Critics & buyers

What reviewers say
Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?
Reviewers praise
- Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset delivers top-tier benchmark performance with significant gains over the previous generation
- Large silicon-carbon battery with 120W fast charging fills from empty to full in roughly 35 minutes and lasts a full day of heavy use
- Bright, sharp LTPO OLED display with adaptive refresh rate, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ support
Reviewers push back
- Severe thermal throttling under sustained gaming or benchmarking — the device becomes uncomfortably hot to hold
- Software update commitment is shorter than direct rivals, offering fewer OS upgrades and security patch years
- Ultra-wide camera is only 8 MP and produces soft, inferior results compared to the main and telephoto lenses
The Realme GT 7 Pro is a powerful flagship with a brilliant display, excellent battery life, and fast charging, but it runs hot under load and its software support and camera consistency disappoint at its tier.
Reviewers praise
- Significantly slimmer and lighter body makes it usable as a daily phone without the bulk of previous gaming phones
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 delivers exceptional gaming performance with air triggers and X mode providing genuine competitive advantages
- IP68 water resistance and wireless charging add mainstream flagship features previously missing from the line
Reviewers push back
- Display remains 1080p when other flagships offer higher resolution
- Speakers lost some bass and front-firing design compared to previous generation
- Air triggers downgraded from ultrasonic to simpler sensors that no longer support swipes or long presses
ASUS successfully transformed the ROG Phone into a practical flagship that retains serious gaming credentials while fixing past design and feature compromises.
Heating severity divides reviewers: one calls it the hottest phone in recent memory and impossible to hold, while others note throttling but find the temperatures within acceptable flagship norms
One reviewer found the speaker downgrade minimal while another emphasized the loss of bass and front-firing configuration
