The ASUS AI2201 B variant of the Asus ROG Phone 6 has received TENAA certification. Although we are unsure if this is the standard phone or the Pro, it validated several of the crucial specifications. It is most likely the Pro model given the memory setup.
The phone has almost the same measurements as the ROG Phone 5/5 Pro at 172.8 x 77.3 x 10.4mm. Unfortunately, there are currently no photographs connected and only a White colorway is mentioned. The new mode has managed to reduce weight somewhat while maintaining its size, coming in at 229g (all 5-series models weighed 238g).
6.78" AMOLED display and a 6,000mAh battery with two separate cells are housed inside the body (65W as before, confirmed by the 3C). A charger, USB cable, and a protective case are included in the retail packaging (at least for China).
One of the first smartphones to use the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is the ROG Phone 6, which Asus has already bragged about. According to TENAA information, it will have up to 512GB of storage and up to 18GB of RAM. Similar setups have been seen before, for example, the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate and 5s Pro had that much RAM.
According to the specifications, the primary camera on the rear would feature a resolution of 64MP. Additionally, a 5x optical zoom is mentioned, but because the ROG series was never camera-focused, it's possible that this is a mistake or mistranslation. Although we wouldn't exclude a periscope, we do not believe it is likely.
Nevertheless, there are 4 cameras in total, including a 12MP selfie camera, on board. The other two will likely be a macro module and an ultra wide camera, if we had to guess.
Except for the new processor, it doesn't seem like anything has changed since the 5-series. The TENAA spec sheet, however, isn't actually intended for customers and may overlook crucial information.
What about the screen refresh rate, for instance? The past two generations of Asus panels have been 144Hz, however there are reports that this year they may increase to 165Hz. Although it hasn't been confirmed by a dependable source, that will be a first.
On July 5, the Asus ROG Phone 6 will be publicly launched (a couple of weeks from now).
