The introduction of Asus’ gaming device is scheduled for 2022, and the specifications are absolutely monstrous, with the Pro version supporting up to 18GB of RAM. Both devices also include the brand-new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC from Qualcomm. Along with a gorgeous look, the smartphone also has a cooling kit (AERO ACTIVE COLLER 6), two USB C charging ports (which remind me of the Lenovo Legion Phone), and an OLED panel on the back with a lot of RGB lights and effects.
Is It A Gaming Beast or Just An Overkill?
There are several features that the Asus ROG Phone 6 and the Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro share in common. The dual-SIM (Nano) smartphones use ROG UI, and an Android 12-based user interface. Both devices have a 6.78-inch full-HD+ (1,080×2,448) Samsung AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 165Hz, a touch sampling rate of 720Hz, a response time of 1ms, a touch latency of 23ms, compatibility for HDR10+, and a maximum brightness of 1200 nits. Both gaming smartphones have displays with a Pixelworks i6 chipset and 2.5D curved glass with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection. The Pro model also has a tiny ROG Vision-enabled PMOLED display on the back panel.
Both devices sport a 6,000mAh battery and offer fast charging at up to 65W. (30W charger in box). Two 5-magnet 12×16 Super Linear speakers tuned by Dirac are included with the phones. Both phones have an IPX4 water resistance rating. The Pro model of the phone has a ROG Vision PMOLED display on the back panel, whilst the non-pro variant has an illuminated ROG logo. This is another significant difference between the phones, in addition to RAM and storage options. They both weigh 239g and have dimensions of 172.83×77.25×10.3mm.
The AeroActive Cooler 6 is an accessory for the Asus ROG Phone 6 and ROG Phone 6 Pro smartphones that feature an integrated thermoelectric cooling system to drastically reduce the temperature of your ROG Phone. This add-on item can be used wirelessly and is powered by the phone’s battery.
The Asus ROG Phone 6 and ROG Phone 6 Pro both include three back cameras for photography. They have 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 primary sensors, 13-megapixel, 125-degree wide-angle cameras, and 5-megapixel, close-up cameras. The smartphones are equipped with 12-megapixel cameras for selfies and video calls.
