After the launch of the ROG Phone 6 Pro video gaming phone, some hardcore fans were left questioning what occurred to the “Ultimate” version. As it turns out, ASUS waited for over two months prior to revealing its “one more thing,” the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate. For the processor, ASUS made the surprise switch to MediaTek for its Dimensity 9000+ chip, which obviously scores a little bit higher than the ROG Phone 6s Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Theres likewise the ROG Phone 6D introducing alongside, which is essentially the ROG Phone 6 (so just an RGB logo design on the back) however loading MediaTeks chipset and LPDDR5X RAM rather. ASUS also launched the ROG Phone 6 Batman Edition, which is basically either the 6 or 6D base designs (depending on area) with a special storage case, a little bat signal LED projector (you can power it with your phone through USB-C), a special Batman Aero Case and a Batman symbol SIM tray pin; this comes with its extremely own stand for screen functions.
After the launch of the ROG Phone 6 Pro gaming phone, some hardcore fans were left wondering what happened to the “Ultimate” variation. As it turns out, ASUS waited for over 2 months before revealing its “one more thing,” the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate. Its identical to the 6 Pro in almost every method, other than for four things: the new “area gray” color; the fascinating choice of the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ processor (which is what the “D” in “6D” stands for); the switch to the quicker LPDDR5X RAM; and the new “AeroActive Portal” design for blowing cool air into its internal heat-dissipation fins. (Ill abbreviate this as heatsink from here on out.).
The AeroActive Portal itself is essentially a door flap that opens when the bundled AeroActive Cooler 6 is attached, so that a portion of the cool wind produced by the fan– at nearly 1,000 cc per 2nd– is assisted through a wind tunnel and into the heatsink, with hot air coming out from the top slot. The heatsink is, of course, connected to the generously sized thermal layers covering the logic board and battery cells, in order to move heat from the elements to the airflow. This is to help sustain a high frame rate over a longer duration while video gaming, as well as to make sure the phone is still comfortable to hold.

ASUS claimed that after 60 minutes of Perfdog benchmarking on Genshin Impact at 60Hz in air cooling mode, the ROG Phone 6D reached 36.9 degrees Celsius (98.42 Farenheit), which was 3.4 ° C lower than the ROG Phone 6 in the same mode. That is to say, the AeroActive Portal seems to make a notable difference. Likewise in “Frosty” and “Frozen” modes (with the Peltier thermoelectric cooling chip enabled), and its worth repeating that the AeroActive Cooler 6 is the only Peltier-enabled cooler in the market that doesnt require additional power externally; it only needs that for the more effective “Frozen” mode.
While the AeroActive Portal just begins when an AeroActive Cooler 6 is connected, you can open it momentarily in settings for cleaning functions. The flap is otherwise shut tight to secure the phones IPX4 splash resistance. It likewise has fall detection for instantly withdrawing the flap, and the stepping motor in addition to the zirconium alloy hinge are obviously helpful for over 40,000 turns– both of which are based on the knowings from the now-retired Flip Camera function from the Zenfone series.

The 6D Ultimate packs the same set of essential features as the 6 Pro: 165Hz 6.78-inch AMOLED display, 720Hz touch tasting rate, up to 512GB of storage, 6,000 mAh battery, 65W quickly charging (42 minutes), Dirac-tuned front-facing stereo speakers, ultrasonic “AirTiggers” and a personalized “ROG Vision” color display screen on the back. Its also the exact same set of cams: a 50-megapixel main video camera with Sonys IMX766 sensor, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide camera plus a 5MP macro video camera; and on the front, theres a 12MP selfie electronic camera with a Sony IMX663 sensor.
For the processor, ASUS made the surprise switch to MediaTek for its Dimensity 9000+ chip, which apparently ratings a little greater than the ROG Phone 6s Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. The company included that while the Snapdragon flagship chipset loads a much better GPU, the Dimensitys CPU is stated to be 10 percent more effective (albeit with the same 3.2 GHz maximum clock speed). The CPU is matched by the quicker LPDDR5X RAM too, though this is the same reason as to why this is capped at 16GB here rather of 18GB.

The ROG Phone 6D Ultimate will be readily available throughout Europe soon, with the sole design (16GB RAM with 512GB storage) priced at EUR1,399 (around $1,400) or ₤ 1,199. Again, this premium model comes bundled with an AeroActive Cooler 6. Theres also the ROG Phone 6D releasing alongside, which is essentially the ROG Phone 6 (so just an RGB logo on the back) however loading MediaTeks chipset and LPDDR5X RAM instead. This begins with EUR949 (around $950) or ₤ 799 with the 12GB RAM plus 256GB storage base design.
