Asus ROG Phone 6, ROG Phone 6 Pro launched with 165Hz display, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1: Details

Asus, today, launched its next generation of ROG Phone, aka ROG Phone 6 series for global markets. The series spawns two models, ROG Phone 6 and ROG Phone 6 Pro, similar to the ROG Phone 5 and 5s series before it. Like the previous models, the differences between the pro and non-pro ROG Phone 6 are limited to the aesthetics and RAM capacity. The ROG Phone 6 Pro has a programmable colour AMOLED display on the back and ships with 18GB of RAM by default. The ROG Phone 6 has more regular RGB lighting and up to 16GB RAM.

The rog Phone 6 and ROG Phone 6 Pro are among the first to come with Qualcomm’s brand-new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, that promises a slew of improvements from faster CPU and GPU performance to more power efficient NPU computing, over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Since the last ROG Phone— ROG Phone 5s— was based on the older Snapdragon 888+ SoC, we’re expecting a “significant” bump in performance, both in gaming and otherwise, with the ROG Phone 6 series.
