In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Asus India confirmed that the Asus ROG Phone 8 will launch in India on January 8, the same day it will be unveiled globally at CES 2024. The post was accompanied by a teaser video that showed the upcoming model with an “edgeless frame.” The screen shown in the teaser sports slimmer bezels compared to older models.
