Preorders for Asus’ ROG 6 Android gaming phones are now open in North America

Following the original release in the UK and Europe, Asus has made the new ROG Phone 6 and Phone 6 Pro available for presale in North America. The newest edition of this gaming-focused smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor, which is a beefed-up version of the same CPU found in several current-gen premium Android smartphones like the Samsung S22 Lineup and the OnePlus 10. The ROG Phone 6 also boasts a minimum of 12GB of RAM and a 165Hz refresh rate screen with a resolution of 2448 x 1080 to cement its place as a go-to device for mobile gaming.

The ROG Phone 6 standard is available in two distinct variants. The cheapest model, which costs $999, comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The enhanced version, which costs $1,099, adds 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The ROG Phone 6 Pro has 18GB of RAM and 512GB of storage but is otherwise similar to the ordinary variants; however, it costs $1,299 more.
