Asus ROG Phone 6 and ZenFone 9: everything we know
For some years now, Asus has been producing well-made Android smartphones. On the one hand, pushing to bring gaming smartphone capable of superior performance.

On the other hand, it wants to propose smartphones top of the range at a competitive price, giving up gamer aesthetics and improving the photographic department.
Both phones are very interesting and meet different needs. And for both, there have been several specs rumors.
ROG Phone 6, the new reference model for gamers
There are some details regarding the ROG Phone 6 that you can expect from any quality gaming smartphone in 2022. We are going to have a powerful processor for gaming (although we don’t yet know who will make it for sure, it is thought to be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888). And then a lot of RAM, up to 16-18GB.
But Asus also wants to offer a gaming experience that goes beyond pure power. So there will be a screen capable of 165Hz Of refresh rate, better than the 144Hz of the last edition (and the best in its category). We also expect a frame per second count that is significantly higher than the current 256FPS, even double that. All with a Super Cooler Boost that keeps the temperature lower, increasing game stability by 30%.
On top of that, it seems ASUS wants to equip the ROG Phone 6 with a three cameras on the backone of which from 64MP. So that you can also take quality photos with this smartphone whose priority remains that of gaming.
There is also the possibility that this smartphone has a larger secondary screen and that it may have improved battery performance as well.

The ZenFone promises to focus more on advanced features and photography, while giving up something in terms of sheer power. The basic system should remain the same at the hardware level: even here we should see it Snapdragon 888although there is the possibility of selling the upgraded version of Qualcomm’s processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. We should find 16GB Of RAM and several storage options.
However, the screen should have a more ‘normal’ refresh rate, from 120Hz as is becoming common practice for all top of the range. However, they should be rounded on the edges, instead of the flat screen we expect on ROG Phone 6.
On the back of the smartphone we will find two cameras, positioned vertically and of larger dimensions. The main sensor should have 50MP while l’ultrawide 12MP. We don’t have any details on what the sensors should be, but it looks like they’ll be well-made.
Behind the ZenFone 9 you will also find the sensor for the “double tap“, Which should allow for new and interesting functions (app activations, shortcuts, etc.). The hope is that it is highly configurable, although we will have to wait for the presentation to find out more.

Both Asus smartphones are expected to arrive by i next two months, although there is still no candidate date for the launch. Both should have the latest version of Android 12 and ensure future updates for at least a couple of years.
