They have introduced ray tracing on their devices which will enable gamers to have the most enhanced and detailed gaming experiences they can get on a smartphone device.

Both devices have the same core specifications. We’ll come to the added features in the Ultimate edition later. Firstly, the devices are powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen2. Moreover, the display is a 6.78″ FHD+ Super AMOLED panel with a whopping 165Hz refresh rate. The panel also has Gorilla Glass Victus protection. ASUS has used LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage in the devices. The regular ROG Phone 7 weighs 239 grams while the Ultimate edition weighs 246 grams.
Furthermore, there is a 6000 mAh cell that can be charged via a USB-C port at 65 watts. Moving on to the camera system, the devices have a triple-camera setup at the rear which comprises a main 50MP sensor. In addition, the other two sensors have a resolution of 13MP and 5MP respectively. The front selfie shooter is a 32MP Omnivision lens.

Enhanced Gaming on ROG Phone 7 Series
ASUS has integrated its GameCool 7 cooling system. It consists of dual graphite sheets which enhance the thermal dissipation by 10% in terms of efficiency.
