One of the upcoming Asus ROG Phone 6 models, ASUS_AI2201_B, has been certified by TENAA. This confirmed some of the key specs, although we’re not sure if this is the vanilla phone or the Pro. Given the memory configuration, it’s probably the Pro model.
The phone measures 172.8 x 77.3 x 10.4mm, basically the same size as the ROG Phone 5/5 Pro. Only a white colorway is listed, but unfortunately there are no photos attached yet. Despite remaining the same size, the new mode managed to reduce weight and has now dropped to 229g (all 5 Series models weighed 238g).

The body houses a 6.78 ”AMOLED display and a 6,000 mAh battery divided into two cells for fast charging (65 W as before, confirmed by 3C). The retail package (for China at least) will contain a charger, a USB cable and a protective case.
Asus has already bragged that the ROG Phone 6 will be one of the first to introduce the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Based on TENAA information, it will come with up to 18GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. We have seen similar configurations in the past too, for example the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate and the 5s Pro had so much memory.
The main camera on the back will have a resolution of 64 MP, according to the specs. There is also a mention of the 5x optical zoom, but that could be a mistake or a mistranslation as the ROG series was never focused on the camera. We wouldn’t say no to a periscope, we just think it’s unlikely.
However, there are a total of 4 cameras on board, including a 12MP selfie camera. If we had to make a guess about the other two, they will be an ultra wide camera and a macro module.
The data sheet of the Asus ROG Phone 6 (ASUS_AI2201_B) by TENAA
It doesn’t seem like much has changed since the 5 series, aside from the new chipset. However, the TENAA data sheet is not really aimed at consumers and can leave out important details.
For example, what about the screen refresh rate? Asus has been using 144Hz panels for the past two generations, but this year Asus has expected a refresh rate of 165Hz.
The Asus ROG Phone 6 will be unveiled globally on July 5th (in a couple of weeks).
