Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Asus ROG Phone 6D (12GB + 256GB)

  • Top-tier performance from the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ chipset, even without the external cooler attached.
  • Excellent battery life, often lasting a full day of moderate use or even two days with conservative use.
  • Superb 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate and great color accuracy, making it ideal for gaming and media consumption.
  • Industry-leading, loud, and clear front-facing stereo speakers with rich audio and a hint of bass.
  • Effective cooling system, especially the AeroActive Portal mechanism on the Ultimate model, which keeps heat away from hands during long gaming sessions.
  • Useful gaming-centric features, including highly responsive AirTrigger ultrasonic shoulder buttons and the comprehensive Armoury Crate software for customization.
  • Retains a 3.5mm headphone jack, a feature appreciated by many users.
  • Fast 65W wired charging with the charger included in the box, capable of a full charge in around one hour.
  • Solid build quality with a premium feel and an appealing design, even if bulky.
  • Main 50MP camera performs well in good lighting, producing detailed and dynamic shots, which is considered better than expected for a gaming phone.

What we don't like about Asus ROG Phone 6D (12GB + 256GB)

  • No wireless charging support, which is a common omission for gaming phones but a drawback for an expensive flagship device.
  • The camera setup is considered basic compared to other high-end flagships; the ultrawide and macro lenses are underwhelming, and there is no telephoto zoom.
  • The phone can get warm without the external AeroActive Cooler accessory, which is included only with the pricier Ultimate model.
  • Bulky and heavy design, especially when the cooling fan accessory is attached.
  • Limited software support, with Asus promising only two major Android updates and two years of security patches, which is less than competitors offer for their premium phones.
  • Some minor software bugs noted by users, such as app battery settings reverting after restart.
  • Not compatible with CDMA networks like Verizon and Sprint in the US.

Verdict

The ASUS ROG Phone 6D (12GB + 256GB) is a high-performance gaming smartphone powered by the efficient MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ chipset and 12GB of RAM, designed for sustained peak performance. Key features include a vibrant 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a smooth 165Hz refresh rate and a robust 6,000mAh battery for extended play sessions. A major pro is its advanced GameCool 6 cooling system, which manages heat exceptionally well, while a potential drawback is its considerable weight and bulkiness, typical of dedicated gaming devices.
