Third-party reviews

What customers like about Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro (16GB + 512GB)

  • Exceptional gaming performance with high frame rates and minimal throttling
  • Vibrant 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a smooth 165Hz refresh rate
  • Massive 6,000mAh battery providing multi-day life and extremely fast 65W charging
  • Industry-leading front-firing stereo speakers and the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack
  • Unique gaming features like customizable AirTrigger 6 ultrasonic sensors and a secondary rear LED display
  • IPX4 splash resistance, a rare durability feature for dedicated gaming phones

What customers don't like about Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro (16GB + 512GB)

  • Average camera performance that falls behind similarly priced mainstream flagships
  • Short software support cycle with only two years of promised OS and security updates
  • Lacks premium standard features like wireless charging and a telephoto lens
  • Large, bulky design and gamer-centric aesthetic that may not appeal to all users
  • Can get uncomfortably hot during intense gaming without the external AeroActive Cooler 6
  • Expensive price point compared to competitors with similar core hardware

Verdict

The ASUS ROG Phone 6 Pro (16GB+512GB) is a high-performance gaming flagship powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, featuring an expansive 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a ultra-smooth 165Hz refresh rate for exceptional visuals. Key pros include immense 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage, dual front-facing speakers for immersive audio, and a large 6000mAh battery that supports 65W fast charging. The device also incorporates physical AirTrigger ultrasonic buttons for precise in-game control and a unique customizable PMOLED display on the back panel. A notable con is its bulky size and weight due to the large battery and cooling hardware, the camera performance is considered adequate but not top-tier compared to mainstream flagships, and it lacks official IP water resistance ratings.
