This morning, two Asus devices with the model numbers ASUS_AI2205_A and ASUS_AI2205_B were listed on Chinese 3C certification. According to sources, both devices belong to the ROG Phone 7, but only their regions differ. The one with A in the end, belongs to the global variant, while the second one is the Chinese variant.
Both devices use the same traditional 65W charger that ASUS already used in its ROG Phone 6 series. The charger supports charging in the following modes: 16.25-65W, 15W, 27W, 36W, and 45W.
Other than that, the 3C certification doesn’t leak much more. However, previous leaks suggest that the ROG Phone 7 series will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset (except for the ROG Phone 7D). This SoC is the best option for Android smartphones at the moment.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is based on TSMC’s 2nd-generation 4nm manufacturing process and features the following cores: 1x Cortex-X3 core, 2x Cortex-A715 cores, 2x Cortex-A710 cores and 3x Cortex-A510 cores.
There are three models in the ROG Phone 7 series, including the ROG Phone 7, ROG Phone 7D, and the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate. These models will feature an AMOLED display and run the latest Android 13 operating system. Additionally, the ROG Phone 7 and 7D will have a maximum storage capacity of 16+256GB, while the Ultimate version will have 16+512GB.
Currently, the information regarding the ROG Phone 7 series is very minimal. However, the launch is expected in the third quarter of 2023.
