The ROG Phone 6 Pro doesn't just pack performance, but is also a great smartphone in general. However, it turns out Asus already has an even better device you should get before this one.

, both of which I’ve previously nitpicked about being a little too chunky in the past. You’re also going to have to deal with a much larger and more pronounced camera bump on the rear compared to its predecessor. At the very least, build quality feels good, and while it doesn’t feel premium it does feel robust and sturdy.

In games meanwhile, the knob goes up to eleven with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 able to handle the games I threw at it, be it simpler titles like Hearthstone and Magic the Gathering: Arena, to fast paced shooters like Apex Legends Mobile as well as racing games like GRID: Autosport. I could crank the graphics settings to the maximum in most cases and it’ll handle it just fine, though Apex Legends did see occasional FPS drops to 40 at times.

However, I seldom used it, instead preferring to use the Air Triggers on the side of the device, which are basically touch sensitive areas where shoulder buttons would be on a gamepad. They work just fine, and I’m not too bothered by a lack of a built-in physical button as other mobile gamers in the office are. I did find having to set up the AirTriggers a little troublesome though. There’s gyroscopic control too, but I didn’t like it as I find fine controls when aiming not easy with it.

They’re actually a pretty solid suite of tools to have around, allowing me to switch between modes and set up macros in game for Air Triggers and the like, as well as monitor temps, CPU and GPU usage as well as the current FPS. If there’s one thing to complain about them though is that it took a while to actually figure out how to use it, with a UI that can get a little overwhelming the first time you boot it up.

What the display lacks in sharpness, it makes up for in speed. The 165Hz refresh rate means that it’s just super smooth even when you’re using it as a regular smartphone. It’s worth pointing out though that I only got to try out the full 165Hz in the few number of games that can actually support that, such as Hill Climb Racing, Brawl Stars and Stick Fight, the full list of which you can see on the Armoury Crate tool.
