What we like about Asus ROG Phone 6D Ultimate (16GB + 512GB)

  • Unparalleled gaming performance driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ chipset and high RAM capacity.
  • Stunning 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate and high touch-sampling for smooth visuals.
  • Industry-leading symmetrical front-facing stereo speakers that deliver loud and detailed audio.
  • Excellent battery life from the large 6,000mAh dual-cell battery, supported by 65W fast charging.
  • Highly effective cooling system, especially when using the bundled AeroActive Cooler 6 and the motorized AeroActive Portal.
  • Advanced gaming-specific features like AirTrigger 6 ultrasonic sensors and comprehensive software customization via Armoury Crate.
  • Retains the 3.5mm headphone jack and includes a secondary side-mounted USB-C port for charging while gaming.

What we don't like about Asus ROG Phone 6D Ultimate (16GB + 512GB)

  • Large and bulky design that is heavy and difficult to use comfortably with one hand or carry in a pocket.
  • Lack of wireless charging, which is often expected at its premium flagship price point.
  • Camera system is decent but falls short of other high-end 2022 flagships in terms of zoom capabilities and low-light performance.
  • Limited water resistance, with only an IPX4 splash-proof rating rather than a full waterproof certification.
  • Mechanical components like the AeroActive Portal raise concerns regarding long-term durability and potential for debris ingress.
  • Short-term software support commitment, with typically only two years of OS updates promised.

Verdict

The ASUS ROG Phone 6D Ultimate is a high-performance gaming smartphone powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ processor and 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM with 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate and a massive 6,000mAh battery supporting 65W fast charging. Key pros include its exceptional gaming performance, innovative AeroActive Portal cooling system for sustained performance, and excellent speakers. Potential cons are its high price, considerable weight and bulk, and a primary camera that, while decent, doesn't match the quality of other similarly priced flagship devices.
