Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro is the latest on the market from the Taiwanese brand of Asus, which strives to keep up with the finer details of gaming. This high-end gaming phone is a compelling package for phone gamers who are of delicate minds and heavy pockets. 

 

Asus ROG Phone 6 pro comes to the market with a display of 165Hz, with a powerful snapdragon 8Plus Gen 1 processor and 65W of fast charging. It is not a disappointment in the aesthetic part either.

This handset comes with a 10% performance boost when compared to other Asus phones launched earlier in the year.

A few of its features include an OLED display with 165Hz and a screen with 720Hz, which makes gaming run smoothly. For the first time, the handset has Gorrila Glass Victus protection with an IPX4 rating.

 

These details might seem minute but they ensure in a smooth and memorable gaming experenice in the longer run. The phone can be said to be on the heftier side, weighing 239g, amking it a lot bigger and heaver than average products. But then again, this is a ‘beyond the average’ device. 

 

Even thought the Asus ROG phone 6 comes in Phantom Black & Stormy White, the Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro is unfortunately only available in the latter colour.

PROS :

-Incredible Performance,

-Gaming Features are powerful,

There is a pretty high price tag for these phones and the Asus ROG Phone 6 can be obtained for a price of $1,088, or Rs 87,040 /- for the Samsung ROG Phone 6 Pro for a price of $1,330, or Rs 1,06,400, respectively.

 

Verdict : 

  • Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro wasn’t shy with expressing their “edgy gamer aesthetic”, with their straight line cuts and neon accents and bold slogans, “dare to play”. Consumers who are willing to splurge for this phone are the target audience for this product.

 

  • There aren’t a lot of top-quality materials on this product for the premium tier, but the finish is nice enough to make it feel luxurious.

 

  • In the case of the small POLED display at the back of the 6 Pro, the aesthetics clash with the practicality of the device. This is customizable to display the time, a logo, or a string of text messages depending on if the phone is on a charge, a game is being played or if the phone screen is on. The orientation and positioning is not quite useful and is just another part of a beautiful aesthetic.

  • The connectivity of this mobile is really good, primarily because it’s a gaming phone. As well as charging, there is a USB C port that allows users to connect with gaming accessories from Asus. 

 

  • The headphone jack at the bottom is 3.5mm, situated beside another USB C-port. Dual ports is an addition that is highly appreciated by users. 

 

  • Knowing the gaming performance of a gaming phone is crucial. It gives an extraordinary gaming experience in day-to-day usage, but the performance is directly proportional to the battery life of the device. Once the battery hits a low level, the performance might be a little of aggressive. 

 

Even though the small hiccups, Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, in X mode, outruns models with the  Snapdragon 8 gen 1, on any given day.

Asus ROG Phone 6 is the perfect deal for a dedicated mobile gamer, who is drawn in by the charms of its aesthetics & stunning features. This is due to the fact that Phone 6 has a block of Pro’s features at a significantly lesser price. 

 

Now talking about the Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro, for over 1 lakh, the phone isn’t a jack of all trades with an average quality camera, wireless charging, and an IP rating of 68. This handset is particularly expensive even though it promises an amazing gaming experience. There are better handsets available in the market for the same price if not lower. 

 

This phone has a very specific genre of people in mind – the ones who are willing to splurge on this delicate gaming device which is both aesthetically pleasing and has fantastic features, making it a popular handset very quickly as it climbs the ladder to the top.
