The Asus ROGPhone6 Pro has all the power you could want, but is it the new gaming phone king?
Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro MSRP $1,075.00 Score Details DT Editors' Choice “The Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro is astonishingly powerful and smartly designed throughout, ready to appeal to gamers who want to play harder and better, for longer.” Pros Cons The Asus ROG Phone range has long been the king of gaming phones. It has regularly pulverized the competition through a combination of immense performance, well-considered gaming features, cool design, and carefully considered accessories.
You’ll pay the most for the ROG Phone 6 Pro, and while it’s unlikely you’ll ever really need the difference between 12GB, 16GB, and 18GB of RAM, getting as much internal storage as you can afford is always of benefit. However, the ROG Phone 6 and 6 Pro both have space for a microSD card slot, too. It really leaves the color ROG Vision screen and special white finish as motivation to buy it over the normal version.
Bold and brash, the ROG Phone 6 is not for shrinking violets. Its size and weight are commensurate with its ability, though, and that’s where your willingness to compromise will need to come in during any deliberations on whether to buy it or not. No, it’s not going to disappear in your pocket, and if you drop it, there’s a whole lot of heft behind it ready to crack the screen. But if you’re serious about playing mobile games on an incredibly capable machine, it’s worth putting up with all this.
It’s rare that speakers and sound on a phone are anything more than average, but the ROG Phone 6 is a step beyond. The audio is really great. The phone uses two 12 x 16mm drivers with tuning by Dirac . Sound is vibrant and lively, and the soundstage is carefully managed to provide outstanding stereo separation when you view the phone head-on. There’s even an EQ, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Snapdragon Sound, AptX Adaptive, and AptX Lossless for an all-around stellar audio experience.
Playing Daruisburst all the way through caused the phone no problem at all, and Asphalt 9: Legends was super smooth and very fast. Playing any game on a high-spec phone always seems to make them more exciting, because you’re never removed from the action by graphical glitches or frame rate drops. The ROG Phone 6’s glorious screen, shoulder controls, heat management, and tactile haptics enhances enjoyment even further.
Previous Next 1 of 4 The AeroActive Cooler 6 is massive compared to previous versions, due to it now having four physical buttons and a new design with more lights and fins than a custom 50s Chevy. It’s powered by the ROG Phone 6 itself or through its own USB Type-C connection, but this won’t be necessary unless it’s working at maximum capacity. Its fan is powerful enough to even cool your fingers when they’re wrapped around the phone.
I’ve used the ROG Phone 6 Pro with Asus’ normal ZenUI interface, as the gaming-focused look is far too overtly stylized and visually over-the-top for my taste. ZenUI is appropriately named, as it’s fuss-free and reliable, and annoyances are rare. The software isn’t overloaded with duplicate or needless apps, there are very few pre-installed promo apps, and, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, no game app tie-ins trying to get you to play something you have no interest in.
Wired charging is rated at 65W, and using the included charger, it takes about 40 to 45 minutes to charge the battery from a few percent to full, which is excellent considering the size of the cell it’s filling with energy. Our take There is no better gaming phone available today. The ROG Phone 6 Pro is astonishingly capable, and Asus’s knowledge of what makes a great gaming device shines through in every aspect, from the stunning screen and expertly tuned shoulder buttons, to the side-mounted USB port, the uprated cooling system, and the brilliant Kunai 3 gamepad accessory.
