Asus ROG Phone 7 Reviews

The ROG Phone 7 from ASUS comes with some solid upgrades, especially in performance thanks to its new chipset. On top of that, the refreshed body design and improved display resolution make gaming even more exciting and fun. So, what makes the ROG Phone 7 stand out as a gaming companion? Let’s dive in!

First up, let’s talk about the design. The ROG Phone 7 sports a unique back panel with two-tone accents and a diagonal glossy finish near the camera. The signature RGB ROG logo is placed on a matte surface, giving the phone a bold yet not over-the-top look.

In terms of durability, the phone is IP54 certified, which means it’s resistant to dust and water splashes. That’s actually impressive considering it comes with multiple ports and large speakers, which usually make durability a bit tricky.

The build quality is also top-notch—an aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass 3 on the back, and Gorilla Glass Victus on the front. The curved back panel makes it comfortable to hold for long gaming sessions. As for colors, you’ll get to choose between Phantom Black and Storm White.
