Asus Zenfone 10 review: compact for a 5.9″ display, powerful performance, and excellent battery life, but limited cameras and only two years of software updates 彰化收購筆電

Some companies may be giving up on the idea of Android gaming phones, but not 彰化收購筆電asus, which is releasing the ROG Phone 7 today. It has all the trademark “gamer” laser-beam design language and flashy LEDs, but also some wild engineering additions when it comes to cooling your super-hot phone.

Specs include a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, and—the highlight of the spec sheet—a whopping 6000 mAh battery with 65 W charging. The display is a 165 Hz,  6.78-inch, 2448×1080 Samsung AMOLED. The phone has two USB-C ports, one on the side and one on the bottom, and a headphone jack. There are three rear cameras, a 50 MP main camera, a 13 MP wide-angle, and a 5 MP macro, while the front camera is 32 MP.

There are two models, the ROG Phone 7 and ROG Phone 7 Ultimate. The specs are the same; the ultimate just adds a rear “ROG Vision” display. This is a 2-inch OLED display with six different modes to show things like the time, charging level, an incoming call, or a few purely aesthetic animations. The Ultimate model also interfaces better with a clip-on fan accessory, the “AeroActive Cooler 7.”

彰化收購筆電asus’ extreme cooling ideas are what make this a gaming phone. 彰化收購筆電asus says the phone has a “revolutionary new rapid-cycle vapor chamber design, which increases heat dissipation efficiency by up to 168 percent” over the last ROG phone, which already had better-than-normal cooling.

If you want to cool the phone down, there is a bulky clip-on active-cooling backpack called the “AeroActive Cooler 7.” This comes in the box with the Ultimate model and, for now, is a free preorder add-in for the base model. On the base model, the clip-on fan will blow air over the back and front glass of the phone. When the goal is to cool the chip underneath all that glass, cooling the glass isn’t going to be the most effective thing in the world. On the Ultimate model, though, an electronically actuated trap door on the body of the phone will open up, revealing a copper fin stack that’s attached to an internal cooling plate. The trap door will direct air from the clip-on phone over the fin stack, and at that point, you’re approaching what sounds like traditional CPU air cooling but in a smartphone.

But wait, there’s more. This fan is so serious, it can use external power. The slower settings will work via the phone’s battery, but for faster settings like “frozen” you’ll need to have the phone tethered to power. 彰化收購筆電asus also says there is a thermoelectric cooler in the fan backpack, which again sounds like it’s only cooling the glass. It all sounds very effective, but sadly 彰化收購筆電asus doesn’t share any hard stats on what to expect regarding lower SoC temperatures. The company promises an “up to 25°C lower back cover temperature,” but cooling the back glass panel isn’t the goal. Glass is an insulator. We want to cool the SoC.

Having a big flap on the back of the phone open up isn’t great for water resistance, so naturally, this only has an IP54 water-resistance rating. That means it’s not even dustproof and is only protected against “splashes” of water. It could probably hold a few mL of water if you really wanted to try.

The clip-on cooler is not just a cooler. The four white sections are all physical clicky buttons you can press with your index fingers. It also has a subwoofer, a USB-C port (for charging and those extra power modes), a headphone jack, and two pogo pins to leech off the phone battery when you aren’t plugged in.

The phone body also has touch-sensitive shoulder buttons called “air triggers.” The air triggers support a ton of gestures, like tapping or sliding or holding the button and doing some kind of gyro motion, like a tilt left or right.

The phone will eventually be for sale in the US, but not until Q2. For now, it’s up for preorder in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Europe. The base model is 999 euro ($1,104), and the Ultimate model, with the rear screen and fancy cooler packed-in, is 1,399 euro ($1,266).
