3mm and 239g for the ROG Phone 7. This comes with a drop in battery capacity to 5,500mAh (500mAh down), but optimized hardware offers nearly the same battery life as last year’s model. The display measures 6.78” like last...
If you pay attention to world news, then you probably know about Alaska Airlines flight 1282. While climbing to its cruising altitude on a US domestic flight between Portland, Oregon, and Ontario, California, a panel in the fuselage of the Boeing 737 Max 9 plane simply blew off causing a loss of cabin pressure and a lot of things simply being thrown out into the air. One of those things was an iPhone that was recovered by Seanathan Bates, a game designer and .NET application developer. He found it on the side of a road while taking a walk, and then of course proceeded to hand it over to...
