  5. Lastly, it holds a massive Li-Po 6000 mAh battery capacity with 65W fast charging and 10W reverse charging support.

Design and Display

The first impression of this phone is pretty much similar to the previous Asus ROG Phone 6, but at the same time, it looks premium and attractive. It got a fancy gaming-centric design with various implements popping out from the back panel. The best part would be the Dare to Play logo that further enhance the overall appearance of this phone with the Space Gray. However, you won’t find any other shade options, apart from the Space Gray.

Though it might limit the color options preference, still, the additional features make this phone more interesting to purchase. For instance, you are getting IP protection coating on the body, while the RGB lights can be customized according to your wish from the system settings. Plus, the phone also got corning gorilla glass victus protection.

Speaking of the front display, the tall aspect ratio of the 6.78-inch AMOLED panel gives impressive and lively colors with sharp contrast, which will increase the gaming experience. Moreover, you can watch high-resolution content with 1B colors, HDR 10+ crispness, and 1200 nits support. But what makes this phone more exciting would be the advanced and adaptive 165Hz refresh.

Memory and Internal

The performance level of the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ chip can be on par with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and will support a diverse range of power levels to assist you in different situations. From gaming to simple web surfing, the Asus ROG Phone 6D won’t disappoint. Furthermore, the in-built cooling system improves visual graphics and battery life.

With better-optimized battery life and amazing visuals from the GPU, the gaming session will be going to be superb. Moreover, you can also utilize the native gaming mode and customize the pressure-sensitive zone. You can allocate them for various tasks such as working as a trigger in the FFP games or anything else according to your wish. Furthermore, the new Mali-G710 MC10 GPU pushes the limits of the graphics.

Through this hardware support, the phone can easily work smoothly through tough multitasking usage, and if you are heavy users that frequently use all of the core features, the phone won’t break down the processing speed and renders an exceptional user experience. However, you are getting comparatively less function than other brands inside the Android 12 interface.

But if you are a gamer, the interface will bring all of the necessary elements of overlooking, advanced DND, better battery optimization, and many other things. From this, you can create a personalized user experience for your gaming phones. Last but not least, the ROG Phone 6D comes with 12GB to 16GB RAM support that will be accompanied by 256GB of internal storage, which is more than sufficient for most users. On the other hand, the company does provide NTFS support for external storage.

Camera

From the start, we won’t recommend you to get high hopes from the Asus ROG Phone 6D smartphone camera results. You are getting decent photos and videos, but not on the flagship level, which might give a slightly underwhelming feeling. But at the same time, the photos of daylight with the 50MP primary lens are presentable for social media. Though, noise can be visible if you are not using the night mode in a dark situation.

On the other hand, portrait photos have crisp details and proper exposure of the object and blur the background properly. But the edges look smooth, yet, the 5MP macro lens improves the close shots by adding more details with the image processing unit. Following this, the triple camera ends with a 13MP ultra-wide lens that provides a good amount of colors and contrast with a touch of dynamic range.

The native camera app will provide lots of custom features and filter options from which you can take your selfie photos and video to a whole new level using a 12MP selfie lens. But sadly, the selfie camera doesn’t provide extra video features as compared to the primary setup. The primary camera module can go up to 8K and support different modes with proper video stabilization, while the front camera can go up to 1080p resolution.

Battery and Others

As we have mentioned earlier, the Asus ROG Phone 6D maintains the Li-Po 6000 mAh battery without any hassle and provides long-lasting battery life to the users. Generally, you can get up to 7+ hours of screen time to play your favorite game titles without worrying about running out of battery life anytime soon. Furthermore, the phone only needs an hour to refuel since you are getting 65W charging support.

But sadly, the phone doesn’t support wireless charging, which is unexpected. Anyway, the company has the right to do anything with their phone. But it’s become a basic norm to have wireless charging support in the flagship phone. Hopefully, there are two charging ports, one at the bottom and another on the side so that you can use anyone you want. Plus, it got decent sound output with a 3.5 mm jack port. At the price point of $989 (Rs. 81,560 in India) approx, the Asus ROG phone 6D smartphone is a well-rounded package for gamers.
