The Asus ROG Phone 7 256GB is ASUS's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.78 inches, 109.5 cm2 (~82.2% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM8550-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (4 nm) chipset. It comes with a 6000 mAh battery. At AED 5,500 in the UAE and ₹54,999 in India, it sits firmly in the flagship tier.
The Asus ROG Phone 7 excels with its 6000mAh battery delivering 131 hours of endurance and 65W wired charging that refills 100% in 42 minutes—unmatched for marathon gaming sessions. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, with its 3.2 GHz Cortex-X3 core, sustains high frame rates in Genshin Impact and Call of Duty without throttling. NFC and 5G support across 19 bands ensure seamless connectivity in UAE and India. But thermals degrade after 45 minutes of sustained 120fps play, forcing performance drops. In UAE at AED 5500, it’s competitive because no rival offers this battery-charging combo under AED 6000. In India at ₹54999, it’s overpriced: the Redmi K70 Pro delivers near-identical performance at ₹45999 with better cooling and a 120Hz AMOLED display. This phone is for hardcore mobile gamers who prioritize battery life and wired speed over thermal consistency and premium design.
