The family of gaming-oriented smartphones ROG by ASUS has just welcomed two new members: the ROG Phone 6D and ROG Phone 6D Ultimate. Both models debut with a new processor signed by MediaTek, a completely renewed cooling system, and memory configurations that reach 16 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of internal storage.
Both models share most of the features, except for a small difference that makes the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate a unique model of its kind. In addition, the two terminals bear many similarities with the ROG Phone 6 and 6 Pro presented a few months ago.

the two new flagships from ASUS share a design with the ROG Phone 6 series, including the PMOLED display located at the rearwhich allows you to configure different lighting effects, including the brand logo or personalized messages.
Both phones have same 6.78-inch diagonal OLED screen, without any cutout and surrounded by reduced size margins, with two slightly wider edges at the top and bottom that provide symmetry to the front of the phone. The screen is protected by a glass panel Gorilla Glass Victus and reaches a maximum refresh rate of 165 hertz.
The true differential aspect between both models can be found at the back: the Ultimate version is the only one equipped with the AeroActive Cooler cooling system. It consists of a technology based on a “portal” located at the rear, which can be open through a motorized hinge to open the air channel when connecting the AeroActive Cooler 6 accessory, to thus dissipate the heat in a much more efficient and effective way.
