New Asus ROG Phone 6 and 6 Pro: Asus’ gaming mobile returns with raw power and the best connectivity

Last year, a few months after announcing the Asus ROG Phone 5, the company officially presented its usual mid-season renewal, which on that occasion came in the form of two models: the Asus ROG Phone 5s and the Asus ROG Phone 5s Pro. These two powerful phones have been the company’s flagships in the gaming segment until now, because the manufacturer has just launched the new Asus ROG Phone 6 and 6 Pro.

They both have on board what’s new from Qualcomm and they inherit the 6.78-inch AMOLED screen from their predecessors, although they raise both the refresh rate and the touch sampling frequency. From behind, we find the brand’s logo with LED lights in the case of the ROG Phone 6 and a secondary screen in its older brother.
