1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,680 are you really even a gamer if you don't have a gaming phone what are you playing 2 00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:08,960 on your pc get out of here man 3 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:18,240 ASUS is back with a republic of gamers 4 00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:22,480 rog gaming phone number six 5 00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:22,480 and the six pro which we have today 6 00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:27,680 and then it just goes back down okay 7 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:33,360 there's so much going on in this box right now how do i okay so that comes 8 00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:37,920 out that's the phone and then what's over here this is a little card join the 9 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:42,399 republic for those who dare and i plug that into my cyberpunk motorcycle and 10 00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:44,800 then we go and it's akira time it seems like there's more moving parts that i 11 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:49,360 want to hello but i think the box reminds you of like 12 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,440 just what we're dealing with here none of this is function it's all form it's 13 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:57,280 all fun maybe one of the most important things about this phone is that it's one 14 00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:02,800 of the first is it the first on the market with the qualcomm snapdragon 8 15 00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:06,080 plus gen 1 the top tier smartphone chip 16 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,960 it's exciting to see that chip debut in 17 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,880 a phone that may properly be able to take advantage of its performance this 18 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:16,320 is my pixel 3. this is my pixel 3 with a case on it it is still a little bit 19 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:22,159 thinner but it's pretty close can you see that andy so this is a chunky boy 20 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:24,400 and just like uh the previous rog phone 21 00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:30,479 models or at least the the last one there's a display on the back on the 6 22 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:33,280 pro the 6 a non-pro does not have a 23 00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:36,640 display it has an illuminated RGB logo now let's start here because this is the 24 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:41,840 this is the thing that kind of like defines the rog gaming phone this side 25 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:46,479 mounted USB-C port to make it a little bit easier to game and charge at the 26 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:52,640 same time they also have the one on the bottom but the one on the side here is 27 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:54,799 usb 3.1 gen 2 and this one is just 2.0 28 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:59,680 but they both will get you fast uh charging using the uh included 65 watt 29 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:05,040 adapter uh but this one also supports displayport 1.4 so you can output video 30 00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:11,599 sim card slot because there is no sd card support it comes with 512 gigs of 31 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:14,400 storage on the top we have nothing maybe 32 00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:19,280 a mic there or something on this side we got the volume rocker and the power 33 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:25,280 button and i guess these are like to denote the air triggers once again 34 00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:30,640 for gaming over here you got a headphone jack yes oh as we turn it on we got the 35 00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:37,360 display powering up on the back on the back we got 50 megapixel uh with a sony 36 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:39,599 im x7 37 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:44,319 sensor everyone's waiting for me to say those numerical designations uh next to 38 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:48,640 that is the ultra wide 13 megapixel ultrawide and next to that is an 39 00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:54,319 interesting addition it's a macro 5 megapixel sensor this is for gamers 40 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:59,360 and gamers want to get really nice close-up shots of all their their little 41 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:05,760 chocobo mini figurines their little what are those things called funko pops and 42 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:10,000 on the front we have a 12 megapixel 43 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:11,200 also sony sensor imx 663 which is why it 44 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,599 was important for me to tell you about that first one don't forget it but first 45 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,120 the true reason why we're here thanks to team grip for sponsoring this video team 46 00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:25,599 group is currently giving away an exclusive set of their 32 Gigabyte delta 47 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:28,000 RGB 6400 megahertz ddr5 RAM as support 48 00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:33,280 for Intel's xmp 3.0 one click overclocking for ultra fast speeds in a 49 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:37,440 single click and it features 120 degrees of ultra wide RGB lighting with the 50 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:42,400 clean geometric silhouette team group will also be releasing a new gen 5 SSD 51 00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:48,159 and all new aio liquid cooler that will be able to cool your CPU and m.2 2280 52 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:52,400 SSD at the same time learn more about the giveaway and their delta RGB ddr5 53 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,280 RAM at the link down below one of the big things that i didn't say about the 54 00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:00,400 overall hardware of the phone is the screen it's a 165 hertz 55 00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:05,599 display up from 144 hertz on the previous one and it's got 56 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,360 720 hertz touch sampling rate the end 57 00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:14,159 result isn't going to be that much more noticeable like look at that 58 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:16,160 and it's an amoled screen hdr10 plus and 59 00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:20,959 i think it's 111 dc ip3 color gamut coverage which means 60 00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:25,840 that the color accuracy is going to be pretty good the rog phone 6 and 6 pro 61 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:30,560 can go up to 800 nits sustained brightness 1200 peak it's not quite to 62 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:36,240 the level of other flagship phones that we're seeing now that have like a thousand nit brightness sustained that 63 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:40,400 is so it's a one millisecond response time i guess if you have a physical 64 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,320 controller connected but it's 23 milliseconds touch latency 65 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,400 what does that mean it's got an as coating that's supposed to reduce 66 00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:52,160 friction when hand sweating you know when your hand's sweating okay in the 67 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:57,840 comments if you know what an as coating is let us know in here we got the aero 68 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:02,639 active cooler they've updated this model a little bit for the uh gaming phone 6 69 00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:06,320 and 6 pro it's got extra buttons on here i'm not 70 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:10,880 sure whether the previous one had four buttons i might have had two but this 71 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:17,520 one has a thermoelectric ai cooling system based on peltier cooling chip 72 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:20,160 peltier there's also the kunai 3 game 73 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:24,400 pad oh look at that case that's nice so this is like the nintendo 74 00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:29,520 switch thing where you have the phone and then you have these bumper controllers that are kind of like 75 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:34,240 joy-cons that's not what that is oh you have to put this on the phone watch this 76 00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:37,280 slides in these must be the joy-cons in the really 77 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:43,840 cool case oh yeah see there it is and then i can 78 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:48,240 this whole thing slides into that oh it just clips in cool all right so 79 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:52,080 you can connect that to your phone how do you know how do you oh that's the 80 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:55,360 release whoa 81 00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:59,360 whoa oh these are these joysticks are legit 82 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,639 too oh look at that i just plugged it in and it's automatically working there's 83 00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:06,800 no pairing or anything successful system update thank you sir you know i've got 84 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:10,080 to say i was pretty skeptical when i was like uh these gaming phones do you 85 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:15,039 really need that but now that i'm holding it i'm like this is a pretty good experience i don't know if i would 86 00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:19,120 pay a thousand dollars which is what it costs for the rog phone six and thirteen 87 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:24,639 hundred euros slash usd for the uh six pro if you are 88 00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:28,639 dropping that money this is like a nice experience i gotta say like this does 89 00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:35,199 not feel cheap so let's strap this thing on what is that look at oh it's a stand 90 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,680 this is cool okay so you plug it in you 91 00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:41,759 just put that on the top you clamp her down you can still use that usb-c port 92 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:46,080 there's pass-through when you plug this thing in that's awesome so this is an 93 00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:50,800 interesting little bit of design here because most phones you know they won't 94 00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:54,479 really they'll have the CPU of the phone you know wherever they can it makes 95 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:58,400 sense to fit it but the rog phone has the qualcomm 96 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:02,639 CPU right in the center of the phone and then above that they have a vapor 97 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:06,800 chamber and then graphite sheet that kind of disperses the heat from the CPU 98 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:10,560 and that helps normally but then when you strap this thing on it kind of like 99 00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:15,360 amplifies the cooling power that's already there because of that setup and 100 00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:17,759 on either side of the CPU they have two 101 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:22,080 3 000 milliamp hour batteries so you got a 6 000 milliamp hour battery all 102 00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:26,560 together in this thing i believe now attaching the aero active cooler should 103 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:31,440 put us right into advanced power modes man every time you 104 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:36,160 unlock it it makes that sound so armory crate is the app included with the rog 105 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:41,280 ui flavor of Android that you can choose to 106 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:46,560 use or you can use uh choose to use like ASUS is more kind of non-gamery zen ui 107 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:50,800 which they use in like the zenfone and that kind of stuff and uh here in armory 108 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:56,160 crate is this where i would choose power modes oh yeah here we go okay CPU GPU we 109 00:07:54,479 --> 00:08:01,440 got the temperature we've got the refresh rate maxed out networking 110 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,520 enhancement battery endurance is low 111 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:07,680 but i guess because you know those kind of those gotta play off and trade off 112 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:12,240 with each other you know they they don't get along well oh change it so you can 113 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,520 change it to ultra durable so we got way more battery 114 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:20,400 lasting and then you can change it to x mode so like i just went into the 115 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:24,479 settings earlier and changed it to 165 hertz manually but then armory crate 116 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,319 kind of will let you do this as like you can set profiles and just switch between 117 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:33,279 them like that i'm confusing the CPU a lot right now it's getting pretty mad 118 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,680 arrow active cooler more settings uh 119 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:38,479 i can't uh i can't change things here now we are plugged in now we have 120 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:43,839 maximum power it's going i i just do you hear that 121 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,360 whoa this is the most annoying thing about 122 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:50,880 mobile games every time i do a video where it's like going to involve me 123 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:54,080 playing some sort of like high fidelity mobile game i'm like all right let's do 124 00:08:52,640 --> 00:09:00,160 let's let's try it out and then it's like waiting 22 days later 125 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:03,440 one thing i wanted to talk about briefly was the fact that this is a gaming phone 126 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:08,399 and yeah it comes with the cool accessories it's got the cooler and it's got the most powerful processor and an 127 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:15,760 Android phone on the market and all that stuff and that's cool but is it good as like a phone and i 128 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:20,160 think that on a number of things it is a little bit disappointing it's ipx4 which 129 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:25,279 is just splash proof uh you know water resistance they're promising two years 130 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:29,760 of security updates and two Android os updates but other phone makers are 131 00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:33,760 promising three years or three os updates or even like four or five when 132 00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:37,800 it comes to like the oems other things i didn't talk about audio it's got the 133 00:09:35,839 --> 00:09:41,920 cirrus logic cs35l45 amp just like the previous model 134 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,680 i wanted to talk about the speaker situation because unlike other phones 135 00:09:43,839 --> 00:09:49,040 you also have these big bezels like this is a pixel 3 and at this point it was 136 00:09:47,839 --> 00:09:52,640 already getting kind of old that we had bezels like this so but i understand why 137 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,080 they put them there because i will appreciate front facing speakers 138 00:09:54,160 --> 00:10:03,120 especially on a gaming phone dude the RAM situation is similar to the rog 5 139 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:06,079 where you got 16 gigs on the 6 and 18 140 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:10,720 gigs on the 6 pro yeah the RAM is one of the few differences between the 6 and 141 00:10:08,079 --> 00:10:15,760 the 6 pro so like it's a 300 difference but what are you getting the the rear 142 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:20,079 display the 6 doesn't have the animated display and the pro does so is that 143 00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:26,959 worth 300 that'll be up to you because everything else is the same unless i'm wrong this 144 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:29,600 is how you move around okay pretty cool 145 00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:34,160 we found the game genie that lets us uh configure the air triggers okay 146 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:38,480 ultrasonic buttons turn them on here we go tap 147 00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:42,160 yeah i'm tapping it nice there they are i think the last time i did the rog 148 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:46,800 phone i couldn't figure out the triggers i was like how do they where are they 149 00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:50,000 but like to be fair there's some configuration that has to happen you 150 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:53,519 can't just like drop in so i guess that's still the argument for like a 151 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:57,839 switch or a steam deck or something the new air trigger system apparently 152 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:01,200 there's 14 different actions you can perform between like swiping left and 153 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,800 right swiping up and down hitting certain parts of the screen that's cool 154 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:09,120 to have that uh available to you you know what else is cool and available 155 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:14,720 ShortCircuit hoodie wow you were just waiting for me to put that on 156 00:11:10,959 --> 00:11:17,040 oh man i'm so gamer right now oh and now 157 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:21,600 the cooler's working the lights are on okay we're experiencing some technical 158 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:25,680 difficulties with uh the gaming side there but suffice to say 159 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:29,360 for the uh for the hardcore gamers you're gonna have some options available 160 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:33,920 to you you got some cool accessories you got the armory crate to make sure that 161 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:40,680 you can customize your experience how you want to do it how do i get out of here 162 00:11:36,079 --> 00:11:40,680 crab rave show me what you got 163 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:48,370 pretty good 164 00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:53,440 oh man yeah this one is like missing a little 165 00:11:51,839 --> 00:11:58,800 bit of mids that this one fills out nicely um we're on the 50 megapixel main 166 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:04,959 shooter right now i guess and then there's a 0.6 option that okay so that's 167 00:12:02,079 --> 00:12:11,120 using the 13 megapixel ultra wide now i can shoot video at 8k and 24fps 4k at 168 00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:14,560 120 slow motion mode that's pretty good 169 00:12:12,959 --> 00:12:18,480 stabilization like whoa 170 00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:22,800 whoa i'm actually pretty impressed by that what do you think Jake uh am i your 171 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,839 favorite ShortCircuit host you're one of them i'm going to have 12 of my 172 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:30,160 favorite hosts gonna burn it to the ground those photos aren't horrible 173 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:35,200 that's the ultra wide one so it's going to be a little less this is the 50 174 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:37,600 megapixel highest quality lots of detail 175 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:40,800 uh colors are maybe a bit washed out i mean overall it seems like it's like a 176 00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:45,839 decent camera for sure i don't think that it's gonna let anyone super down 177 00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:50,720 but again why a macro lens instead of a telephoto just put that on that's the 178 00:12:47,839 --> 00:12:55,040 selfie cam okay now i'm in a macro mode oh man you can tell that's only five 179 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:59,440 megapixels is it dirty back here that doesn't look like alloy at all 180 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:03,519 yeah now that i see like other photos the color is definitely lacking i mean 181 00:13:01,839 --> 00:13:07,760 it could it could tell that there was a lot of colors going on here so it popped 182 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:13,760 everything anyways i think that's about enough playing around in a very 183 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:16,000 non-professional way the rog phone 6 pro 184 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:19,519 it's a gaming phone it has the top-end mobile 185 00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:25,279 CPU you can get in a phone right now it's got a crazy amount of RAM 16 gigs 186 00:13:22,959 --> 00:13:29,600 or 18 gigs in the pro version it's got a completely unnecessary back display it 187 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:32,880 also doesn't have wireless charging and i wonder if they didn't include it 188 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:36,959 because of the rear display so it's missing a few things that you definitely 189 00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:40,480 want to see on a you know thousand plus thousand dollar smartphone on the other 190 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,360 hand it's got all these cool gaming features so if you are somebody who is 191 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:47,279 just like lives and breathes mobile gaming it seems like this is one of the 192 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:52,079 best options if if not the best option for the person who like absolutely needs 193 00:13:49,839 --> 00:13:55,360 that you know mobile gaming experience but 194 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:58,560 that's not me i'm just riley and this is just ShortCircuit so subscribe if you 195 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:03,040 want more heartfelt uh sentiments like that from 196 00:14:00,959 --> 00:14:07,040 me and probably not for me actually from other people because they're never going to let me back here again
