I've got a ROG Phone 7 non-ultimate and I am not a gamer. I just love the fact, that its battery lasts for like ever (I'm exaggerating of course, but still quite a good battery) and the performance is awesome.

I'm disappointed that the cooling fan doesn't have a subwoofer like last year. I hope there is an Ultimate version to change this shortcoming

[@aoxuanhien3923]

i saw that its still there, like the previous gen

[@LordMeow1]

The ROG's cooling fans are too heavy and for me it actually makes the game experience a bit unenjoyable. Just use a watercooling phone coolers like Nishen, they're completely quiet, much cooler, and much lighter.

[@Shagrath06]

The stuff they’ve put in software is truly impressive.

[@BenL1242]

GSM Arena's video reviews exude positivity, making every phone seem like a worthwhile purchase.😅 In contrast, their written reviews on the website provide well-detailed pros, cons, and comparisons with competitors, offering a more comprehensive analysis.

[@Sheikh_Aasif_sahab]

Exactly 😅

[@franher9475]

Damn, I really liked the four buttons on the previous active cooler, got quite used to them. That small detail and replacing the ultrasonic triggers might keep me from upgrading my ROG phone 7 ultimate.

[@xunsungwar77]

I hope u guys can be the first company to make a gaming android tablet with air trigger and 2 charging ports. I will support no matter how expensive it is.

[@RBFR01]

I feel like Asus needs to market the gaming phones as everyday driver phones also make them more everyday driver friendly like the S24+. Snap Draggon gen 3 chip, 24gigs of ram 1440p display, 165Watt charging, Samsung cameras, big battery, expandable storage and headphone jack located at top of phone. This would be a crazy good phone and I'd 100% buy it imo.

[@imanoob5201]

yeh atm theres not enough for me to buy especially charging the same price as an iphone 15 pro

[@happyoutside8227]

They wont. If so, you are not the target market.

[@coolcat23]

I bought the Asus ROG 6 because it did not have a notch, two forward-firing speakers, a headphone jack, and a huge battery. I like the toned-down look of the ROG 8, but the notch (and the reduced battery capacity) make it completely uninteresting for me.

[@fahmiriyadi3468]

even though on paper the battery is smaller, it will last longer than your rog 6 because of a more efficient SOC.

[@kogizowo7219]

Agree, cuz nothch on gaming phones, this is not gaming phone

[@pawang_game_id]

[@Metalshark100]

nice vid, unfortunately its hard for me to get the rog phone 7 here in the UK (been out of stock on the asus site for ages) and i don't want to get one from aliexpress as i've heard people had issues with those ones. touch response being really slow or mobo issues etc. so i've just pre-ordered an rog phone 8 although i wish it still had the dual front facing speakers and the subwoofer, though I think its time to replace my rog phone 3 otherwise i'd like to wait for the rog phone 9 instead. I agree with others, theres too many downgrades here.

[@jeraldinellanasas6008]

Can u make a review about which ROG Phones is your best ❤

[@ianbenedicto2680]

already got my ROG 8 pro Edition and its a "Beast" for having 24ram and 1TB storage. Best feature I'd say for long gaming, it cools faster that the ROG 7 Ultimate. Yes, kinda dismayed with removing the subwoofer in the cooler and no longer build front speakers. But if you have Cetra, that should be fine. (The punch whole sucks, but you can adjust the screen, from full screen to cropped. Overall, definitely a recommended gaming phone.

Wow. I have never been more disappointed in a product. I can now safely say there's no phone on the market that I like. As an ROG phone 7 owner, seing things like a hole punch camera, the downgrade in speakers (unbelievable, not even front facing anymore), the smaller battery, the removal of the led notification light (rip forever) brings me to tears (not literally, of course). 🤮 🤢 I gotta take really good care of my rog phone 7, it'll have to last me a good while.

[@deadskull6969]

The old design will come back... Would rather have a small bezel which offers better sound, better battery in expense of a slightly small display, than this. Also not to mention comparing to the older model which has a small vent, I believe the cooling is wayyyyyyy better compared to a perfectly sealed one .

No mention of the price? For the record, it is £1299 in the UK for the only model available, the 1TB/24GB model. That is a hefty price, especially as it may only receive 2-3 Android OS updates and the cameras are so-so. With the downgrades it also is less interesting. An easy pass.

I think Asus has completely missed the mark on this one, it's no longer a gaming smartphone, it's a standard, banal smartphone, and on top of that too expensive, with a mediocre camera system and only 2 years of Android update 🤦🏽‍♂️ $1100 for that is way too expensive and brings nothing more than an iPhone 15 Pro Max, OnePlus 12, Xiaomi 14 or future Galaxy S24 Ultra with an active cooling system attached to the back 🤷🏽‍♂️ I think Asus should have simply updated the design of the Zenphone 7 Pro, kept its 6000 mAh battery 🔋 or even increased to 6500 mAh,lower the price by $200, offer at least 3-4 years of Android update, but above all, kept its active cooling system. This smartphone is really not a good deal, and especially no more of a gaming smartphone especially against a $700-$800 Redmagic 9 Pro, it's clearly not a gaming smartphone.

[@Leanzazzy]

Asus really has cut not just the corners, but the entire middle in order to appeal to everyone. I definitely appreciate the IP68 rating and the matrix display on the back, but it is not worth so many downgrades. Most noticeably, the sustained thermal performance, you know, the one thing ROG phones were supposed to be amazing at. And I'm talking about just the phone itself, without the AeroActive Cooler 8, because it doesn't come in the box unless you buy the ultimate edition, not to mention the average person isn't going to be carrying it around everywhere with them, especially in their pockets. Last year the Xiaomi 13 Ultra actually had much better sustained thermal performance than the ROG phone 7 Ultimate, and that isn't even a gaming phone. Not to mention that already has IP68 dust and water resistance, fast wireless charging, amazing cameras and everything else a true flagship has. This year Xiaomi introduced many phones with vapour chambers twice or even quadruple the size, so Asus really needs to step up. All this wouldn't matter if the phone was actually reasonably-priced. But no, it costs far more than other flagships and offers less, while not even doing the main thing it is made to do properly. No.

[@ZenGaming03]

Also the thermal cooling is downgraded from 4 buttons to only 2. Did not have kunai gamepad compatibility and no more front dual speakers.

[@063dharmeshrajan5]

Just spread this comments so people knows reality for this bcoz many youtubers still appreciate this shit and people buy this shit.

[@Eihei]

Those things are not even that bad for me. But far the worst downgrade are the speakers. Pretty much ever since Rog Phone 3 they were leading by far, now it's meh, just to thin the bezels. It used to be a smartphone for some, now it's a smartphone for none. I'm sad.

since the hot, slow and b.draining s22 i don't buying Exynos phones never ever again and so after using my s23 for nearly a year which looks very beat up now, i just bought the Asus Rog Phone 8 last week and i'm pretty happy with it. i absolutely don't game on any phone I've ever used. i just wanted a decent looking and fluid performing Snapdragon powered phone with rounded corners. the Rog 8 comes with a pretty nice package and a charger in the box. coming from more than 10 years of constantly buying and using Samsung phones and tablets it's just a little bit different using the Asus Ui. it's so much more fluent and better performing than any Samsung I've ever had in my hand's, it's so much better!! i'm very happy with the Rog 8 so far. i've paid 1090€ and i think it's relatively fair for the package you get. i'm buying Asus motherboards and graphic cards for many years and Asus always delivers at very high quality standards. if Asus would build a tablet i instantly would buy it. there are options outside the Samsung ecosystem and Exynos crippled devices and when you don't want to buy an Apple iPhone or support the CCP with buying an Xiaomi or Oppo, i think Asus i by far the best option for you.

[@mubienkvape]

For me, I like the new changes in every aspect. A gaming phone with good camera is what i prefer rather than having 2 phones with different purpose. The one thing I still can't get it though is Asus decision to still insist on having 2 android upgrade. The standard of all phones should be 3 years and 4 years security update

[@immanuelkant7552]

The base model costs the equivalent of 1385 usd in Norway. I can not believe they still use a display with full hd+ resolution at that price point in 2024. Some manufacturers had 1440p displays on their phones 10 years ago. They even downgraded the battery capacity when compared to the previous model and removed the front firing speakers. iPhone 15 Pro Max and S23 Ultra are much better phones in my opinion.
