Asus’ latest ROG gaming phones are faster, cooler, and louder
The ROG Phone 7 and Phone 7 Ultimate are the latest devices in Asus’ line of gaming-focused smartphones. They’re available to preorder in Europe and Taiwan starting today and will ship later this month. In Europe, the Phone 7 starts at €999 (£999.99), while the Phone 7 Ultimate starts at €1,399 (£1,199.99).
Given their gaming focus, both devices are, of course, equipped with Qualcomm’s latest flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. But there’s also an “upgraded GameCool 7 thermal system” that’s designed to extract as much performance as possible out of this processor by keeping it cool under load. Asus claims the phones’ vapor chamber cooling system dissipates heat up to 168 percent more efficiently than last year’s ROG Phone 6.
