Asus has finally launched some new phones this year, and these are named the Asus ROG Phone 6 & ROG Phone 6 Pro. So, these are the newest gaming phones from the company, and just like last year, the two phones are not very different from one another. Apart from the RAM & the rear design, everything is the same for both phones. This time, we do not have the ‘Ultimate’ variant, which was there last year when the ROG Phone 5 series launched.

ASUS ROG PHONE 6

The ROG Phone 6 has a more aggressive design than the ROG Phone 5. There is a larger camera module this time, but the camera count remains the same. The lines and texts on the rear panel are also more this time, so the back does not look as clean as last year’s model. One thing that the phone retains from last year is the dot-matrix logo on the rear. You can personalize the colors as there are over 16.77 million color combinations available to use.

The phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom along with a USB Type-C port. There is a secondary Type-C port on the side that is for connecting the accessories.

On the front, there are top and bottom bezels, so the selfie camera is present on the top bezel. There are front-firing stereo speakers too.

Speaking of the specs, Asus ROG Phone 6 packs a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with a Full-HD+ resolution and up to 165Hz refresh rate. It is worth mentioning that the ROG Phone 5 series features a 144Hz AMOLED. The display is protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus. Under the hood, the phone has Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SOC, and there is a massive 6,000mAh battery with 65W fast charging support. Asus made some bold claims regarding the new cooling system in this phone as the company claims up to a 10% reduction in CPU temperatures.

Finally, the least exciting part of a gaming phone is the camera. Asus ROG Phone 6 has three cameras on the rear. The primary camera has a 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor that is paired with a 13MP Ultrawide and a 5MP macro. There is a 12MP selfie shooter.

The Asus ROG Phone 6 comes with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The price is €999 / £899 / ₹71,999.

ASUS ROG PHONE 6 PRO

The ROG Phone 6 Pro has two main differences compared to the ROG Phone 6. First, the back design is a bit different, so instead of a dot-matrix display, it has a color AMOLED panel on the rear that you can configure from the software. Second, this phone comes with 18GB RAM and 512GB storage.

And well, that is pretty much it. Apart from these two changes, Asus ROG Phone 6 has the same specifications as the ROG Phone 6. The price difference? Well, the ROG Phone 6 Pro is priced at €1,299 / £1,099 / ₹89,999.
