Display and Design

Plus, the colors and contrast pop up from the screen with perks like 165Hz refresh rate and crispness of the HDR10+ content support. Not to forget, the company also renders better brightness nits to use this phone outdoors.

Memory and Internal

Under the hood, the ROG Phone Batman Edition is powered by two different chipsets depending on the region. The US version comes with the most powerful Qualcomm chipset of this year so far, we are talking about 4nm – Qualcomm SM8475 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. With this, you won’t face any particular issues while your gameplay, and also has better 5G connectivity options. On the other hand, the international version has swapped the chipset with a 4nm – MediaTek Dimiensity 9000+ chipset.

Though, the power levels are on par with both chipsets. But, the graphic is slightly good in the Snapdragon. However, it doesn’t mean the Dimensity chipset variant is bad. No, it’s not, as you will obtain an impressive cooling system inside the phone, which will further lead to stabilizing the overall performance. The best aspect of purchasing this phone would be that you are getting several interesting Batman accessories and deciding themes.

Though you won’t get a secondary storage choice inside the phone, you can connect to external storage using NTFS support.

Camera

The camera experience of the ROG Phone 6 Batman Edition is pretty average and gives a mixed feeling. From the start, we are not expecting that the phone will outperformance the competition. But, there’s no denying that the phone provided pretty grounded results, thanks to decent AI software rendering support. The daylight photo from the 50MP primary lens is quite appealing.

They have proper details, vivid color, fine exposure, and sharp contrast. But the same thing can’t be said for the lowlight results as noise is noticed in photos results. As for the portrait mode, the edge detection is pretty good, but it doesn’t render natural colors according to the skin tone. As for the additional camera setup, you will obtain a 13MP ultra-wide lens that brings presentable image quality.

Following this, the phone also includes a 5MP macro lens to capture close shots. Although, the result is not satisfactory as a telephoto lens. Anyway, the 12MP selfie lens clicks impressively detailed photos so that you can share your memories on social media. Finally, the video recording can go up to 8K with average video stabilization support, while the front camera can record up to 1080p videos precisely.

Battery and Others

The Asus ROG Phone 6 Batman Edition is impeccable as you are easily getting more than 7+ hours of screen time to play any games. Moreover, the software conveniently optimized the Li-Po 6000 mAh battery so that the users don’t face trouble during their usage. Although, the phone does missing wireless charging support. But still, having a 65W fast charger inside is more than enough for the users.

Through that charger, the phone can be refueled through two USB Type-C ports in less than an hour without any hassle. Furthermore, the sound output is crisp and louder than an average phone, while the 3.5-mm jack port enhances the overall sound experience. Finally, let’s reveal the price point, now.

Conclusion

The Asus ROG Phone 6 Batman Edition costs a little more than the ROG Phone 6D. Undoubtedly, the Batman Edition provides additional accessories and a few handfuls of perks with a customizable Batman theme. But apart from these factors, the phone doesn’t stand out that much from its sibling, if we remove the fact the US variant got Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.

Overall, it’s not a bad deal if you are a Batman fan, and want to get this special edition. However, if you are not a fan, then we would suggest you go with the normal version. Besides this, the Asus ROG Phone 6 is also a great alternative for an immersive gameplay experience with lots of customization options. So, make the final call according to your need.
