Asus The ROG Phone 6 is set to launch on July 5. The main event will be available to stream in India from 5:30 pm onwards, though it is not immediately clear whether the series will hit global markets as well as India.

The ROG Phone 6 is confirmed to launch with Qualcomm’s all-new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip.

Not much is known about the rest of the ROG Phone 6 hardware, but Asus is already pushing the boundaries, with the last model, it will be interesting to see where the series will go next. As usual, Asus will also launch new accessories and gaming headphones with the ROG Phone 6.

Under the hood, you get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ chip. While the 5s Pro comes with up to 18GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of UFS3.1 storage, the 5s comes with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS3.1 storage. There is no micro-SD card slot.
