The durability test of the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate begins with Zack breaking open the plastic window of the AeroActive cooler which opens the AeroActive portal’s flap. It gives a better look at the copper fins inside the device. Then the ASUS ROG Phone 7 Ultimate undergoes the scratch test. The screen is shielded by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus and it produces scratches and deeper grooves at levels 6 and 7.

The side frame of the ASUS ROG Phone 7 Ultimate is made up of aluminum. It also has ultra-sonic trigger buttons and Blue-tinted buttons. The scrape test does show scratches on the side frame. After this, the gaming smartphone is subjected to a fire test. It withstands the flames for 30 seconds after which it turns White. Notably, the screen returns to normal once the dead pixels are restored.

At last, the ASUS ROG Phone 7 Ultimate finally undergoes the bend test. It refuses to snap from both sides even after putting an ample amount of pressure. This is good news since the ROG Phone 5 and 6 both snapped under pressure.
