From what we have seen so far, the main update of the Asus ROG Phone 6 will be the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, which will take the place of the 888+ of last year’s model. The new phone tried Geekbench and left a scorecard.
We’ve already tested the 8 + Gen 1, but it was an engineering unit we received from Asus rather than a retail-ready device. This is the real thing and it scored slightly higher than the results we got.

This particular ROG Phone 6 unit had 16GB of RAM. The TENAA certification brings the capacity up to 18GB, which will be the high-end option. There should also be a version with 12GB of RAM (maybe even one with 8GB).

Either way, the new Adreno 730 GPU runs at 10% higher clock speeds than the original Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which will help it achieve higher frame rates. How much higher? We don’t know this yet as Geekbench only tests the CPU. But Asus has confirmed that the new model will have a 165Hz display (instead of 144Hz as in the previous two generations).

In addition to this, the new model should have the screen of the same size, 6.78 “and a battery: 6,000 mAh with fast charging of 65 W.
Asus will unveil the ROG Phone 6 on July 5th with events in Taipei, Berlin and New York.
