It's almost like taking a life decision while choosing between mkbhd and Arun when they upload at the same time.

Okay, but I literally cant change my phone because im too broke.

The ROG phones have two USB ports. On the ROG 7, the side port is for fast charging. You used the slower bottom port. It also appears you didn't have X-mode turned on. When X Mode is turned on, it improves hardware efficiency and removes background apps to release memory, in order to optimize gaming experience. Someone didn't read the manual first.

"Look how good the camera is" Me: watching on 144p😁👍👍👍

We really need a third phone OS to shake up the market 🤔

The amount of detailing Asus have done with ROG this time is INSANE.

Finally, I will be able to play my Candy Crush at 600 fps with my 1400 dollars phone

I think you should also do a test with older phones to see how they behave over time. I have a P6P and for several months the zoom camera no longer focuses except in daylight. Wasn't it normal to work the same as on the first day? In addition, I could give maximum zoom to make a kind of macro with her help, now she tells me to back off if I want her to focus. What guarantees do those with P7P have that they will not suffer the same next year after the release of P8P? And so on.

Good comparison video, but the choice of game for the gaming test was very strange. You don't choose a CPU intensive game to test the GPU and FPS numbers (unless that game has an option to pass the calculations to the GPU). There are some games that depend on CPU a lot, but most games usually are GPU-bound.

Doing benchmarks with and without the cooler would have been nice. Just to also see how much the cooler changes.

So for the bloons test, a GPU's job is to prep the graphical aspects of the game (what you can see). The CPU does everything that you can't see. If the CPU benchmarks showed that the iPhone was ahead, then it's natural that the iPhone would do a better job on Bloons where there are millions of calculations to do that are CPU bound. That's why there was more lag present on the ROG phone in comparison. I don't know if there are enough graphically intensive games on the phones that would allow for the ROG to show how strong it is yet, which is why I don't think the overall gaming performance on a phone matters that much current gen but I don't play many mobile games so.

Makes me laugh to see that the iPhone 14PM battery run time is the exact same time as the time Steve Jobs presented the first iPhone, which is 9:41

I like watching things i can't afford 😭

0:48 "Don't even think about it editors" *does it anyway; love it when Arun doesn't have control of everything 🤣

Love how you left the sponsor part at the end, love it!

bro should be a comedian, his puns always get me rolling on the ground

My jaw DROPPED when I saw the battery test. Great video Arun! 👍

Not having to skip the entry of videos is a big plus and this guy manages to do it, I never get bored watching his videos, he explains so detailed and in an entertaining way, good job my man

I heard the rog Pro has an iOS that may be only a 2-year contract . They are not sure if they will contract for more. Meaning no updates.

when watching the internet test, I was amazed at how low both turned out to be, Idk if its the US or if its just me but got almost 400 mbps download

1:49 he got me there... 🤣🤣

Lmao the irony at 4:05 when he said "you won't ROG-RET IT" i instantly got an ad of a car model named "Rogue"😂😂

Hey Can you please do a vs between the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate and the Samsung S23 Ultra? I Really wanna know which I should be buying. Also, I hope for performance and games you will test out Minecraft Bedrock on max settings and maybe even with the parallax shaders mod. Not the parallax blocks, just the shaders. I'm really curious on which one would be better and which one I should buy

Ozarks is an absolutely beautifully shot show. If ya watch it in DoVi on any high end display, it's absolutely stunning. Yeah, it's mastered at low nit levels as it's a theme of the show... it's a dark show, with an overcast tone throughout, with times they change the color grading, like the Mexico scenes and what not. Idk if 2000 nits is a requirement to watch Ozarks as intended...the grade doesn't even go that high...the aspect that will help with Ozarks is good and accurate shadow detail, along with good EOTF tracking/tone mapping, and a decent dynamic range. If I can enjoy Ozarks on a WRGB OLED....I can definitely enjoy it on a 1500 or 2000 nit AMOLED, and enjoy the cinematography and hard work that went into that beautifully graded show. Even game or thrones doesn't require a super bright display...maybe if you're trying to watch in broad daylight, but that would be a outright mistake, and any serious cinema watcher wouldn't make such a mistake... Is GoT and "The Battle at Winterfell" even shot in HDR? Truly, I can't remember, but watching it when it came out, it was definitely SDR...Even then, I could still enjoy that show and battle, even on a "budget"/midrange TCL r625 FALD QLED I was watching it on at the time, before going OLED. Had no issues viewing that either...so all I'm sayin, is if a 100 zone "budget" FALD QLED that waa hovering right around 1,000 nits peak, and didn't have the best FALD algorithm can do those shows justice, a 1500-2000 nit AMOLED with true black, vibrant colors with amazing color gamut coverage and color conversions...great dynamic range, etc....sure can do those shows justice as well... A better use case for the high peak brightness is in movies and shows that utilize such luminance levels...think of movies like "The Matrix" graded in HDR. Mad Mad Fury Road. Aquaman..Gemini Man..Starship Troopers..Bridge on the River Kwai..Pacific Rim... You get the point I hope. I could keep going, but those high nit grades are rare, as mastering monitors aren't really going past 5,000 nits on a average. At least fme...

That was a great, really well-rounded comparison. A little unfortunate that you weren't aware that increasing objects in a game like that is actually totally a CPU-specific task though lol. Really doesn't have much to do with graphics at all. Not a lot of games would have that type of bottleneck

7:51 cat yawn 😍

ROG designs just look beyond great.

The Bionic chip CPU will always lead the pack, might fall behind in terms of GPU. That ROG phone is perfect for playing Minecraft with 64 (max) chunks render distance while maintaining 60fps (as it has 16GB of superfast ram)

for the gaming category at the very least you should talk about the experience. Extra trigger buttons, stereo separation, sustained performance and fps stability, heat, etc. What you did was basically like a cpu benchmark.

I use the rog 6 and find it to be one of the best phones I have ever used. It's great for gaming using the trigger buttons and pretty good as an all rounder. Will definitely look into getting one of these ones.

You should have tested multiple games because like you said for benchmarks, the games were running different lines of code and if the results were consistent for multiple games then you could give the point to ROG or iphone

After you said “you won’t rog-ret it” an ad played for me and it was a curry’s add for the galaxy z flip 5... 4:04

3:55 6000 mAh, no mercy.

Phones evolve, but the quality of Arun's content evolves even faster.

You have to test internet speed and latency of ROG phone when in X mode, it has dual band wifi which works only then

Bro I love everything you do and also your catch phrase is always dope

As someone who has worked in packaging and high end commercial printing my whole life, I was in awe and rewatched the first min.... a few times.

3:40 Android finally did this at an unexpected moment

I am gona be your subscriber, because beside the good work on techs, you got some style and taste. Pretty rare!

Love the vids. When are you reviewing the new ROG Phone 8 and Red Magis 9 Pro?

Categories you missed: - long term full load - PROPER INTERNET TEST. You tested 2 phones on same router. It was decided by router which phone would receive more packets - Thermal test: which would be cooler during charging and under heavy load - construction strength and Repairability

12:35 I think that the fact that the DDTs and Cermaic popped into pink bloons lead to it being slower. On the iPhone one, we did not even see any ceramics

Forget the shark VPN what's that keyboard tho

Bro the phone costs more than my house

12:45 You literally have the whole PSP, PS1, PS2, will, Dreamcast, and many more libraries to play on android. They are infinitely better than the 5 fps game available on iOS.

3:30 iPhone battery be like

Hey! i like your videos now from a long time, and i follow you on five accounts! Now on this one too. But i have one question. Where do you buy the ROG phone? Thank you and i apprechiate your content!

I've seen iPhone 14 pro max lagging while playing asphalt legend at max graphics and it goes to less than 10fps. So I think performance, gaming goes to Rog

the last game was a CPU intensive task because its 2D and requires calculations linearly, ofcourse apple wins it because of faster CPU, but in terms of what actually defines a modern game like genshin impact is the amount of parallel processing done to render 3D which is so much better in this generation of androids than on apple, just by seeing the GPU benchmark you can say its generations ahead

Something that I have seen about the Performance of the RoG with the fan, is not that ir made it's perform better, it makes it that the performance doesn't degrade with time because of heat like s lot of phones do, which is really good if you are playing 4 hours of Genshin in your phone.

I feel like the benchmarking was done unfairly. Yes, Iphone's CPU was better, but it's all about which phone performs best in general. You can't just say "Well because the iPhone has a better CPU, but the ROG phone has better overall spec and outperforms the iPhone in multiple tests, it's a draw."

The second screen on the rog should have a ticker tape option for custom messages and notifications.

The fact that Arun puts in much effort in the video is so enticing I don't think there is any other tech UKpostsr who moves around explaining every single bit of the phone as this guy

If you are testing the wifi speeds simultaneously, then you will probably get unreliable results, it will depend on how your router divides up the bandwidth more than it will depend on the capabilities of the phone.

To be honest both cpu are good enough to not notice any difference exept in games but games use more gpu nowadays so the performance is still better I feel like the ROG got a dub there

Well, all and all good comparison but I wanted to see heavy lifting being done like emulation and heavy 3d games

Just wanted to lyk, i love watching these comparison videos!! Really helps u understand the difference and it's genuinely fun. But I feel like if you were to rate the phones in addition to picking between the two for each category, it would give them a better overall comparison (even if that score is somewhere in the corner). For example, lets say u give one phone a 8 and another a 7.5 for one category and for the next category u give the first phone a 2 and the second one a 9. If u just simply pick between them it might show that they are equal, but when u compare the total scores u will see a big difference!!

Hey Arun , been watching you for a while now , learnt alot from you , I just wanted to say thanks and never stop posting videos❤

when use aerocooler you should plug to charging

this rog phone is 1400 and adds stuff in the box iPhone 15 is 1300 and they take shit out the box😂 shit is crazy

Fun fact: This guy always puts different locations for the phones while testing the displays (for privacy of course).

No one uploads as consistently and with this much care and quality out there bro. Love the videos.

I got an iPhone 15 advertisement 💀

Me watching the videos taken in the phones in UKposts in really low quality and thinking that the phone camera quality is bad.

4:36 "...and the iphone, well, technically zero watts. It doesn't come with a chareger." 😆

3:09 yeah my redmagic does this as well, it stays at 100% for half an hour after unplugging it and then starts to drop more quickly after that

Not sure if the battery charging test is particularly accurate, i have a 14 pro and hook it up to one of the new USB-C cube like chargers and i have it charged up in 30-40 mins

He should have done a sustained performance test. I heard the bionic chipset throttles pretty quickly and The rog 7 would have probably come out on top.

I think the benchmarks on the rog should have been done with both the cooler on and cooler off, and see the difference and how it compares with the iPhone. Despite the cooler coming in the box, you’re not going to be using it all the time, and so I think it would be important to know

Would love to see some dedicated videos on the budget-midrange range phones, ones which primarily use the Qualcomm SnapDragon 870 or Mediatek Dimensity 8100.

As much as agree that the cooler comes with the phone, a benchmark without cooling is DEFINITELY warranted. This was an incredibly great video but that benchmark oversight gave this video a hit on credibility and accuracy. While I do think I can find a video elsewhere that can talk about that, I rely on mainstream youtubers for benchmarks since I do know that their testing is quite rigorous. Still an 11/10 for me (especially since I'm not a phone guy) but I hope future videos can address this.

Despite the comparison, all I can do here is watch and drool as I can never own even 1 of em😂

The color correction (or whatever you call it) in this video is significantly better than your older videos, which looked overly vivid and saturated sometimes. As always, very informational and entertaining review.

Also keep in mind, the audio difference isn't nearly as big as it is irl, you're hearing two different sources but it's through the same speaker. When actually using the two phones, you hear the difference much more

Only if Apple comes out with their own gaming phone

Can iphone download hungry shark part 1

comparing one game for cpu isn't ideal as they are both not written in the same languages and would end up compiled differntly due to the chip arcitecture. I'd do a few games to test cpu bottlenecks.

The rog phone unboxing is more interesting than my life story😢

bro is an apple meat rider

9:58 If you notice, they are not the same versions of Antutu, on my iPhone 14 Pro it reaches 1,500,000 points in Antutu

If you run both speed tests at the same time, the speed will drop by a lot. You should also check wether or not the phones are on the same Wi-Fi frequency/technology.

1:00 Arun Is Body Builder 😳

The selected game for gaming round is definitely not fit for purpose. Not only one game is insuficient for a verdict on gaming performance, it is also one that only loads the CPU...plus all the gaming features of the rog were not even mentioned in this round.

what iphone are you using for comparrison. note theres bigger battery etc. in the pro max version off the iphone and looks a lot like the regular sized iphone you are using ?

2:53 "how to install reshade for GTA 5 lol, that's definitely for that laptop video!

I have the ROG 6 Pro and again, I wouldnt change it for anything. There are some features that are (I find) hugely beneficial with this ROG. It has a headphone jack. There is a usb -c port in the side of the phone also for charging. The ability that when playing games with the charger plugged in, you can bypass charging the battery and power the game that you are playing only. There are two pressure shoulder buttons on the side of the phone that can be programmed for use outside of gaming. I have one of them to turn on the torch and the other to record audio at any moment. There is also the option to have the phone record all the calls that you make and receive without third party nonsense. Double tapping the back of the phone is also a programmable setting to active functions such as screenshot/record/light/multimedia etc. Not to mention the asus software for all these hardware perks, is simply on point. Can't fault it.

Switch the ROG setting to X-Mode or Dynamic and compare the performance with the iPhone again 👍🏻👍🏻

Looking At The ROG Phone Makes Me Feel Like Building A Real Time Machine To Time Travel To The Future Just To Get A Sneak Peak Of What Gaming Will Be Like

5:19 just wondering for the iPhone whether optimised battery charging is turned on? and the always on "MAY" be slowing the charging speed. just saying

Seeing the battery test done was great but it would be great if you did the massive comparisons again between flagships etc

If you and Apple, make a phone you should put shoulder buttons on it like on a controller and you should make the phone play any game

People have Library of Books, this guys has Library of Devices 😂🔥13:26

There's massive room for improvement in test methodology you have followed for each of your tests. For instance, when batteries are different capacity you have to rely on dynamic discharge current and charge current capacities. etc.. for comparing wifi tests again you could have connected one phone at a time to same wifi and completely turn off your other devices that use internet and also looking at which phone is clocking to 2.4/5G bandwidths more so overall good video but definitely coming from a tech savvy person like you would make a difference if these things are taken care of whilst doing one on one comparison.

Thank you for all of the 🔥 videos you make. I can always trust you to give the best product review on the internet. 🎉

Bloons TD is more CPU relient, so you should have done some other games as well

Honestly both are very dope. I can see the appeal for the ROG phone for those power users who need all that battery and performance. Personally it’s a little flashy tbh. I love the square edges of the iPhone and how the screen doesn’t have almost any border. It’s just so clean. I feel like of ROG went with something simple like that I would definitely be game.

You should really do the S23 Ultra vs iPhone 14 Pro Max performance test. It has a shocking result and is more realistic. A flagship regular consumer phone vs flagship regular consume phone Edit : I'm not defending the iPhone, I'd like for Arun to show the people who flex the iphone with old generalizations of "android has worse performance, it takes a gaming phone to beat iphones" that Samsung now performs better

The jump from the Last ROG Phone in camera quality is genuinely impressive. The camera was the main quality holding th last phone back, and they seem to have fixed it. The ROG Phone 7 Ultimate is like the unofficial Android Final Boss now.

The fps boost is way more important for games like cod mobile, the difference is very noticeable there

thank you for your informative video. Puts out any doubt on your mind
