For the first time in the storied history of ROG Phones, we have a MediaTek-powered ROG Phone. And not just any MediaTek chipset, but the flagship MediaTek Dimensity 9000+, which clocks all the way up to 3.2GHz. Say hello to the new ROG Phone 6D, Phone 6D Ultimate and Phone 6 BATMAN Edition, featuring the very best from MediaTek. And yes, the “D” is for “Dimensity”, so you can stop trying to make funny guesses.
ROG Phone 6D Ultimate — AeroActive Portal 6 for 20% better cooling
There isn’t much to talk about the ROG Phone 6D: it’s essentially a ROG Phone 6 with a Dimensity 9000+ chipset and faster LPDDR5X RAM. Accompanying the hardware is MediaTek’s HyperEngine 5.0 that allows for more optimized performance on the ROG Phone 6D series. And oh, the ROG Phone 6D series comes in an exclusive matte Space Gray finish. Setting the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate apart from its kin is its fancy new AeroActive Portal 6.
Taking advantage of the AeroActive Cooler 6’s fan and thermoelectric cooler, the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate features a “door” that opens up to a fin array that’s attached to the ultrathin vapor chamber within. The fin array increases the thermal surface area by 9X, and boosts thermal efficiency by 20% when the AeroActive Portal 6 is opened.
The AeroActive Cooler 6 will apparently push close to 1L of air through the fins to quickly dissipate the heat from the Dimensity 9000+, ensuring excellent sustained performance throughout your gaming sessions. ROG designed the AeroActive Portal 6 to open automatically when the AeroActive Cooler 6 is attached, reducing the need for human intervention to get the most out of your ROG Phone 6D Ultimate. This, is what makes the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate truly worthy of its name.
Of course, the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate will also come with the highest RAM and storage configuration. 16GB LPDDR5X RAM along with 512GB storage comes standard. Meanwhile the ROG Phone 6D can be equipped with 12GB LPDDR5X memory and 256GB of storage.
ROG Phone 6 BATMAN Edition — exclusive UI and merch bundle!
For you DC lovers out there, the ROG Phone 6 BATMAN Edition is coming. When it comes to internals, the ROG Phone 6 BATMAN Edition is similar to the ROG Phone 6D, with a Dimensity 9000+ under the hood. However, it’s not the inside that matters here, but the outside. The ROG Phone 6 BATMAN Edition will feature a special Batman-inspired design, UI theme and come in an exclusive storage case with a unique three-piece matching accessory set.
You will be getting a Bat-Signal Projector to beam the iconic Bat-Signal onto your wall, a Batman Aero Case that features a geometric rendering of the Bat emblem with a 3D effect on the outside, and an easter egg on the inside. Last but not least, even the SIM ejector gets the Batman treatment. It’s shaped like a Batarang, and there’s a Gotham City-inspired desktop holder so you won’t lose it anytime soon.
