The ASUS ROG Phone 6 Pro and ROG Phone 6 made headlines as the world’s first gaming phones that use Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 5G chip. Their key difference? The Pro version boasts the customizable ROG Vision secondary screen on the back, just like its predecessor, while the vanilla variant features ASUS’ Aura RGB LED lighting system on the rear panel.

The RAM configuration is quite different as well. The ROG Phone 6 Pro can be configured with up to 18GB of fast LPDDR5 RAM. The non-Pro model, on the other hand, maxes out at 16GB RAM. You can see their respective specs below.
