ROG Phone 6D Ultimate | Unboxing & Review vs 6 Pro

Unboxing Asus’ ROG Phone 6D Ultimate, with a review of the gaming performance, battery life and features vs the still-fresh 6 Pro smartphone. Asus is smashing out the gamer phones in 2022 and the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate is the best yet, boasting Mediatek Dimensity 9000 Plus smarts vs Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. The resulting bonus battery life is astounding, although performance feels just as slick as before. And you've got otherwise identical specs and camera tech to the 6 Pro.
The UK asking price is £1199 for this Ultimate model, while the regular Aus ROG Phone 6D is £799. You can pre-order from today and they'll be released towards the end of October.
Boasting more impressive features and grunt than the Red Magic 7 Pro and other favourite gaming smartphones, the ROG 6D Ultimate can handle Genshin Impact, PubG, all of the top Android titles on maxed-out graphics settings. You can play all afternoon long thanks to the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate's excellent battery life and that bundled Aeroactive cooler. The other specs are super-premium too, from the OLED display to the slick audio smarts.
Is this one of the best gaming phones of 2022? Let us know your thoughts down below!

The phone is a real power house. I love the fact they are keeping the bezels on top and bottom to avoid unwanted touches.

Finger sweating doesn't always come from heat. It can come from stress or anxiety when gaming especially in competitive games like most battle royale games. So the fact that Asus thought about this isnt something to over look but instead should be thanked

As always nice review! could you please show us the result on Mobile legends when you press SETTINGS - NETWORK - PERFORMANCE TEST please ?

[@scottlewis2653]

I really like the unboxing of this ROG 6D Ultimate smartphone. Also, the features especially the Dimensity series chipset are quite impressive.

[@benjanelpacatang983]

This phone is soooo sick! Mediatek has proven themselves yet another time.

[@SniperVenom117]

Do you think the battery life could have been improved due to the colder weather we've had here in England now summer has passed? Since there's a 5-15⁰c difference depending what part you live in. Few months ago I'd get 3hrs playing CoDM with substantial heat whereas nowadays I get minimum 5hrs with little heat.

[@kaisenpaulguinaban1624]

Nope, the dimensity 9000 is just more efficient than its snapdragon counterpart. You can watch a lot of videos online demonstrating it.

Hello, nice video. I just did not get the 2 years of android updates, it means that after 2 years of use i won't be able to update android anymore?

I've just got the 6D ultimate and for some reason I'm having problems making and receiving calls, just ends the call if you try making one. It's not all the time either, when it's connected to WiFi it works fine and also sometimes when I'm out. I've tried redownloading the firmwire but didn't seem to do anything.

Strange how did you test everything when comparing the 6D ultimate to the 6 pro? your results are the complete opposite compared to GSMarenas testning. The 6D has quite a bit worse battery and thermals. Also it has worse GPU score.
