ASUS ROG Phone 7: technical sheet on Geekbench
Not only the benchmark, but also the certification from the Chinese 3C body seems to indicate that the ROG Phone 7 is now close to launch, at least in China. In fact, certifications are usually the last step before a new device is released.

According to the benchmark on GeekBench, the ROG Phone 7 will have one Snapdragon 8 Gen2 by Qualcomm as a chipset (so, nothing abandonment of Qualcomm resources?), which would make it able to compete with the MediaTek Dimension 9200 of the "D" version of the same smartphone. The SoC will have a primary core with a maximum frequency of 3,19 GHz and a base frequency of 2,8 GHz, while its GPU will be a Adreno 740, perfect for gaming.
The device should have 16 GB of RAM and Android 13 pre-installed, although the arrival of a variant with 12 GB of RAM is not excluded. In terms of score, the device achieves an excellent result, with 2.022 points in Single-Core and 5.719 points in Multi-Core, positioning itself among the best performing smartphones in recent months.
