Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro Unboxing & First Impressions

 

India's First SD 8+ Gen 1 Monster Phone 

Friends, this is the ROG Phone 6 Pro, it's totally futuristic with the box. It's like a treasure hunt. First, you get the ROG brand 65W charger - Type C. And it has a type C to C braided cable of good quality. There's a card "For Those Who Dare" & nothing else in here.

There's a SIM card tool, and documentation & look at that case! There's a cut here, too, meaning there's some display obviously. Let's keep the box aside & take a look at the phone. I'm super excited! Wow! Just look at the phone! OMG I have the ROG Phone 3, the ROG Phone 5, this is the 5s & this here is the ROG Phone 6 Pro! There is not much difference in size while the rig Phone 5 looked tall & narrow. But the other looks short or maybe the same, I'm not sure. The case will look epic when I put it on & turn on the phone. The display might light up. The case fits snuggly & the phone's looks give you a complete gaming vibe. It feels good in the hand, it's big obviously because of the big battery & a big screen.

The case has fit very snuggly & it's a good quality case. It's finally out! It comes with GG Victus on the front so it shouldn't be a problem. I know the viewers must be wondering a lot. No, nothing happened. It's very well built! Its frame is metal, there's glass on the front & back. You also get 2 displays which I'll show you soon.

 Asus ROG Phone 6   Ports & Buttons 

 There's a 3.5mm jack below, USB Type C which is slightly on the side. 

 

 

On the right, you get the power on/off button, and there's a volume rocker up/down. Above there's a noise-cancelling microphone & on the right, there's a USB Type C in the centre. And below you also get a SIM card tray in blue accents. It's not visible but you get gaming triggers on the left & right & they're multifunctional as well! If I compare the ports & buttons with ROG Phone 5/5s, the pogo pins have disappeared. But there's a new aero cooler. It's cooler, not a fan! I'll show it to you. For those who game on the phone, it's a blessing for them! Look at it! It has 4 tactile buttons and triggers on top & you can unlock/lock it accordingly.

I can actually use 8 fingers. So you can use 8 fingers at the same time! Wow! This is crazy! And Nikhil's laughing at the back. He's a gamer. This has RGB too. Wait for it! Now, let's start the phone & check its colours out. Hohoho! This is the lock screen! It seems as if I've already started playing games! Wow! Look at that display! It's a 6.78" FHD+ 165Hz AMOLED display. And it supports HDR10+ and supports 111% DCI-P3 colour gamut. It's everything that you'd want.

It has a 720Hz touch sampling rate! And 1200nits of brightness. The 165Hz is a dream display for gamers.

Asus ROG Phone 6  Specifications 

 It's the 1st phone in our studio to have SD 8+Gen1 SoC. We tested it before starting & compared it to SD 8Gen1, it's a big leap forward! It's very ahead in terms of thermals, sustained performance etc compared to the SD 8Gen1. 

So there are 2 phones - ROG Phone 6 & 6 Pro. We have the ROG Phone 6 Pro & which has 18GB RAM & 512GB storage.  But you can buy a power delivery charge, which will give out 65W charging. It goes from 0-100% in about 42 minutes with the 65W. 

We haven't weighed the phone yet, it should be heavy considering the 6000mAh battery. I think it should be around 230g. Oh, it's 240g! 239.3g. That's heavy. I'm going to talk about these displays later, wait for it. 

Asus ROG Phone 6   Performance 

 This is the most powerful Android phone. I won't compare it with the iPhone. It gets a 1.1M Antutu score. You can play all games on the highest settings, whether Ipex Legends, CODM, etc. And even if you play for 2-3 hours, it'll work like a charm! Its stability score is the highest at 85%, and the 2nd best is at 78% I want to talk about 2-3 specifically related to gaming. 

Their Game Genie/Dashboard is prompted from the bottom, which used to pop from the sides. And it's a personal preference.  The game triggers are multifunctional & you can assign different functions accordingly. In fact, you can even use motion & gyro to reload guns etc.

 Since it's metal, the heat dissipates. So use a case while playing games. We ran the 3D Mark Stress Test & it performed great! I should talk about the cooler. It's not just a fan. It uses a Peltier effect to keep the surface cool.

 And generally, smartphones have SoCs on top, but this has it at the centre. And so the cooling effect is more & you get the X Mode aand3 cooling modes. I know you're waiting to watch the RGB & I'll show it to you now! You can customise the RGB effect in the armoury crate! And this air cooler can also be used as a stand for multimedia. Everyone will notice the triggers around you. 

Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro OS UI 

 It comes with a ROG UI that's based on Android 12. We asked them about the updates, & you'll get 2 years of OS updates & 2 years of security updates. Having Android 12, it comes with Material UI & it's very close to Pixel UI. So there are many button shortcuts. And many gamers are looking forward to buying this phone. You can record & stream an FHD 120FPS display gameplay. 

Asus ROG Phone 6   Multimedia 

 Let me show you its audio as it's impressive! There's an outdoor mode where it gets very loud & the quality is good too. It seems as if you're listening on a speaker because it has magnet speakers & is symmetrically balanced. And it comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack. So it's one of the best for multimedia & gaming. Surprisingly, it doesn't have HDR on Netflix. Or it may not be listed.

Asus ROG Phone 6   Price 

            Generally, ROG Phones cost around Rs 50k, but SD8+Gen1 phones are going to be super expensive. And this isn't going to be any different as it might be around Rs 70-75k(ROG Phone 6). The Pro would cost you more.
