ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) Philippines has just unveiled the ROG Phone 7 series at the ROG Phone 7: The Ultimate Game Show virtual launch event.
The latest series is comprised of the ROG Phone 7 and ROG Phone 7 Ultimate and is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset with the advanced GameCool 7 thermal system.
ROG Phone 7 Series
The ROG Phone 7 series is equipped with the 3.2GHz Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset coupled with up to 16GB of 8433Mbps LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB UFS 4.0 storage. The chipset also has WiFi 7 with Qualcomm FastConnect 7800.
The chipset is cooled by the GameCool 7 thermal System that uses a Boron Nitride thermal on one side for short sessions, a bigger vapor chamber and graphite sheets for mid-length sessions, and the AeroActive Cooler 7 for longer sessions. The last of which has a fan positioned over the CPU module.
The latest ROG Phone series supports real-time hardware-accelerated thanks to Snapdragon Elite Gaming. Moreover, it has Dirac Virtuo for Headphones and Snapdragon Sound technology for more immersive audio sessions, either wired or via Bluetooth.
The ROG Phone 7 series is built around a 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate and Delta E <1 color accuracy. They also feature AirTrigger ultrasonic controls that offer better fingertip control in your mobile games.
The ROG Phone 7 Ultimate has an AeroActive Portal, an air inlet that activates automatically when the AeroActive Cooler is attached. The inlet directs a constant flow of cool air from the cooler onto the cooling fins of the vapor chamber. The Ultimate device also features the ROG Vision, a matrix color display on the rear of the device. It is able to show events such as charging status, incoming calls, X-Mode activation, and more.
