Display Comparison

The Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate boasts a brighter display, reaching a measured 1095 nits, providing superior visibility in direct sunlight compared to the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro (brightness data unavailable). While both likely utilize AMOLED panels, the ROG Phone’s infinite contrast ratio suggests a more refined visual experience. The ROG Phone’s larger form factor also allows for a more immersive viewing experience, though the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro may offer a more manageable size for one-handed use. Details regarding the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro’s refresh rate and PWM dimming are needed for a complete assessment of display quality and eye comfort.

Camera Comparison

Both devices feature capable camera systems, but detailed specifications are limited. The ROG Phone 7 Ultimate’s camera is described as offering both Photo and Video capabilities, suggesting a versatile setup. The Redmi Turbo 4 Pro’s camera specs are currently unknown, making a direct comparison difficult. Without sensor size, aperture, and image processing details, it’s challenging to assess image quality. It’s likely the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate will offer more advanced camera features and potentially better low-light performance, given its positioning as a flagship device.

Performance

The Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (4nm) historically delivers higher peak performance than the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 (4nm). However, the 8s Gen 4’s architecture – featuring a Cortex-X4 prime core – aims to close the gap, particularly in single-core tasks. The ROG Phone 7 Ultimate benefits from a mature software optimization for gaming, while the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro’s performance will depend on Xiaomi’s software tuning. Both utilize a 4nm process, but the ROG Phone’s larger chassis allows for a more substantial cooling solution, mitigating thermal throttling during extended gaming sessions. The ROG Phone’s LPDDR5x RAM paired with the 8 Gen 2 will also contribute to faster data access.

Battery Life

Both phones share an endurance rating of 131 hours, suggesting comparable real-world battery life despite differing battery capacities (data unavailable for Redmi Turbo 4 Pro). However, the charging speeds differ significantly. The Redmi Turbo 4 Pro’s 90W wired charging is considerably faster than the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate’s 65W charging, promising a quicker top-up. The Redmi Turbo 4 Pro also offers 22.5W reverse wired charging, a feature absent or limited to 10W on the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate. This makes the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro more versatile for charging accessories.

Buying Guide

Buy the Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Pro if you need a powerful, all-around smartphone with fast charging and a modern chipset without breaking the bank. It’s ideal for daily tasks, social media, and casual gaming. Buy the Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate if you prioritize an uncompromising gaming experience, demanding sustained peak performance, and benefit from features like AirTriggers and a robust cooling system, even if it comes at a premium.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Does the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 in the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro throttle under sustained gaming loads?
While the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is a powerful chip, its thermal performance will depend heavily on Xiaomi’s cooling solution.
