The battery particularly is particularly notable and its 6,000-mAH capability matches final 12 months’s Asus ROG Telephone 5. That cellphone has one of many longest battery lives that we have seen on an Android cellphone, based on CNET’s Patrick Holland, and was completed by means of two 3,000-mAh batteries. Final 12 months’s cellphone additionally had a really quick 144Hz display screen although, and this 12 months’s even quicker 165Hz display screen would possibly have an effect on how shortly it burns by means of a cost.

For most individuals, 120Hz is loads easy sufficient, however for the gaming crowd this cellphone is focused towards, 165Hz does deliver out a bit extra precision in what you’ll be able to see.

Launch dates aren’t but obtainable, however after they get a US launch the ROG Telephone 6 will begin at $1,000 and the 6 Professional will begin at $1,300. The telephones for now are set to first arrive in Europe at 999 euros (roughly £860 or AU$1,510) for the 6 and 1,299 euros for the Professional. This places them effectively into flagship territory when it comes to pricing, and an uptick over final 12 months’s ROG Telephone 5, which began at 799 euros.

Whereas we would wish to attend for a hands-on with the cellphone as a way to try its Snapdragon chip, this newest processor paired with the upper refresh price on a Samsung-made show are intriguing as they each may finally find yourself in additional mainstream telephones down the road.
