![]() ![]() We already discussed just how far Asus has come in terms of battery savings, controlled charging, and longevity options. ![]() Since the ROG Phone 6/6 Pro is tuned for optimal performance, it makes sense that, by default, apps are prevented from autostarting until told otherwise. The Battery care menu is also available, and so is the per-app autostart manager. First and foremost, this is where you can select from the trio of power modes and adjust their behavior. Last year's ROG Phone 5 rearranged and simplified these menus quite a bit and did away with the old PowerMaster menu. The battery menu, for instance, has a few interesting gems hidden away. Every advanced feature included makes sense and is typically slotted and well-organized within a sub-menu or an app. To be fair, though, none that we would actually consider bloat. Speaking of options, the ROG Phone 6/6 Pro has quite a few. Many of these are free of charge as well. Both with and without a gamer spin to their look. Joking aside, the theme engine in ROG UI is potent and includes a vibrant online repository with plenty of full theme and wallpaper options to explore. ![]() It is "too clean," if that makes any sense to you. It almost looks like a kid "alt and tabbed" their way onto this interface when caught playing games instead of studying. What you get is an Android AOSP experience. Putting a vanilla theme on the ROG Phone 6/6 Pro might sound counter-intuitive, but with its relatively toned-down gamer aesthetic, it can pull it off and pass under the radar as a "regular" smartphone in most situations. Just in case this all gets a bit too much for you or simply isn't your cup of tea, Asus still includes a clean, almost AOSP-like theme as an option. If set up accordingly, the RGB logo on the backfires up, as well as any compatible Aura Sync logo on attached ROG accessories. An animation on the default wallpapers gets initiated, symbols start shifting, glowing borders start shining around icons. That kick-starts an impressive sequence that would fit right in a Transformers movie. The first thing you absolutely need to try out is pressing the X Mode toggle. It's an aesthetic change more than anything else. The toggles are now big and much easier to hit than ever before. The number of options you are expected to want to "quick access" is a bit staggering. One swipe down for the quick toggles with the default ROG theme, and you might just feel like you are operating a nuclear reactor. The ROG Phone 6 is chock-full of all sorts of advanced options, toggles and menus all over the place. By the way, Asus promises two major OS updates and at least two years of security patches. On the contrary, it's another example of clear priorities and deliberate actions. So, it's not a case of Asus just being lazy and rehashing old software. The ROG Phone 6/6 Pro, for instance, ships with the latest Android 12 under the hood. Most of the upgrades that are in place are either visual redesigns and reorganizations or under-the-hood improvements. In fact, not a whole lot has changed visually coming from the ROG Phone 5 or even the ROG Phone 3 and ROG Phone II before that. The ROG Phone 6/6 Pro is still very much part of that trend. ![]() Massive-looking motion animations, glowing effects, flames, reactors. Even though there is a clear trend of toning down the really "out-there" aspects of the ROG Phone line, it still delivers plenty of gamer "chic" out of the box. Buyers seem to appreciate and even expect a certain amount of aggressive lines, every conceivable shade of red, lots of mechanical, geometric and alien visuals. The Republic of Gamers brand has always logically had a certain "gamery" aesthetic attached to it. It's a mesh kit-ready setup that offers a tremendous performance of the 5. We review the Asus ROG Rapture GT6 Mesh, this premium gaming router is compatible with the AX standard (Wi-Fi 6 but not 6E). Still, the custom-made ASUS ROG ROG NX (hot-swappable, pre-lubricated) switches are offered here, aimed at gamers and professionals. What we’ll find interesting about this product?
