Unboxing the Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate with a review of the gaming performance, battery life and beyond. I've been testing the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate for a few days with Genshin Impact, Call of Duty etc and here's my impressions of (the best?) gaming smartphone of 2023.
Here in the UK, the pre-orders begin April 13 and prices start from £999 for the regular model. To go Ultimate, that'll cost you £200 more.
As far as specs and design goes, the Asus ROG Phone 7 series is very similar vs the 6D etc. The biggest upgrade is that Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 which ensures super-smooth gaming experiences, whatever you fancy. That near-7-inch AMOLED screen is another stunner with 165Hz refresh support, while the stereo speaker setup is unbelievably loud.
Asus has bunged its usual Game Genie features onto the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate (and regular model). And even with X Mode enabled and Genshin Impact set to maximum visuals, I found the battery life on this gaming phone was good for five solid hours of action.
So it ain't cheap, but the Asus ROG Phone 7 and 7 Ultimate are the greatest gaming phones when it comes to features and accessory support. Of course, Red Magic and Black Shark rivals offer the Snapdragon performance on a stricter budget, if you can't stretch to this premium price.
