Nice to see them keeping the headphone jack after the third iteration for the 5 and now the 6. You don't see a lot of these big phone companies having that extra feature on their newer phones nowadays. This will definitely work great for high audio quality headphones

[@toptiertech7291]

Just because there’s a headphone jack doesn’t mean it’ll work well with high quality headphones. You still want a good DAC. Like the LG V60 had a quad dac. So if you really care about headphone quality then buy a used V60 for 1/4th the price of this phone. You’ll get better camera and headphone quality

[@ALEC-0126]

@@toptiertech7291 Yeah that's a good point. It does depend on DAC support. I do know from various audiophiles on KZbin and from a bit of reaserch that bluetooth audio quality is very lossy and USB C can be a bit of a hassle to get around though. Apple is apparently working on making a wireless solution for lossless audio which I hope can really help evolve wireless audio in the future.

I bought ROG phone 3, one and half years ago, I'm not really a gamer, I usually play games on my PC, I bought it for normal usage for ₹42k (approx $530) and honestly it's the best decision I ever made.. there are many features that keep me wanting to explore more about this phone , and one of them is slow charging and a charging limit setter through which I can set my phone to be charged till 80%, it really helps in maintaining the battery life and 80% is enough to run a whole day having about 27% at the end of the day even if u scroll through Instagram for long hours during the day!! And these speakers are loud!! U won't know untill u take some other phone and compare it .. And for the screen part.. it's still butter smooth, I use it at 90hz nowadays but the screen at 60hz itself is too smooth and snappy... For cameras.. yes I agree it's not up to a flagship level but it manages to click great pics...it's not the worst and it's not the best either.. it does the job.. and as for video quality.. I've tried 4k 60fps and it's just beauty to take video in this phone.. obviously not better than other flagship phones but it's sharp and good enough to touch the flagship levels at the time when ROG phone 3 was released The size of the phone is indeed large but after some days of usage you'll get used to it and it won't feel that heavy anymore .. I still get security updates but Android 12 update is a bit delayed as it shows.. And now that I saw how ROG phone 6 is.. I feel like Asus are improving what was the first the problem of their customers in their older phone and making it better with their new phones.. big up to Asus for that..

Hey asus. Really helps sales when your phone is compatible with Verizon. Not the least popular US carrier.

This is an actual great value for money for us consumers, just because its a gaming phone, doesn’t mean it can’t be use as a daily, it won’t break unlike sports cars where they will have to stay in the workshop for days

I think depends on where you live, because if you want great for money there's a lot Chinese phone that can do almost like this ROG 6 but with half of price. This ROG 6 not that cheap & I can get S22 ultra with this price

[@siddchaudhary1995]

Last year when i bought a TUF laptop, i talked to one of Asus store employee regarding Rog phone and the number 1 complaint they receive from customers was the motherboard just fails after sometime....rest majority of the customers were happy

[@DafterHindi]

Its acceptable for bleeding edge technology imo

[@ajcpLive]

Hmmm that's weird, probably a few vs thousands? I've had the ROG 3 since it came out and it is still going strong! This after extensively using it for longer playtimes every single day while using the charging passthrough.

[@TheFordfx2]

Well said. Thanks for the review!

[@CallMeVidd]

Why was there a blur filter in the middle of the screen for the first third of the video?

[@gigahertz_1911]

I have the ROG 5 and I think this is just as good as any other flagship phone and I got it for $700 from eBay. 144hz, long lasting battery, fast and amazing display. I don't play games on it but anything I throw at it runs well. I'd say it was VERY underrated as a daily driver back then Edit: I'd also like to add that, at the time that I was looking for a new phone.... I was pretty set on getting the Sony Xperia 1 III which was priced at $1200 and wasn't even out yet. The only difference I saw between the ROG 5 and the Xperia 1 III was that the Xperia 1 III had wireless charging, 4k display and a much better camera. That wasn't enough of an upgrade for me for $500 extra so I went with the ROG 5. I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S7

The specs just killed it. Massive as always. I’d been wondering all these years how this works for graduate students. Well, can’t afford it yet. Hearing your analogy is just awesome!

[@toptiertech7291]

Depending on what you care about. What are you a graduate student in? Do you use your phone for school? If you don’t use your phone for school then it’s an irrelevant question. If you take photos or videos then this is a terrible idea. If you care about long battery life then this isn’t the best phone. It’s a gaming phone that honestly can’t take advantage of any of its specs because mobile games and emulation isn’t even close to pushing it to the limits. But if you just want an android phone and you like the look then get it.

[@siepka2]

Here's my 2cents on Asus phones: AMAZEBAAAAALLS! I've got my ROG 2 phone (12GB RAM, 2.96GHz, 6000 mAh, 512 mb) as soon as it came out in 2019. Before that, I've only used older cheaper 2nd hand phones. My main requirements were long battery life, lots of storage and fast response. These were the things that drove mad before and really created some anger management issues at times, and all of these things are now forgotten! It felt like I've suddenly entered into the future. I've got much much more, than I've initially wanted. 3 years and counting. Not planning to change it anytime soon. Every time I compare it to newest smartphones, the "innovations" are just not worth it yet! So far, only Asus has outdone Asus. Sure, camera isn't great. But for someone who has never used Instagram, only has FB to keep in touch with few people, and generally believes that moments are best kept in memory and not chased with cameras, whatever quality I get is enough for me. And I love the size and heaviness of my ROG 2. Love not having to charge it every day, sometimes even 3-4days. And gaming is as good as PC. This phone slows down only when 3% of battery is left. And still lasts for ~15min with that much, still while gaming! The real minus was the screen. About 1.5years into use I had it cracked on the stairs so bad, it went completely blank. When I tried to repair it, none of the shops had a replacement screen. I had to order it from china (~120euros), wait for about 2 months till it arrived and then had it repaired. Sadly, this summer I've cracked it again, but this time it's only a line of dead pixels, and even then it disappears, if I don't press on the screen to hard. For this beautiful creation a case is A MUST! Honestly, I doubt I'll need another phone for another 3 years. Maybe just change the screen again. That's how great it is! Edit: forgot to mention the lack of bloatware. Looking at you, Samsung.

[@juliancaesar4575]

Hey! You look like the perfect person to ask. I want the ROG6 Ultimate, I’ve heard people say the ASUS support isn’t good and only really cover updates for 2 years? What’s your take on that? I’m thinking the comment was maybe written wrong or something I’m just curious how the support is in general and as you’ve used them for years you can tell me.

nice, anyway about gaming on your rog phone, what game you played??

[@cqnzr-clipsgameplay5706]

@@juliancaesar4575 The fact that they don't constantly update their software on their phones is what make them last longer. New software, versions of android, aren't optimized to be used on older technology it is what essentially kills your phone in the end. I currently have the ROG 2 myself and it still works and plays games as good as it did when I first got it. The only thing that bothers me about it now is that it freezes up and doesn't record my finger movements, so I just have to turn the screen off and on again for it to become responsive again.
