Hey Chaps! Would you buy a 'Gaming Phone' like this??

[MichaelStanton]

I'll say it over and over again, if the manufacturer doesn't care enough about their phones to give it updates, then why should I care about their phones?

[ElmarMustafazadeh]

Asus phones are piece of sh**t! My rog phone lost software support just after 2 years of using. Today my phone lost sound and Asus don’t know how to restore it. Factory reset didn’t help. Many people reporting this problem but Asus doesn’t respond and resolve it.

Upgraded Camera.
Upgraded Gaming Performance
Upgraded Screen
Downgraded Battery.
Downgraded Speakers. (Not as loud)
Downgraded Fan (No Subwoofer built in)
So basically Asus Rog Phone 7 is basically better in 3 areas.
The new phone wins in the other areas.

Gaming phone is something moronic in itself. How desperate can you be to need 10% more fps in gaming on a freaking phone when u already have PS5 or a PC. And what games do you play and how do you play them. Delusional people believe in gaming on smartphones.
Buy a fking phone, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME.
SD gen 3 12gb RAM top cameras top screen good battery. Whoever has the best design should win.
As for the ROG 8 it is indeed the lamest gaming phone launch i ve ever seen.😂. It s literally a downgrade from ROG 7

[pooriapouria]

Anything between $650 to $800 would be the right price for the 24gb/1tb.

[NBAGround]

He just accidentally confirmed the leak of Samsung doing 7 years of software updates for the S24 😂

I'm not a gamer but I'm actually intrigued by this phone. If I were in the market for a flagship phone I would certainly consider it, although I would wait 6 months for the inevitable price drop.

[hughw]

A battery downgrade, that's not suppose to happen! 💀💀💀

[manjirojhon]

The design on the back is great. One of the best designed models of all smartphones. But that's it.
I'm disappointed in the model change, which has diluted its identity as a ROG phone.

[Stephanox]

Rog 6 user here. I love the new design on the ROG 8, but the none front facing speakers and smaller battery is a deal breker for me.. Was hoping for at least a 6500mah battery (as the RM 9 pro has). Price also waaay to high. So maybe I'll try out the RM 9 pro, but it is not available in Norway yet..

[youngfigaro]

Redmagic 9 Pro is far better value. £579 compared to £1000 and both ship with the same 8 Gen 3 processor. On top of that, redmagic 9 pro has a better design (imo) so I don't see why anyone would spend almost twice as much for a worse phone.

[benfuller]

My rog phone 8 pro edition comes tomorrow I can't wait hehe. But just to clarify something the aero cooler only comes with the pro edition which is £1299 version. The regular 8 and 8 pro doesn't come with the cooler

Gaming phones are great and I love them however they just aren't good daily driver phones. The Asus rog phones seem to have their own unique issues that makes the phone annoying to use overall. My Asus rog 5 phone is the best phone I have ever used but also the worst. Why you ask well here is the issues I have had:
- The screen randomly turns off while using it (putting the phone on stand by and turning it back on fixes this)
- Fpos/ Pay pass doesn't always work (has caused me A LOT of pain and fustration)
- Wont charge if you wipe the screen with a wet wipe a few times idk why.
- Lags like hell for no reason sometimes.
- Phone gets uncomfortably hot while using it and charging at the same time.
- Sim card keeps disconnecting for no reason (accidently dropping the phone or dropping it from 1cm will cause this to happen and requires you to restart the phone 4 to 6 times, Incredibly fustrating.
- The Amoled screen flickers while using it a lot idk why it's not annoying but it just does it for some reason.
- The camera app/ software is broken so the camera is literally unusable apart from Macro (All pictures must be taken in macro for the phone to focus) camera works fine in apps like messenger, snapchat ect... so feels like a software issue Asus doesn't care about and will never fix. My buddy has the rog 6 ultimate and it has the same issue.
- The sound driver randomly stops working (phone requires a restart to fix) this doesn't happen a lot tho.
- The phone is incredibly weak and will break from literally 1 drop and that's with a good quality case.
There are more issues but I cant think of them rn so overall this is why I'm going over to Samsung so hopefully a more reliable phone or maybe the Rog 8 is great and should be my next phone? doubt it.

[johnnygadget]

Rog 7 looks more futuristic. I wonder why they went with a more traditional look with the 8.

[雪アンアン]

This design is no longer for gamers. And even poco f5 pro has better reso than this and far less money for it. No need for top end processor as the apps cannot compete with the new cpus. So having even a prev flagship processor is good, this and the toned down triggera and back screen and others, is just a screaming reasons to not get this garbish, better with poco or redmagic.

[yeshuagreen]

Do not buy it's defective trigger screen pressure will mess your game up please wait for fix !! These guys haven't played the phone enough to notice!!!

[platelet]

honestly the phone 7 ultimate would be a better option due to you most likely not needing the extra cores and keeping the old battery capacity
but even a fee months after release, the ultimate versions practically went out of stock and some retailers even blantly sells it as much or even more than the phone 8 pro
js dropped and broke my phone 5's lcd and had to look for a new rog phone (i was a sucker for the phone 7's design js cuz i mainly used the phone 5 as my first brand new phone after lineages of used passed down phones)
the old phone 7 512gb is also hard to find and ordering it even takes 10days from my local retailer so basically gonna take as long as getting it online (buyin from retailers does have the benefits of them providing the rma services done by them but if you dont mind the hastle of self reverse pickup for rma that wont be an issue but personally with the phone 5 not a fun experience with 3 rma requests to date)
i have a friend whose able to properly get the phone 8 pro from a retailer for me so that was the option i went with but phone 7 ultimate would be a good call depending on your budget (the phone 7 ultimate i last had a price on was a solid 100$ more than the phone 8 pro)

[ARTrPower]

It is has deffinitely best performance. But ither features, like Samsung s24 ultra has.
I am choosing between this phone ans s24 ultra.
Samsung has greater cameras. But asus has greater performance and desugn... triggers... Greater.
BTW now I am using asus 5s.

[tyronecummins]

So which one should I buy the ROG phone 7 ultimate from last year or the new ROG phone 8 pro edition
