Asus ROG Phone 6D series launched

Asus has launched the new ROG Phone 6D and 6D Ultimate, the Dimensity-powered cousins to the ROG Phone 6 and 6 Pro.

ROG Phone 6D series specifications

The 6D and 6D Ultimate are both powered by the latest MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ SoC.

Memory is one of the distinctions between the normal 6D and the Ultimate edition. The Ultimate version supports up to 16GB/512GB of storage, while the base 6D model supports up to 16GB/256GB.

To extract every last bit of performance from the Mediatek chipset, Asus created a cooling system that is groundbreaking, even by its own standards.

The 6D Ultimate has a unique new cooling system. Its AeroActive Portal on the back has a motorised hinge that automatically opens up an airway when the AeroActive Cooler 6 is connected. This allows the fan to dissipate heat far more efficiently, leading to superior sustained performance.

The two devices have the same 6.78-inch OLED display with 10-bit colour depth, 165Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support as the original ROG Phone 6 series.

The main camera is a 50MP sensor with 1.0-micron pixel size and f/1.9 lens. It is accompanied by a 13MP f/2.2, ultrawide shooter and a 5MP macro camera. The sensor of the selfie camera has a 12MP resolution.

Likewise, the battery capacity remains unchanged at 6,000 mAh with compatibility for up to 65W rapid charging through USB Power Delivery.

Additionally, the design is basically unchanged. On the rear of the 6D Ultimate model is a ROG Vision colour PMOLED display, while the basic model has an RGB LED-illuminated ROG logo.

Even ROG Phone 6 and 6 Pro accessories are compatible with the new 6D and 6D Ultimate.

ROG Phone 6D series price

The only colour available on the ROG Phone 6D series is Space Grey. The base model 6D is priced at £799, whilst the Ultimate model costs £1,199 but includes the AeroActive Cooler 6 attachment.

There is no word on the India launch of the ROG Phone 6D series.
