Pros and Cons

Asus ROG Phone 6D

Strengths

Unconventional cyberpunk design that's smooth to touch and has a matte finish
Great performance with Mediatek Dimensity 9000 plus chipset, perfect for gaming
Awesome 165Hz refresh rate AMOLED screen with up to 8K video recording capability
Super fast charging feature (65W) that can fully charge the phone under 50 minutes

Weaknesses

Average camera performance, not suitable for excellent photo taking
A bit heavy at 239g and thick at 10.4mm, making it uncomfortable to hold
No micro SD card expansion, which might be a drawback for some users
Variable refresh rate affects battery life, but 120Hz is the sweet spot

Asus Zenfone 10

Strengths

The display has a great contrast, support for HDR 10 plus video, and good color accuracy.
The fingerprint reader is blazing fast and reliable.
The phone comes with IP68 protection against water and dust.
The battery life is similar to the previous model, but with better screen on results.
The charging speed is nearly the same as expected, with a 30 watt wired charger that can top up the phone from 0 to 60 percent in half an hour.
The cameras take solid day photos with plenty of detail and good dynamic range.
The main camera has gimbal stabilized video capture up to 8K at 24fps.
The Zenfone 10 is still a great phone, one of the best compact flagships on the market.

Weaknesses

The display's highest refresh rate setting is only usable in games.
The cameras lose autofocus on the ultra wide and selfie cams compared to the previous model.
The ultrawide cam's video quality is good, but lacks contrast and wide dynamic range.
There is a bit of sharpening in low light conditions that can lend details a slightly over-processed look.
The phone doesn't have any major upgrades over the previous model except for the chipset and wireless charging.
The white balance in indoor scenes with the selfie cam was a bit too cold.
You might not need to upgrade if you already have last year's Zenfone 9, as it's still a great phone.
The camera's ability to handle movement like running is not perfect.

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 Zenfone 10

The Asus Zenfone 10 is a compact flagship that sticks to its predecessor's winning formula. With a pint-sized yet premium design, similar display features, and a new chipset, the device looks poised for success. But with no major breakthroughs in camera technology and some compromises on features like autofocus, it's worth wondering if this iteration is worth upgrading from last year's model.
