And with third-party peltier cooler it is able to maintain stable fps in genshin impact, while without it the fps drop after 10 minutes and become unplayable.

Well... that's kinda what I expected. There's only so much cooling you can do to a device that is also being designed to be weather-resistant. Phones and handheld cameras are just the worst for cooling. They have to be built like a thermos just to avoid dying from a light rain or roasting the hands and leg meat of the user. Phonemakers are gonna have to really think out of the box if they want the "gaming phone" to be more than just a marketing stunt. Maybe a copper heatplate with a gasket covering it would do the trick, but I doubt it'll pass the durability test. Another idea might be to insert a "cooling unit" attached to a copper rod that you kinda... stab through a small hole in the device. Anything to actually wick the heat out of the case rather than _through_ the case material itself.

[@John_1920]

I have, from experience, come to find that the most times that I drop a phone by accident, it always lands on a corner, nowhere else. The phone I currently have took me a year of dropping it an untold amount of times by accident with a cover that only protects the entire back, sides, and edges sticking a couple - if even that much - mm above the screen, before my screen finally ended up getting a small scrape on it. Granted, I don't know anything about that particular case, and the one I have is - if I remember right - designed to absorb some - or a lot - of the kinetic force upon impact, so it might not be a fair comparison. But my phone still largely only ever landed on the edges or corners before it dropped onto either the back or front, and the few times that it landed on the front - and minus that one time - it also was protected enough to not damage the screen.

Come on - Asus announced the pricing of both models on their announcement stream about 2 weeks ago. Evidently you missed that then

[@minus3dbintheteens60]

For macro cameras, I would like to see a circuit board used to take photos of components to get details unreadable by a pair of 20-20 vision eyes. I adore my OnePlus 7T Pro for the ability to read model numbers of different IC's, transistors, resistors etc.

[@sirmyself]

In canada, do look further than Newegg, please do. They've had jacked up prices since 2019 and any other store is a better buy. You may have good deals, but look elsewhere as well, just to make sure you get the best deal.

[@maidenless2840]

There are literally no games that need this kind of hardware for mobile

[@damienlobb85]

The cooler would be good to test with extended gaming for throttling.

[@bahi9655]

is the AeroActive Cooler 7 compatible with the ROG Phone 6?

[@RannonSi]

9:39 IMO, they should switch those around. 4 (preferably, at least 5) years of OS updates and (then I'd be more willing to accept) 2 years of security updates. And IMO, that should probably include some 'X' amount of those years should start ticking when the company stops selling them. Because putting a phone on the market (as in actively selling it in stores/online) and then have people who bought it new, buying what's essentially a 1-year-phone, isn't OK.

[@ShadowArabesque]

Anyone wants to point out that Genshin can run at 120 fps on at least iPhone and iPad

[@Kirsty_McKay]

I love the new set design, really fresh & colourful.

[@yvannenikolainethercott5709]

As someone who has a very young daughter who often stole my phone to watch her youtube vids while I sleep, the very thin casing ROG Phones offer still offer protection. It has prevented screen cracks, glass cracks, and bends on the aluminum frame numerous times. So no, saying the case is too thing to offer any sort of protection is incorrect. It may not offer the protection that a heavy duty, full case offers, but it still protects from otherwise unfortunate falls that would've otherwise bent the frames or cracked the glass aspects of the phone.

_"I don't know what 3-4cm is..."_ _"I don't speak Freedom Units..."_ Ummm, is there another Standard I should be aware of?

[@AceaIvalia]

The implication is that the person knows no units at all.

[@the_shameless]

I love the short circuit reviews, but I wouldn't mind them being a bit longer to be more accurate 😊. There are a few other reviewers who have much lower temperatures and more stable frame rates/frame times. Also a few of the specs are inaccurate. Very enjoyable review though keep it up

[@jubuttib]

"I love the short circuit reviews, but I wouldn't mind them being a bit longer to be more accurate" They're as short as they are, because they're explicitly not reviews. =)

[@jeff-mo8km]

I agree... It felt rushed... Would've liked to see their inputs on the improved sound with the cooling accesory

[@ProfessionalProfessorPat]

It's crazy to see how just a little work from labs took this from unboxing and impressions to competitive with reviews.

[@NuttyV2]

They will never put more effort than this. As you know that's what the channel is for.

[@Artista_Frustrado]

well is because they aren't reviews, they're first impressions/unboxing videos

[@rednik_9637]

Hi, I would like to know if the cooler fan can be mounted on the rog phone 7, not ultimate, because asus sells it even for the rog phone 7

[@BabyBoyJr.]

yes it can be mounted too bro. GSM Arena made a review on the regular ROG 7 with the cooler attached. There was no difference in temps and performance vs the ultimate version aerocooler attached

[@JohnSmith-rw8uh]

Does the cooler work on the regular 7 too?

[@thomasmann3560]

How's this even possible, I preordered my 6pro and it hasn't even been a year yet now the 7 is here!???

[@gargoyle789]

Can this phone just be available in Canada? I want to buy one so bad but literally can't buy one here 😡

[@oCMSo]

not testing the sub that comes in the cooler?

[@ameliabuns4058]

I wish you showed thermal imaging

[@gabberfe]

Is this the Tencent version or global? Anyone knows what differences are between a tencent and a global one? Thank you

[@BabyBoyJr.]

the tencent version i believe is the cheapest one with 8gb of ram and 256 of storage but is sold only in china... correct me if i am wrong

[@lancelotksh1671]

The sound is not comparable to the s23 ultra and Iphone🙄 Because I am gamer and I didn't noticed that the has a woofer inside the cooler🤣

[@ShadowGirl-]

Uh what are you talking about? S23 can run Genshin 120hz, and so can the latest iphone models.

[@r0galik]

I'm on 2 years old ROG phone 5 and it's still going strong. One of the more useful features is the charging limit that can be set to 80 or 90%. But it has a potentially fatal flaw which may have been deliberately engineered into it: it can easily deform in the middle. Some people had motherboard problems, which became apparent after many months, because of this. I don't know if I'd trust ASUS not to engineer a flaw into a phone again. Also, damn, that inflation in price is wild.

[@go-away-5555]

Don't know the details of this phone, but usually when these kinds of devices deform it's because the high internal heat causes battery swelling

[@r0galik]

@@go-away-5555 no. This one is deformed by bending. Search youtube for the rog phone 5 bend test. It fails and cracks. Mine and the others bend at the same place. Also it's nowhere near the batteries (which are on the upper and lower sides of the phone).

[@user_87342]

​@@r0galikrog 7 survived the bend lol

Ironically, I put an old GPU fan on my Kindle, and it definitely cools the processor down!

[@davidwiley4953]

Is it sad that the most appealing thing on this phone is the headphone jack?

[@Neoxon619]

I’m confused, is this a new set or the old one at a different angle? Either way, I’m not sure about the appeal of gaming phones beyond the raw specs. If you want a good handheld gaming machine, why not go for a Switch or a Steam Deck?

[@KyleRuggles]

Or an Ayn Odin, or a Ayaneo whatever. Gaming phones just doesn't make much sense to me. Like they're not even phones anymore, just call it a gaming slab that you gotta use the touch screen or add some controller to it. I wish ROG did an Android handheld, save some money on all the bells and whistles and just give us a DEDICATED gaming device, not something that doubles as a.. phone...

[@KydeDimaandal]

Because some mobile gamers want to bring the phone only and slip in to their pocket. Not bring around a bag, or have something bulging out of their pockets. A gaming phone is all-in-one.

[@Trio3224]

I have an ROG phone 5. I don`t mobile game at all, ever. I got it because of the specs, like the headphone jack, huge screen, great speakers and no selfie camera notch in the screen. Those are the hardware specs I care about the most in a phone and to me there is no other phone on the market that comes close to the ROG phones, except maybe some Sony phones. But those are usually even more expensive anyways.

For people that want to play on the go but don't want to carry a backpack with them. Isn't that kinda an obvious reason?

They took over what was the warehouse and set up a second SC set. Behind Bell is where the motherboards used to be.

NGL Newegg is a weird sponsor with how they have been. Would have figured they would be on the 'pass' list.
