ROG Phone 6

The lineup includes three models. The Chinese base version of the ROG Phone 6 comes with 8 GBs of LPDDR5 RAM, 128 GBs of UFS 3.1 storage, and costs ¥107,600/£650/€750. This model does not appear to be available for the Global variants of these phones.[7][8] The Global variant base model of the ROG Phone 6 comes with 12 GBs of LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GBs UFS 3.1 storage which costs £899/€999.[9] The Chinese and Global variants have the maximum specifications of 16 GBs of LPDDR5 RAM and 512 GBs of UFS 3.1 storage for £999/€1,149. The ROG Phone 6 Pro is the most expensive model of the series, and has specifications that are locked at 18 GBs of LPDDR5 RAM and 512 GBs of UFS 3.1 storage costing £1,099/€1,299.[9]

The visual design differences between the ROG Phone 6 and the ROG Phone 6 Pro are focused on the rear of the phone case. The ROG Phone 6 contains a vertical RGB LED symbol of the Republic of Gamers logo that the user can customize to their desired colors, static or dynamic. The logo can also perform custom light show displays based on phone events, such as when the phone is charging, or receiving a phone call.[10] The ROG Phone 6 Pro variant instead has a 2" wide OLED display on the rear of the phone that can be configured to display pre-created animations, such as when receiving a phone call, a virtual battery when the phone is charging, or when the phone detects that the user has switched it to a overclocked setting (X-Mode).[11]

ASUS is also releasing an additional two ROG Phone 6 variants that were revealed on September 19, 2022, known as the ROG Phone 6D and the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate.[12] These phones will contain the same hardware specifications as the previously mentioned ROG Phone 6 models, with the exception of the processor being the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ (4 nm) chip instead of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (4 nm).[12]

The ROG Phone 6D Ultimate has a moving vent flap on the rear of the phone that opens to reveal internal heat dissipation fins. ASUS totes this feature as "a new advanced cooling system that allows airflow unlike any ROG Phone before."[12] Early reviews speculate that this vent flap may work in tandem with the Areoactive Cooler 6 attachment meant to be utilized during heavy gaming sessions.

A render of the ROG Phone 6 with Batman inspired themes and skins was leaked and shared by GSMArena on September 9, 2022. From the leaked image, the phone is black aside from some purple/lavender colors and symbols. It will likely share specifications similar to the ROG Phone 6.

The ROG Phone 6 is compatible with a number of ASUS manufactured accessories.[14]
