Gadgetren – ASUS ROG Phone 7 doesn’t just exist in the regular version. ASUS company also introduced the Ultimate model like the previous generation of gaming phones.
With a higher price tag, the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate also offers a set of features that can enhance your mobile gaming experience. This device offers quality performance with a host of supporting features.
Of course, this new device manufactured by ASUS can be one of the right choices for those of us who like to play games with various kinds of support. Those of you who are in doubt can consider the pros and cons first.
The advantages of ASUS ROG Phone 7 Ultimate
1. Any toy can become a bulldozer
Like the regular version, the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate also comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (4nm) processor with speeds up to 3.2 GHz. This means that the device will be able to handle various game titles smoothly.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, in theory, brings several improvements compared to the chipset used by the previous ASUS ROG Phone 6. Its CPU is 15 percent faster and 15 percent more efficient. The GPU is also 20 percent more capable.
Qualcomm’s new-generation chipset is paired with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 internal storage. So, no matter how hard the game is played, it’s not much of a problem when using the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate.
In addition, ROG Phone 7 Ultimate also supports hardware-based ray tracing thanks to Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. This technology later allows image lighting, such as reflections on the surface of water or metal, to appear more realistic.
2. Superior Thermal System
In addition to the GameCool 7 thermal system that offers the cooling process of the chipset from all directions like the regular version, the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate also has an additional technology called AeroActive Portal, which is able to make the temperature handling even better.
The AeroActive Portal is a special hole that opens automatically when we install the AeroActive Cooler 7. Its function is to circulate air in the cooling system of the vapor chamber so that it can dissipate the heat generated by the chipset 3 times more efficiently.
Combined with Gamecool 7 that combines Boron Nitride (BN) on the back of the chipset, Rapid-Cycle vapor chamber and graphite, and additional accessories AeroActive Cooler 7, ROG Phone 7 Ultimate thermal management will work better with AeroActive Portal.
3. Strong power support
The 6,000mAh battery that the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate carries will also spoil users. We can also use the device to play games or do other activities with a longer duration.
If you need to charge, ROG Phone 7 Ultimate is also equipped with 65W HyperCharge technology. This fast charging support is claimed to be able to fill the battery from empty in just about 42 minutes.
This mobile phone also has Bypass Charging support, which can interrupt the charging process when we play games when the device is connected to the adapter. Thus, the temperature of the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate can remain stable and the battery health will not decrease quickly.
4. The screen supports High Animation
For a better gaming experience, the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate is also equipped with a 6.8-inch AMOLED display. The panel has Full HD+ resolution (2448 x 1080 pixels) with SGS-certified harmful light protection.
What is most interesting about the display used by the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate is the refresh rate support. This device has a panel that can display animations up to 165 Hz which is the highest for today’s mobile phones.
This very high refresh rate allows the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate to be able to handle various content animation settings. It will be very suitable for playing types of games that require quick responses, such as shooting.
5. Complete functions for playing games
As with the regular version, the AirTrigger controller feature is also present on the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate. The ultrasonic sensor it uses can recognize up to nine types of gestures, so it can be used to present more functions instead of just being the L and R buttons.
The ROG Phone 7 Ultimate also comes with support called X-Haptic. The device can later provide better feedback through a vibration to create an experience depending on the in-game situation.
The gaming experience can be even more fun because ROG Phone 7 also features dual speakers placed symmetrically on the front. If the sound is still missing, the AeroActive Cooler 7 accessory now also has a subwoofer that can be used as a plug-in.
On the other hand, we also have wider options in using headphones or earphones. ROG Phone 7 Ultimate supports 3.5mm jack, USB Type-C connection, and Qualcomm aptX and aptX Lossless codecs for wireless connection. There is also Hi-Res Audio support that allows us to listen to high quality audio.
Disadvantages of ASUS ROG Phone 7 Ultimate
1. The camera is classified as ordinary
As part of the flagship category, the camera that the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate carries is unfortunately quite ordinary. There are many similarly priced cell phones that offer a higher and more complete lens system than these devices.
This device is still based on the Sony IMX766, which has a maximum resolution of up to 50 MP. In addition, there is no telephoto sensor like most mobile phones in its class, but only a 13MP ultra-wide lens and only 5MP macro.
2. The price of the increase is expensive
The improvements offered by the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate can also be said to be very expensive. To ask for her hand, we need money worth IDR 18,999,000 or up to IDR 5,000,000 compared to the higher variant of the regular version.
Although with this relatively large price difference, we will only get a few improvements for the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate which include an additional 4GB of RAM, an OLED display that doubles as X Vision, and the AeroActive Portal feature.
3. It does not support Micro SD
Like today’s flagship phones, the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate also does not provide an external storage expansion slot. So we have to make do with 512 GB of internal media, which is fortunately enough for current use.
