ROG Phone 7 and ROG Phone 7 Ultimate, the latest gaming phones from ASUS, were launched in the Philippines. See their specs, features, and price.
According to ASUS, "this futuristically-styled phone — which sports a new two-tone design — combines the game-winning power of the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform with the advanced GameCool 7 thermal system and special ROG tuning to deliver a truly breathtaking mobile gaming experience ever."
Fast Performance
The mighty ROG Phone 7 series was designed without compromise, unleashing the incredible gaming power of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform, which is 15 percent faster and 15 percent more power-efficient than its predecessor. It includes up to 16 GB of 8533 Mbps LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 4.0 ROM, which is twice as rapid as UFS 3.0. It is ready for WiFi 7 (802.11be) with Qualcomm FastConnect 7800, which supports ultrafast 320 MHz channels and Multi-Link operation with revolutionary latency performance benefits.
Further, ROG Phone 7 supports hardware-accelerated real-time ray tracing thanks to Snapdragon Elite Gaming. This means that, for supported games, players can enjoy hyper-realistic reflections, particularly on water and metal surfaces, which adds a new dimension to the gaming experience.
The ROG Phone 7 series has a 165 Hz AMOLED display with a 720 Hz touch-sampling rate and a Delta E <1 color accuracy to keep up with the quickest action. ASUS has also enhanced the brightness to 1500 nits to improve outdoor visibility. Pixelworks, a prominent visual-processing company, collaborated with the developers to achieve world-beating color accuracy.
In addition, the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate is equipped with ROG Vision, a unique matrix color display on the rear of the device that exemplifies the brand's audacious innovation. This innovative feature can display awe-inspiring animations triggered by system events such as charging status, inbound calls, X Mode activation, and more. ROG Vision enables gamers to exhibit their individuality by allowing them to create personalized animations that enhance the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate's individuality.
Power Efficient
To minimize power consumption without sacrificing performance, the ROG Phone 7 series leverages the 15% improvement in power efficiency provided by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform, complemented by the finest CPU cooling system ever developed, GameCool 7. This utilizes a three-pronged strategy. The Boron Nitride (BN) thermal compound on one side of the CPU reduces throttling during brief sessions. The larger vapor chamber and graphite sheets on the opposite side of the CPU are responsible for medium-duration sessions. For marathon sessions, the AeroActive Cooler 7, with its fan positioned directly over the CPU module and Peltier element for enhanced cooling performance, comes into action for AI-powered active cooling.
The ROG Phone 7 Ultimate features the industry-leading AeroActive Portal to improve cooling. Automatically activated when the AeroActive Cooler is connected, this air inlet directs a constant passage of cool air from the cooler to the cooling fins of the vapor chamber. This effectively dissipates the heat generated by the SoC, resulting in a significant increase in both gaming performance and battery life. When the AeroActive Portal is activated, the thermal efficacy of the phone can increase by as much as 20 percent.
Moreover, the new rapid-cycle vapor chamber in the ROG Phone 7 has been entirely redesigned: it is now larger and employs special trident-shaped wick columns on the chamber's long edges to increase its efficacy. In addition, six liquid-return channels allow water to return to the SoC in preparation for the subsequent thermal cycle. Additionally, the ROG Phone 7's thermally efficient graphite sheets have been enlarged and reshaped to maximize heat transfer from the mainboard and RF board.
The AeroActive Cooler 7 includes not only an enhanced fan with more blades for increased back pressure but also a thermoelectric Peltier cooler for maximal cooling capacity. The revolutionary DualCool design guarantees that, while the Peltier cooler cools the rear of the phone, cooling air is also directed across the screen for maximum cooling efficiency.
Hard Core Gaming
Mobile gamers have never heard of phones with acoustic quality comparable to the ROG Phone 7 series. The five-magnet, super-linear subwoofer in the AeroActive 7 cooler boosts bass volume by 77 percent for unbeatable 2.1 sound in games or movies when the cooler is affixed, compared to the previous generation. Fine-tuning in collaboration with the audio specialists at Dirac guarantees unparalleled sound quality.
From its 3.5 mm headphone port to its Dirac Virtuo for Headphone theater-like spatial sound, the ROG Phone 7 series is equipped with all the necessary audio technology. The ROG Phone 7's support for Snapdragon Sound enables ultra-low-latency, high-fidelity Bluetooth audio, so regardless of the user's listening preference, their hearing will be grateful.
New software features further enhance the gaming experience. With a pop-up notification, X Sense enables gamers to detect key on-screen events, such as when an essential new item appears on the map, or an enemy is approaching. And if a player eliminates multiple enemies with a single maneuver, X Sense adds celebratory visual effects. X Capture is an AI-powered tool that automatically captures memorable instances in battle, such as defeating an opponent or winning a match.
The famed AirTrigger ultrasonic controls, which support a wide variety of gestures, such as Dual Action, Press and Lift, and Gyroscope Aiming, provide gamers with unparalleled control over their games for a console-like experience. In addition, there are ten motion controls and an X-axis linear motor that deliver potent haptic feedback to immerse players in action. In addition, it enables the outstanding Vibration Mapping feature, which enhances the touch experience by providing customizable haptic feedback for virtual on-screen controls.
