Both the Asus ROG Phone 6 and the ROG Phone 6 Pro have a 6.78-inch full HD+ Samsung AMOLED display with HDR10+ compatibility and special ROG tuning technology.
Both devices include a 6,000mAh battery and a triple rear-facing camera system.
Asus ROG Phone 6 and ROG Phone 6 Pro Specifications
The Asus ROG Phone 6 and the Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro share a large number of technical specs.
