 Overview of the Asus ROG Phone 7 and the verdict

Can we suggest the ROG Phone 7? Yes... a few folks. It should be quite clear who those are: gamers and tech nerds.

The phone's branding and design are clear about who it is intended.

However, we also value the fact that during the previous 12 months,

software updates and camera enhancements have improved these phones' suitability for "generic" use.

After all, if you are going to spend a lot of money on a phone

it would be nice if it could be listed alongside Samsung and Pixel.
