The votes are in, and the entire team has determined the Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate was indeed our favorite Android gaming phone of the year. It was also the most expensive, retailing for $1400. Of course, I'm not shy about how much I like the phone in my review, as it offers a culmination of Asus's gaming experience, resulting in a device clearly tuned for playing the best mobile games, from its front-facing speakers, dual USB-C charging ports, to the unobstructed high framerate screen (no pinhole cameras to be found). Sure, you'll have to pony up a sizeable chunk of change to get such a polished device made for gaming, but for anyone who takes video games seriously, the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate truly is the best of the best smartphones made for gaming we've seen this year.
