The Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate has a similar design to the ROG Phone 6 Pro, with some minor differences in the styling of the back cover.
The back of the phone has a geometric camera bump and lines of faux seams between panels, giving it a robotic appearance.
The ROG Phone 7 Ultimate features a POLED display on the back to display call notifications and various device status indicators.
The phone has a pearly two-tone finish of Gorilla Glass 3 on the rear, which looks gorgeous.
The front of the phone is covered in Gorilla Glass Victus, and the phone has an IP54 rating, making it more rugged than the ROG Phone 6.
The AeroActive Portal is a special slot on the back of the phone that opens up to enhance cooling by exposing heatsink fins on the chipset.
The ROG Phone 7 Ultimate supports the AeroActive Cooler 7 accessory, which blows cool air through the fin stack to improve cooling.
The phone has two touch-sensitive trigger zones on the right edge that can be mapped to on-screen controls.
The phone has a 6.78-inch display with a 2448 x 1080 resolution, a 165Hz refresh rate, and excellent front-facing speakers.
The phone comes running Android 13 and has little extra software packed in beyond the Armoury Crate app, which is essential for getting extra performance and gaming features out of this phone.
