Asus has officiallyannouncedtwo young gaming phones , the ROG Phone 6 and ROG Phone 6 Pro .
Last year , theAsus ROG Phone 5turned out to be one of our pet gaming headphone yet , while I can attest to the caliber of the extravagantly specced and priced ROG Phone 5s Pro .
The Asus ROG Phone 6 andROG Phone 6 Prolook to pick up where those phones leave off .
They ’re generally quite alike , with the same 6.78 - inch Samsung AMOLED display packing a 165 Hz refresh rate and a 720 Hz touch sampling rate . Asus is calling it the ROG brand ’s best display yet .
You also get the same in high spirits - endSnapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1chip power both phones , as well as the same amend GameCool 6 cooling system . The key functioning deviation is that the ROG Phone 6 Pro can be specified with up to 18 GB of RAM , while the vanilla ROG Phone 6 can ‘ only ’ go up to 16 G .
Both speech sound come with the same ameliorate dual front - face Speaker with more natural bass ( once again tune up by Dirac ) , as well as a new high - oddment ten - axis quivering motor for improve haptic feedback .
The two phones areIPX4 certified(meaning splashproof ) and have Gorilla Glass Victus to the front . They even have the precise same proportion of 173 x 77 x 10.3 mm , and the same weighting of 239 g.
While the ROG Phone 6 comes in either Storm White or Phantom Black , however , the Pro only comes in Storm White . Conversely , the ROG Phone 6 Pro gives you a nifty ROG Vision colour PMOLED presentation on the back , which prove customisable animations . The plain ROG Phone 6 only has a set lit RGB ROG logo .
Key to both telephone ( and any decent gaming phone ) is the physical control proviso , and here that think of an improved AirTrigger 6 system of rules that lets you map and increase fourteen specific touch points on the screen simultaneously .
Add in the disjoined AeroActive Cooler 6 , and you’re able to take that count up to 18 . The clip - on fan provides four additional strong-arm induction push button , which is up from two in the last iteration , alongside a kickstand .
Among the common optional peripherals , Asus is supplying the update ROG Kunai 3 Gamepad , which has a new bumper that supports the ROG Phone 6 phone line .
Both phones offer muckle of juice from their two-fold 3000mAh battery ( for 6000mAh overall ) , and both accuse at an improved 65W. They ’ll get from empty to full in 42 minutes , which is 10 minutes quicker than the ROG Phone 5 .
play phones do n’t in general have the good cameras , but at least this time Asus has equipped both ROG 6 phones with a 50MP SONY IMX766 main sensor . This has impressed us late in theOnePlus Nord 2Tand theRealme 9 Pro Plus . That main sensor is backed by a 13MP radical - panoptic and a macro television camera , as well as a 12MP selfie River Cam .
The Asus ROG Phone 6 will retail for a price of £ 899/€999 , while the ROG Phone 6 Pro will be usable for £ 1,099/€1,299 .
