Huge ROG Phone 6 leak reveals all about Asus’ gaming flagship

We’ve known for a while that the Asus ROG Phone 6 is coming soon, but some of the finer details — like a full specifications breakdown — have remained unclear. That is until a leak posted to the Chinese blogging site Weibo by user Digital Chat Station detailed everything about the ROG Phone 6.

Up to this point, Asus had shared a few key details about the gaming phone that also showed up in the leak. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and the 165Hz refresh rate were both previously mentioned, but the additional details shared on Weibo are making the ROG Phone 6 out to be a true must-buy for mobile gaming fans.

The display will be a 6.78-inch OLED Samsung panel that supports the previously known 165Hz refresh rate. While the screen isn’t any bigger than the ROG Phone 5, the improved refresh rate should make gaming seem even smoother on the ROG Phone 6. The ROG Phone 5 shipped last year with a 144Hz refresh rate, while most other flagships have a 120Hz rating.

Behind the display, the leak claims that the ROG Phone 6 will have 18GB of RAM but doesn’t mention anything about internal storage. The battery will reportedly have a capacity of 6,000mAh and support 65W fast charging. Like the ROG Phone 5 before it, the ROG Phone 6 will have an in-display fingerprint scanner.

The only other detail that the leak mentions is that the ROG Phone 6 will have a 64-megapixel triple camera, but doesn’t mention what the other lenses will be. While having high-resolution cameras is certainly a perk in all flagship smartphones, they’re not necessarily why most fans will flock to the ROG Phone 6.

Asus’ ROG line of smartphones is one of the go-to’s for mobile gaming fans who want a smartphone with a clear gaming focus. It’s important to take all leaks with a grain of salt, but this one seems to be right in line with our expectations for the ROG Phone 6. Either way, it looks like we’ll know soon enough as Asus’ full reveal event for the ROG Phone 6 is happening in early July.

Mega gaming phone’s specs look set to crush the competition

Asus is preparing to launch the ROG Phone 9 and 9 Pro in November, and we've been given a hint at the specificationa in an extensive leak ahead of the big day. The ROG Phone 9 and 9 Pro will both have 6.78-inch displays with a variable fresh rate up to 120Hz, according to YTechB. However, there's a dedicated "Game Genie" mode (which is an excellent name for a gaming phone feature) that can reach up to 185Hz — perfect for competitive games like Call of Duty Mobile. The screen resolution is 1080 x 2448 pixels, and the phone itself measures in at 163.77 by 76.78 by 8.9 mm.

As far as the processor goes, the ROG Phone 9 and 9 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and the Adreno 830 GPU. Of course, they'll both sport Android 15, too. We aren't sure how many different configurations will be available, but it seems the ROG Phone 9 will have the option of 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, while the Pro model will likely have 16GB of RAM and 512GB storage. It's possible there will be other options, too.

Official OnePlus 13 product render in three colors.

At this point, it's common news that the OnePlus 13 will launch in China tomorrow. Obviously, we would get all of the specs on the phone at launch, but the Chinese telecommunications authority TENAA (similar to the Federal Communications Commission in the U.S.) recently shared an almost complete specs list. Since it's coming from an official agency, this is information that you can pretty much take at face value.

According to the certification, the OnePlus 13 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and will come with a 4.1GHz CPU, and have a 6,000mAh battery. We already knew most of these details from previous leaks, but it's good to see them confirmed.
