That camera bump is what’s gone ROG.

Asus’ ROG phones are about gaming, never really about cameras. But now Asus just released a shadowy teaser pic of its new ROG Phone 8, and it’s got a thick camera plateau that I can’t imagine is comfortable to hold horizontally for playing.

Judging by what’s visible, it looks like it might be a bit more subdued in its design compared to the loud and fun previous models.
