Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate

Name: Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate
Brand: Asus

Worth it if…Worth it, with caveats.

The fastest Android phone, with huge battery life, loud speakers and fast charging, but not enough to make an iPhone user switch.

What I liked

Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.

“the Ultima is over $200 more expensive than the Basse phone for little things like a little vent at the back”

“it took 12 hours and 18 minutes to get there which frankly is insane”

Most recent first, so you can see if my view has changed.

The BEST Smartphones of 2023!
Cool extras like a rear vent and second OLED display, but not worth over $200 more than the base model.
