ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has today revealed their new ROG Phone 6 series of gaming smartphones, along with new models in the ROG Cetra series of true wireless gaming headphones and ROG Delta series of gaming headsets.
In the same launch, a collection of ROG Phone 6 accessories was revealed to elevate user experience.
Getting into the most-anticipated products of this launch, the ROG Phone 6 series includes the ROG Phone 6 and ROG Phone 6 Pro.
Here are their main specs:

To elaborate on some of these specs, the latest flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is equipped with a full suite of Snapdragon Elite Gaming features plus an improved Qualcomm Adreno GPU.

In fewer words, these are supposed to offer an increased performance improvement compared to the Snapdragon 888 that powered the ROG Phone 5.
With regards to the ROG Phone 6 series’ refresh rate, it can be set to 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, 144Hz, or 165Hz for the ideal gaming experience.

Complementing this are visuals that have been tuned in collaboration with Pixelworks for great colour accuracy.
Though this new series of phones again have a monster of a 6,000mAh battery, charging times shouldn’t be a pain thanks to a 65-watt HyperCharge adapter.

Of course, this section on the phones can’t end without highlighting several other features that add to one’s gaming experience.
ASUS has made significant upgrades to the AirTrigger 6, and the ultrasonic sensors now fully support various gestures including new features such as Dual Action, Press and Lift, and Gyroscope Aiming.
These should enhance one’s gaming experience across various genres, perhaps most noticeably in first-person shooters (FPS), with the 720 Hz touch-sampling rate and 23 ms ultra-low touch latency only making gaming sessions better.
The ROG Phone 6 Pro
When it comes to long hours of gaming, heat buildup becomes a real issue, and on the ROG Phone 6 series, there’s an upgraded GameCool 6 cooling system that comes to the rescue.
It includes a 360-degree CPU cooling technology, a larger vapour chamber, larger graphite sheets, along with a centred-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 fine-tune performance settings for different games.

In terms of audio, the GameFX audio system on ROG Phone 6 features symmetrical seven-magnet dual speakers, with sound that’s been optimised in collaboration with Swedish digital audio pioneer Dirac.
The Dirac Virtuo spatial audio solution enables immersive stereo sound, while Snapdragon Sound technology ensures super-low latency processing for lag-free gaming and lossless music streaming.
For those who still love their good old wired headphones, there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack on the phones.
Speaking of wired headphones…
ASUS also revealed a range of new wireless and wired headphones. The ROG Cetra True Wireless Pro is a wired/wireless dual-mode model featuring an ESS Quad DAC and an AI noise-cancelling microphone for crisp in-game audio and communication.

With the AI noise-cancelling microphone, background noises such as chatter, keyboard clatter, and mouse clicks are effortlessly filtered out when on a call.
The ROG Cetra True Wireless is a purely wireless model.

On the other hand, the brand-new ROG Delta S Wireless is the first ROG dual-mode wireless gaming headset. It can be used in either 2.4GHz or Bluetooth modes for maximum flexibility when connecting devices.

AI noise cancellation is available on this pair too with concealed AI beamforming microphones. Finally, there’s also the new ROG Delta S Core, which is a lightweight 270g headset designed with comfort as a priority.
Accessorise to optimise
Accessories revealed include the AeroActive Cooler 6, ROG Kunai 3 Gamepad for the ROG Phone 6 series, ROG Phone 6 Glass Screen Protector, cases, and more.

The clip-on AeroActive Cooler 6 has an AI-powered thermoelectric cooler, and a fan that delivers increased cooling airflow directly to hotspots on the back cover of the ROG Phone 6.
