However, one change is in the color options. Instead of the standard Black and White found on the earlier announced ROG Phone 6 smartphones, the ROG Phone 6D will be available in 2 new colors: Metallic Grey and Matte White.

Adding to the gaming aesthetic, the ROG Phone 6D has a vertical RGB strip on the back that can light up in two different colors at once, while the more premium ROG Phone 6D Ultimate will feature a second display on the back that can be configured with multiple animations and can be used to show notifications or system metrics.

The display will be the fastest display ever featured on a smartphone, as the ROG Phone 6D and 6D Ultimate both feature 6.78-inch Full HD+ AMOLED panels with a 165Hz refresh rate, 720Hz touch sampling rate, 111% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, and HDR10+ support to boot for games.

It sports the 50 MP flagship Sony IMX766 sensor as the main rear camera, a 13MP ultrawide snapper, and a 5MP macro camera for the back. On the front, both devices get the 12MP Sony IMX663 sensor for selfies and vlogging.

Specs

Under the hood, we get a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset on both devices. This chipset carries massive improvements in thermals and efficiency over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, however, Asus has gone the extra mile to ensure maximum cooling for maximum performance. With their 360 degrees of CPU cooling combined with a 30% larger vapor chamber, the thermals of the device remain under the throttling limit for up to 30 minutes.

For consistent performance above and beyond that point, Asus has unveiled an upgraded active cooling solution in the form of the AeroActive Cooler 6. Using the inbuilt passive cooling, the smartphone was able to achieve an average of 59.4 FPS on Genshin impact while keeping the back panel temperatures around 44.2 degrees celcius (30-minute session). On the other hand, with the Active Aero Cooler 6 attached, the device managed an average FPS of 59.7 FPS with average temperatures (back panel) of just 37.2 degrees (1-hour session).

ASUS focusing on esports & premium phone market, but hasn’t seen profits yet: CEO

Sean — Wed, 08 Jun 2022 11:37:45 +0000

Earlier today (8th June 2022), ASUS held a shareholders’ meeting. During this conference, the company’s CEO stated that the company is continuing to focus on the mobile esports market as well as premium segment of smartphones. Although, it has yet to make a profit.

Xu Xianyue, the CEO of the Chinese electronics maker, stated that the brand is still focusing on launching high end smartphones for the esports centric market. This statement arrives just prior to the launch of the the new ROG Phone 6, which will be its latest flagship gaming smartphone. Notably, the CEO stated that ASUS is a known figure in the esports industry and its smartphones also have a high market share in the segment.

Talking about the upcoming ROG Phone 6, it will feature top notch specifications like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC as well as high 165Hz refresh rate as well. Over the existing base Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the new chip offers improvements in both CPU and GPU performance.

The Asus ROG Phone 6 series is the successor to last year’s ROG Phone 5 series, which consisted of 3 models in the lineup – the standard ROG Phone 5, the ROG Phone 5 Pro and the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate. All the 3 devices were powered by last year’s Snapdragon 888 SoC.

The reason why the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC is so highly anticipated is that compared to the original Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the new Snapdragon 8+ has both better performance and better power efficiency than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

By switching over from Samsung to TSMC, Qualcomm has improved CPU performance by 10% and GPU performance by 10% for the Snapdragon 8+. Qualcomm has even managed to improve power efficiency by up to 30% for the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, meaning that the chipset consumes less power overall, leading to improved thermals and improved battery life, in addition to the performance gains that the new chipset brings.

Official ROG account on Weibo

The second teaser comes from the company’s official Weibo social media account in China. In their latest Weibo post, ROG confirms that the ROG Phone 6 series will be launched as the Tencent variant in the Chinese market, which sports a different “Tencent Games” branding on the back and slightly different software from the global variant. Despite this, the ROG Phone 6 series Tencent variant will still feature the same Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 found on the global variant.

For those who are not familiar, the Asus ROG Phone series ever since 2019, was launched in two variants, a global variant for global markets and a Tencent variant in the Chinese market. This is because Asus stroke a deal with Tencent Games to use the company’s branding in China to increase marketability in the region. 2022 marks the fourth year of the Tencent Games and Asus ROG brand partnership in China with the upcoming launch of the ROG Phone 6.

Currently, the only other confirmed Android flagship teased to feature the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition. But other Android manufacturer brands like Xiaomi, Motorola, iQOO and OnePlus have teased to feature the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset in their upcoming unannounced flagship devices.

In March 2021, ASUS unveiled the ROG Phone 5 series comprising of the ROG Phone 5, 5 Pro, and 5 Ultimate. Later in August, the company launched the updated version of the phones dubbed ROG Phone 5s and 5s Pro. Now, ASUS seems to be gearing to launch this year’s gaming phones as new 2D renders(EqualLeaks) of the upcoming ASUS ROG Phone 6 and 6 Pro have arrived on the internet.

The ASUS ROG Phone 6 and ROG Phone 6 Pro look quite similar to the ROG Phone 5 devices. However, there’s a marginal change in cameras, secondary display, and the back panel’s graphics. The ROG Phone 6 series would be sporting a slightly different camera design. It will be a horizontal camera island with a triple camera system on both the 6 and 6 Pro.

Interestingly, the secondary display on the ROG Phone 6 would be bigger in comparison to the ROG Phone 5’s POMOLED display. Again, this time around, the screen will be exactly vertical unlike the slanted screen on the ROG Phone 5. Interestingly, one of the ROG 6 phones has a larger display and different back graphics to that of the other one. There’s also the Republic of Gamers branding at the bottom.

Apart from this, there isn’t anything to learn from the renders. But we can expect the upcoming ROG Phones to launch in the coming months considering that the ROG Phone 5 debuted in March 2021.
