The new Asus ROG phone is built for gaming performance, but you’ll have to fork out R23,000.

The Asus ROG Phone 6 is available in South Africa now and carries a R23,000 price tag.Its core specs are a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, Adreno 730 GPU, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage.Gaming and performance go hand in hand, so when a gaming smartphone hits the shelves, you know it’s going to be beefed up.

When you flip the phone over, you'll see the details on the back that make it stand out from other premium smartphones. It has red accents, RGB lights, Republic of Gamers branding, a protruding camera so it never sits flush, and the words"dare to play" are printed in neon purple. If all of this is a bit much, you can use the muted textured cover included in the box, which is probably a good idea given how much the phone costs.

The Android 12 powered device only supports gestures, and there are no soft buttons like what you see on a regular Android. The Phone 6 has dedicated performance modes: X Mode for the best gaming performance; Dynamic is optimised for daily use; and Ultra Durable will preserve power. If you want the best gaming experience, X Mode is where it’s at - RGB lights glow in this mode. You can also individually tune it to your preference.

When it comes to the cameras, it features a 50MP main shooter; 13MP ultra-wide; and 5MP macro. For basic point and shoot with HDR on, it looks fine and doesn’t appear over saturated. I didn’t like the macro shots I took indoors, because some came out blurry. You always need to shoot them with a steady hand.
