Of course, all of this is packaged in a simple, elegant package that retails for Rs 42,999, making this quite a good deal.

2. ASUS ROG Phone 6

Another older, yet still brilliant smartphone, the ROG Phone 6 boasts of features and gaming prowess that many of today’s phones struggle to match. This includes an AMOLED touchscreen with a 165hz refresh rate, support for a whopping 10 billion colours, a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, Adreno 730 graphics, and up to 16GB of RAM for lag-free gaming and multitasking.

While the camera setup is largely similar, the selfie camera gets a big upgrade to 32MP. It’s a great gaming phone and is available for Rs 74,999.

4. ROG Phone 7 Ultimate

Available for Rs 99,999, the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate is a significant step up from the ROG Phone 7. The hardware is essentially the same, but the Ultimate edition phone ups the ante with a motorised cooling vent called the AeroActive Portal, and a secondary 2-inch OLED on the back so everyone knows that yours isn’t a normal phone. This might not seem like much, but that Portal is a game changer (literally), as it allows the phone’s internals to cool at a much higher rate, in turn allowing you to game at max performance for far longer than most phones can manage.

5. ROG Phone 8 Pro

Lastly, you have the current ASUS flagship phone, the ROG Phone 8 Pro. This one takes everything to the next level — even the price tag, to Rs 1,09,999. First up you have the display, which now hits a whopping 2,500nits of peak brightness and can sustain 1,600 nits. Then you have the chipset which is an upgraded Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and of course the RAM and storage which now go all the way up to 24GB and 1TB respectively. That’s more than what you’ll find on most gaming laptops!

The cameras get a huge boost in the quality department, storage is faster, the design is better, the phone is now dust and water-resistant (IP68), and there’s now an array of 341 LEDs that you can fully program to display any text, animation, or logo. This is a really cool phone at a high price, but for a gamer on the lookout for a snazzy new phone, it’s one that also has no equal!

ASUS offers a much larger portfolio of phones globally, but the ones currently available in India are primarily their premium gaming offering. These are great phones, and while expensive, offer features and design that few other smartphones in India can match.
