You don't get the AeroActive Cooler X, but otherwise it's a great package.

    I thought you look at the front of the phone to operate it-all photos of the back lol...to gloss over the nice punch hole introduced for the bezel police. Now they can revel in their less than all-screen experience.

      the 6000 mAH was mediocre li-poly one. It degrades quickly compared to similar flagship phones. What a brick of a phone, my ROG 6 had disastrous battery life compared to my wife's S23 Ultra. Glad replaced it with Iqoo 12. It's more compact,cooler and faster.

        5500 mah battery, what is this, 2018? Even then, 6000 mah was used by the ROG phone, it was comically large back then but was put to good use. A world where chinese phones and ZTE are increasing capacities to 5400 mah and 6500 mah, Asus does this? What are they thinking? Their optimisation might be great but more battery is more battery, a weird choice. Asus is going from "ROG Phone" to "Zenfone+ (gamer edition)".

              At least they are giving chargers.
              Well done.

                341 customizable mini-LEDs.

                Poor mini-leds stuck at the BACk of smartphones like this and the nothing phone

                And still can't make it to the SCREEN in the FRONT

                  It's turned into another standard smartphone with that punch hole, what is it "gaming" about this?

                  If I want to go with another punch hole, slimmer and lighter as a daily-driver phone there are plenty AND BETTER alternatives (especially when it comes to software update policy).

                  A gaming phone should always be.. full view display without any obstructions, dual front-faced speakers, headphone jack. I'd say should also come with sd card slot but sadly it's becoming rare nowadays.

                  They're trying to make it appeal to ordinary people besides gamers, but that won't affect their sales.

                    Even the ROG series is becoming an all-rounder now. Noice!

                        Should have kept the Ultimate naming not Pro. And only introduce IP68 to the standard variant. Gaming phone with cooling fin would have been better. And use the Ultimate moniker. Just reduce price a little due to no IP68. What could be wrong in my assumption is that ultimate moniker will be use in 8D variants if available. Because the cooling fin(aero active portal) were co develop with mideatek in the 6D Ultimate
