Asus ROG Phone 6 pricing

So far, we only have confirmed pricing for the ROG Phone 6 and 6 Pro in the UK and Europe:

• ROG Phone 6 (12GB RAM, 256GB storage) – £899/€999 (approx. $1,090)
• ROG Phone 6 (16GB RAM, 512GB storage) – £999/€1,149 (approx. $1,090)
• ROG Phone 6 Pro (18GB RAM, 512GB storage) – £1,099/€1,299 (approx. $1,090)

Direct conversions are highly unlikely in the US, so the converted figures above will vary slightly. For context, the regular ROG Phone 5S cost 999/$1,099 at launch, with the 5S Pro rising to £1,099/$1,299. The ROG Phone 5 series had a third model, the €1,299 5 Ultimate, but there’s no sign of its successor.

Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro – Gaming and Performance

Just as everywhere else, the ROG Phone 6 Pro leaves little to be desired when it comes to performance. It’s packing the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chipset – effectively a souped up version of the 8 Gen1 – and backs it up with 18GB of LPDDR5 memory. It’s also paired with 512GB of fast UFS 3.1 storage.

In every second of every interaction, the ROG Phone 6 Pro feels like it’s cruising. Jumping back and forth between apps is no problem, as the absurd amount of RAM can hold more than I’d ever imagine necessary. After bumping around the phone, answering a text, and playing an entire match in Apex Legends, I was still able to jump back into a different game and pick up right where I’d left off.

In gaming, the phone also goes hard. In multiple matches of Apex Legends, it didn’t show any signs of struggling with UltraHD graphics and a high frame rate setting. Even bumping the frame rate up beyond that it continued to work with ease. For all Asus’s efforts, it still has to contend with heat, and though the phone settles at just over 100 degrees after a lengthy game, that’s heat that’ll lead to sweaty palms and fingers.

The controls on the phone feel responsive while gaming, perhaps in part thanks to the speed of the phone but also as a result of the high touch sampling rate. However, the shoulder ‘buttons’ don’t feel as good to use as the physical buttons presented and ingeniously built into last year’s Black Shark 4.

Speeds in and outside of gaming also get a bonus from fast networking. Wi-Fi 6E is supported, though I was only able to see Wi-Fi 6 speeds on my home router. 5G connectivity is on deck, and though an initial test saw the phone clocking over 700Mbps on my T-Mobile connection in Chicago, reception and access to high speed bands proved less reliable. Often I was stuck in the slow lane on 4G or even 3G networks in places where I’d normally get at least slow 5G on my Galaxy S20. This, paired with the ROG Phone 6 Pro’s initial launch happening outside the US, suggests it might not be packing the best radios for US customers.

While you might get caught out hunting for signal, you’re not as likely to be left begging for battery. The 6,000mAh of charge in the ROG Phone 6 Pro is ready for all-day use even with some gaming squeezed in there. In my testing, I never saw it get below a third of its capacity by the end of that day, and I’d run a little gaming, a little entertainment, and even a little mobile hotspot in that time. A 105-minute movie streaming over Wi-Fi with the display at about 75% brightness and volume through the speakers maxed out only sucked down 14% of the battery. And the speakers held up surprisingly well outside against the sound of July 4th fireworks going off constantly. After completely draining the battery, it shot back up to 40% from sitting on the charger for just over 10 minutes, and 20 minutes brought it up to 61%. And sure enough, after 42 minutes, it reached 100% charge, though it got pretty toasty charging that fast.

Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro – Camera

If Asus could be caught slacking anywhere, it’s with the cameras. The ROG Phone 6 and 6 Pro both include a trio of cameras on the back, and they’re truly nothing to get excited for.

Here are the cameras the ROG Phone 6 Pro packs:

• 50MP Wide
• 13MP Ultrawide
• 5MP Macro
• 12MP Selfie

These cameras almost all produce photos that look fine when viewed on the phone itself, but fall short when viewing them on a larger screen.

The main sensor has decent color and looks plenty crisp when it’s small. But it’s got a tendency toward noisiness, is a bit slow and therefore smears a bit in anything but bright daylight, and looks oversharpened. Every flaw of the main sensor just gets worse with the ultra-wide camera.

The macro camera is almost not worth mentioning, as it produces images that barely offer anything different than just using the main sensor’s 2x digital zoom.

It’s actually the selfie camera that’s the standout of the bunch. It avoids over-sharpening, meets the lighting conditions well, provides natural color, and is reasonably sharp.

Purchasing Guide

The Asus ROG Phone 6 is available from €999, while the ROG Phone 6 Pro jumps up to €1,299. The device hasn’t come to the US yet, but when it does it will similarly start at $999 and bump up to $1,299 for the Pro. That may be expensive, but it’s a discount from last year’s ROG Phone 5 Ultimate, which hit an absurd $1545 in the US.
