INSTANT UPGRADES ASUS ROG PHONE 7

FIRST ADD THESE...

ONE

UGREEN NEXDDE 140W WALL CHARGER 

Fast-charge your beloved ROG Phone 7 and set its AeroActive Cooler to 'frosty' with this three-port power pumper. With zippy 140W charging from one USB-C port, 100W from the other and 22.5W from the USB-A, you can fuel up a pair of headphones and a MacBook Pro as well as your phone, all while gaming at full pelt.

TWO

NACON MG-X PRO 

It's a crying shame the BackBone One doesn't fit the ROG Phone 7... or is it? The Nacon MG-X Pro is a more versatile controller with USB-C and Bluetooth wireless playback. It's perfectly optimised for Xbox Game Pass and Nvidia GeForce Now; download the PSPlay app (see panel) and it'll even work with PS Remote Play.

£129/nacongaming.com

THREE

SHURE AONIC 3 

Take advantage of that headphone output and enjoy some latency-free listening- and superb sound isolation - as you blast your way to victory with these wired earphones. They're light and comfy, the mic ensures call quality is on point, and the inline controls save you from having to pull out your phone when you want to skip a track.

NOW TRY THIS...

1 CRACK THE CRATE 

Your Asus handset's most powerful gaming tool is the Armoury Crate app. Open up this toolbox to access all your games, manage what the shoulder buttons do, switch between performance modes, swap out what your ROG Vision theme is, manage your AeroActive Cooler, and find games optimised for the display's super-slinky 165Hz refresh rate.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess - It's really not what you expect from a major publisher these days, but Capcom's curious blend of action, real-time strategy and tower defence is one of the most original games you'll play all year

It's really not what you expect from a major publisher these days, but Capcom's curious blend of action, real-time strategy and tower defence is one of the most original games you'll play all year.From its colourful costumes to a pastoral message of healing nature, Kunitsu-Gami is proudly Japanese in its inspirations. Your masked warrior is on a mission to help a divine maiden purge a mountain of an evil 'defilement'... but this is no Link/Zelda dynamic: you'll also rely on villagers to help you beat back monsters.

Scott Contessa Voltage eRide 910

This is an electric trail bike designed with women in mind – not that you’d know that just by looking at it, because thankfully Scott hasn’t adopted the insulting ‘shrink it and pink it’ approach that many brands take.
