Asus is trying to appeal to a broader target group with the ROG Phone 8. Whether this will actually succeed is questionable. After all, the ROG Phone brand is very strongly associated with the topic of gaming. In terms of technology, it can definitely keep up with the top smartphones from other manufacturers - with a few compromises.
