After a few months, the ASUS ROG Phone 7 is finally available in the US for consumers to buy. This is the latest gaming smartphone from ASUS, featuring next-gen advancements in mobile gaming hardware.

The ROG Phone 7 series was officially announced back in mid-April. But ASUS didn’t mention when it would be available for purchase in the US. Only suggesting that it would be sometime later this year. Turns out that time is today. Consumers interested in a gaming smartphone have a handful of options, however none measure up to what ASUS offers.

In our review we called the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate a “mobile gaming powerhouse.” And that’s exactly what it is. Featuring 16GB of RAM, a 6,000mAh battery, and the latest mobile chipset platform from Qualcomm. It also has features that have been a staple on the device series since the early days. Like the AirTriggers. For a smartphone, there’s a lot of tech packed into a small package. And if you take your mobile gaming seriously, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better option. All of that comes at a price though.

The ROG Phone 7 starts at $999 in the US

ASUS has always charged quite a lot for its flagship gaming devices. Its mobile phones are no different. The phone comes in two different models. The standard and the ultimate model. The standard model also has two configurations. One with 12GB of RAM and another with 16GB. The 12GB RAM model will start at $999 which is no small sum for a smartphone.

If you want more RAM, you can bump up to the 16GB option for $1,099. This model also goes from 256GB of storage to 512GB. So you get a little more room for games and other stuff. If you want the flagship, then go for the ultimate which will cost you $1,299. Feature-wise, there’s nothing different between this model and the 16GB standard model except for the display on the back. It does also come bundled with the latest AeroActive Cooler though. Whereas you need to buy this separately with all standard models of the phone.

The ROG Phone 7 and ROG Phone 7 Ultimate can be picked up from Amazon via pre-order starting today. You can also buy them directly from ASUS with no pre-order wait times.
