The event concluded with an all-star showmatch, where 14 well-known influencers from 8 different countries competed on PUBG MOBILE to showcase their skills using the world's premium gaming smartphone.
ROG Phone 6, ROG Phone 6 Pro: invincible power and supreme specifications
The ROG Phone 6 series is powered by the latest flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform, a premier-tier powerhouse that delivers power and performance enhancements for the ultimate boost across all on-device experiences. Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 offers amped-up gameplay — unleashed with the full suite of Snapdragon Elite Gaming features plus an improved Qualcomm Adreno GPU — delivering a more than 50% performance improvement when compared to the Snapdragon 888 that powered the ROG Phone 5. The device is backed by up to 18GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512GB of storage, for the most reliable and stable gaming experience.
The upgraded GameCool 6 cooling system includes 360° CPU cooling technology, a 30% larger vapor chamber, and 85% larger graphite sheets, along with a centered-CPU design to increase heat dissipation from the core. Combined with the new performance manager in Armoury Crate, the ROG Phone 6 series allows gamers to tune performance settings for different games, giving them a competitive edge in any gaming scenario.
For ultra-smooth and ultra-responsive gaming visuals, the ROG Phone 6 series is equipped with a 6.78-inch 165Hz AMOLED HDR10+ display with an industry-leading 720Hz touch-sampling rate and a world-beating 23ms ultra-low touch latency. This astonishing display can be set to 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, 144Hz, or 165Hz for an unparalleled gaming experience. The superb visuals are tuned in collaboration with leading visual-processing company Pixelworks for world-beating color accuracy.
For even more advanced control possibilities, the AirTrigger 6 has been significantly upgraded. The ultrasonic sensors fully support various gestures, including new features such as Dual Action, Press and Lift, and Gyroscope Aiming.
The GameFX audio system on ROG Phone 6 features symmetrical seven-magnet dual speakers that fire forward for truly balanced stereo sound effects, and there is also a convenient 3.5mm headphone jack. The sound has been optimized in collaboration with the Swedish digital audio pioneer Dirac, making ROG Phone 6 a rare beast, a gaming phone with truly impressive audio quality.
The ROG Phone 6 features the Dirac Virtuo spatial audio solution, which uses patented algorithms to enable immersive stereo sound from the smartphone's built-in speakers while enhancing the speakers' overall sound quality. Snapdragon Sound technology on the ROG Phone 6 ensures super-low latency processing for lag-free gaming and lossless music streaming, so gamers can hear every detail of their music exactly as the artist intended.
The monster 6000 mAh battery features advanced battery-care features for better battery performance and an extended lifespan, and there's also a 65W HyperCharge adapter for rapid charging.
The ROG Phone 6 series is now equipped with a triple-camera system featuring a flagship Sony IMX766 50MP main wide-angle camera with improved image quality and HDR processing, an ultrawide 13MP second camera, and a macro camera. Enhanced software features include HDR10+ Video Mode, and there’s also a 12MP front camera for high-quality group selfies and live-streaming videos.
The ROG Phone 6 is available in Phantom Black and Storm White, and comes equipped with Aura RGB lighting on the back, up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and up to 512GB of storage. The ROG Phone 6 Pro is available exclusively in Storm White, and features a color ROG Vision mini-display on the back, 18GB of LPDDR5 RAM memory, and 512GB of storage.
