Asus ROG Phone 6D

The Asus ROG Phone 6D is a beast of a device that's set to take the gaming world by storm. Its unconventional cyberpunk design at the back is a dead giveaway for its purpose - it's a gaming phone, through and through. Equipped with a stunning 6.78-inch AMOLED display, this powerhouse packs a punch with its high-performance Mediatek Dimensity 9000+ chipset. But what really sets it apart is its 165Hz refresh rate, ultrasonic shoulder triggers, and impressive battery life - all of which make for an unparalleled gaming experience. Can it live up to the hype?

Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro

The Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro is a gaming powerhouse that's shedding its niche persona for mainstream appeal. This latest iteration boasts a more compact design, proper ingress protection, and wireless charging - making it a viable option for those who don't necessarily identify as gamers. The camera upgrade is particularly notable, but compromises have been made elsewhere, such as the smaller battery, punch hole cutout on the display, and downgraded speakers and air trigger controls.
