Gadgetren – ASUS is back with its brand new gaming phone in Indonesia through the ROG Phone 6 and ROG Phone 6 Pro series.
ROG Phone 6 Pro is the tallest gaming device with specs that are arguably fierce in terms of both design and device support.
This time ASUS designed the ROG Phone 6 Pro with a rear body display like a spaceship. It can be seen that there is a line on the rear part of the body that resembles the wings of a spaceship or an airplane.
In this way, ASUS intends to bring an atmosphere like exploring time and space when holding this new mobile. Not only that, the rear body of the ROG Phone 6 Pro also has several unique features such as the RGB Dare to Play writing and under it there is the number 06 as a marker for the 6th series of the ROG Phone.
Then below, another attraction is the presence of a 2 inch OLED screen which can be set by the user to display the six information such as the screen is on, the X mode, the status of wearing additional accessories, the status of charging , games, and incoming phone calls.
Then in the lower part of the rear body there is also the wording Republic of Gamers and the addition of two non-physical AirTrigger 6 buttons placed on the side of the body. The AirTrigger 6 button is supported by an ultrasonic sensor capable of detecting various gestures.
With all the support outside of these core specs, the ROG Phone 6 Pro obviously looks very reliable as a gaming phone and has its added value. However, it is incomplete unless we know what the advantages and disadvantages are more specifically.
Advantages and disadvantages of ASUS ROG Phone 6 Pro
Benefit
As a new gaming phone marketed in Indonesia, ROG Phone 6 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (4nm) Octa-Core 3.19 GHz chipset, which is Qualcomm’s fastest chipset to date.
The chipset is also supported by 18GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. With so much RAM, of course, ROG Phone 6 Pro can devour various popular demanding games.
In addition, the CPU of this mobile is also equipped with a GameCool 6 cooling system with boron nitride (BN) to accompany the vapor chamber and a larger graphite layer than its predecessor to reduce heat during games.
Thanks to the combination of CPU and cooling system, the temperature of the ROG Phone 6 Pro is said to be reduced by up to 10ºC. To make it even more optimal, ROG Phone 6 Pro can also be paired with the AeroActive Cooler 6 attachment attached to the rear body.
When users play on the screen of the ROG Phone 6 Pro, they will also feel satisfied because it has a 6.78 inch Samsung AMOLED panel with Full HD + resolution (2448 x 1080 pixels) supported by a refresh rate of 165 Hz, time of 1ms response, Delta -E <1, HDR10 +, Eye Care Display for eye protection from exposure to blue light and scratch resistant Corning Gorilla Glass Victus coating.
For gaming control, it is interesting to note that ROG Phone 6 Pro provides the AirTrigger 6 feature which appears to have physical buttons on the top side of the device. AirTrigger 6 has two ultrasonic buttons and can detect various finger movements or gestures.
You can access the settings of this mobile through the Armory Crate application to change various game modes, CPU status, battery, game library that has been installed on the mobile.
While in the middle of a game, ROG Phone 6 Pro users can also adjust the comfort of frame rate, game mode, and more via Game Genie. Thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chipset, the audio of this device has received a suite of Snapdragon Sound and Qualcomm aptX Adaptive technologies so that users can hear more realistic sound.
This gaming cell phone battery is also 6,000mAh accompanied by 65W fast charging. So it comes with features like WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, 5G, Dual SIM, NFC, in-display fingerprint sensor, facial recognition, 3.5mm headphone jack and ASUS noise canceling microphone.
shortcomings
With a price of Rp. 18,999,000 which can be considered quite expensive, ROG Phone 6 Pro doesn’t have many improvements over the ROG phone 6 on the hardware side. Also, there is no microSD slot to expand the storage space. Meanwhile, the photography sector is also the same as that used by his brother.
With the configuration of a 5MP macro camera and a 12MP front lens, it doesn’t quite match the price. This mobile is also quite heavy, so perhaps the user will feel more sore when holding it for a long time.
