5 July 2022

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has announced that its latest mobile technology lineup will be the ROG Phone 6 and ROG Phone 6 Pro – both designed to offer a robust suite of features for gamers and content consumers.

Both phones will boast the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform with 3.2GHz CPU clock speeds and advanced GameCool 6 cooling systems for enhanced performance.

Notably, the Phone 6 range will allow gamers to tune the phone’s performance settings for different games.

The phones will also have an adjustable refresh rate allowing for performance from 60Hz to 165Hz depending on the game and user preferences.

The Phone 6’s screen is a 6.78-inch AMOLED HDR 10+ display with a 720Hz sampling rate and 23ms touch latency.

It is also equipped with a GameFX audio system boasting seven-magnet dual speakers and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The sound system has also been optimised with the aid of Swedish digital audio pioneer Dirac.

The ROG Phone 6 comes with 18GB LPDDR5 RAM, 512 GB of storage space, and a 6,000 mAh battery capacity to ensure long battery life even while gaming.

It will also be equipped with a triple-camera system featuring a flagship Sony ® IMX766 50 MP main wide-angle camera, an ultrawide 13 MP second camera, a macro camera, and a 12 MPO front camera.

ASUS also revealed that it is launching a new series of ROG Cetra True Wireless gaming headphones, a ROG Delta series of gaming headsets, and a collection of ROG Phone 6 accessories.

The new lineup of phones is expected to launch in South Africa sometime in September at the earliest, and pricing will be shared closer to the date.

There is currently no plan to bring the accessories to South Africa – just the phones.
