The Asus ROG Phone 6 and ROG Phone 6 Pro have roughly similar specs with minor tweaks. The duo gets a 6.78-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate and 720Hz touch sampling rate.

Under the hood, we have a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset with LPDDR5 RAM technology and UFS 3.1 storage. Regarding optics, the Asus ROG Phone 6 and 6 Pro pack a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 primary sensor, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 5-megapixel macro camera. Up front, the duo gets a 12-megapixel camera.

Other key features include 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth v5.2, and NFC. We also have two USB-C ports, as the secondary port can be used to connect cooling accessories. Accessories include AeroActive Cooler, an integrated thermoelectric AI cooling system. There is also a ROG Kunai 3 Gamepad. Lastly, just like older ROG Phones, the new generation Asus ROG Phone 6 series comes with ultrasonic sensors for AirTrigger 6 to deliver a gamepad-like experience on the smartphone.
