Pros and Cons

Motorola Edge 40 Pro

Strengths

The Moto Edge 40 Pro brings some revamped features which bring it more along the lines of an ultra model
A 165 Hertz OLED display for smoother swiping and scrolling
IP68 waterproofing, a telephoto zoom, and 125 watt fast charging make this phone a premium device
Long-term software support with three years of OS upgrades and four years of security patches
The Snapdragon 8 gen 2 chipset provides better performance and efficiency than the previous generation
A long-lasting battery with great endurance rating of 117 hours

Weaknesses

Some aspects of the camera quality don't live up to the flagship price tag
Regular two-time zoomed photos from the telephoto cam are just okay, not the sharpest around and heavily processed
The ultrawide's photos aren't great either, with a high contrast and sharpening applied, and noise visible in areas like the skies
Night mode processing can be hit or miss, sometimes losing details in highlights or shadows
The zoom camera does a good job with night mode processing, but disabling it results in darker shadows and heavy noise reduction
The front-facing camera produces selfies at 15 megapixels instead of the actual 60 megapixel resolution

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
