Like the previous ROG Phone 5, the phone holds a similar camera module, except this time the rectangular shape area is increased.

Although, the overall appearance aspect is different from user to user. So, it’s up to your where you place this smartphone in your heart.

Memory and Internal

The cooling system is provided in the device to ensure no overheating issues during longer gaming sessions. The Asus ROG Phone 6 arrives with the 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and provides immersive results with the Adreno 730 GPU support. Besides this, the device can reach up to a 3.19 GHz clocking speed, which is quite good.

Moreover, the device rank in the top 10 in the CPU benchmarks, while on the other hand, the Asus ROG Phone 6 doesn’t hold back when it comes to the user interface. You may receive the standard Android 12 OS, but the beautiful customization skin, wallpaper, themes, and various widget makes the overall experience superb. Furthermore, the software does support dedicated gaming tweaks that make the gameplay more interesting.

You can effortlessly play advanced games like Genshin Impact, PUBG, and Call of Duty at the highest resolution settings.

Camera

There’s a general saying in the smartphone community that the gaming smartphone cut several corners in the camera quality. Besides this, the ROG Phone has a track recording of having average image processing software. Although, it doesn’t mean that you won’t receive decent photography and videography experience.

Hopefully, the ROG Phone 6 arrives with a 50MP primary lens that will give satisfactory results while capturing photos. However, there are also remaining 13MP ultrawide and 5MP macro lenses that provide mediocre results. Still, you won’t be disappointed by the colors, contrast, and saturation that are engineered by the image processing technology.

On the other hand, the phone houses a 12MP standard selfie camera inside the slim notch on the top. It’s a good thing it doesn’t cover the screen like dot notch and waterdrop notch selfie. Yet, the photos are good in the daylight, but you will notice grains in the low light. Following this, the device support 8K video recording with gyro-EIS stabilization, while the front camera video recording goes up to 1080p resolution.

Battery and Others

The battery department is the powerhouse of the entire smartphone and having an average battery capacity on any gaming phone is pretty disappointing. But that’s not the case for the Asus ROG Phone 6, as it arrives with a massive Li-Po 6000 mAh battery that supplies 7+ hours of screen time. Besides this, you will attain a 65W fast charging support that will refuel the device in less than 45+ minutes.

Alongside this, you will receive 10W reverse charging support. Also, the sound experience is also superb and renders an astounding gameplay experience, while it includes a 3.5 mm jack too. Speaking of the price point, the phone comes with a tag of $908 (Rs 71,999 in India) approx. for the starting variant.
