Bmobile’s gaming family is expanding with a version that uses the most powerful chip from the company Mediatek – which will also be available here in Israel, in a limited version inspired by Batman
Asus has done a pretty impressive job with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip, which it has chosen for its compact Zenfone 8 model and the high-end ROG Phone 6, and now it’s time to find out if they can do an equally good job with the edition The upgrade of the most powerful chip in Mediatek’s lineup – the Dimensity 9000 Plus.
We will receive the proof in the framework of the ROG Phone 6D and ROG Phone 6D Ultimate devices, which take all the advanced features of the original ROG Phone 6 models with Qualcomm processors and perform a surgical replacement of the processing chip inside – in order to give users an enlarged and welcome option for us.
The ROG Phone 6D and ROG Phone 6D Ultimate both feature a 6.78-inch OLED panel with a resolution of 2,448×1,080 pixels, with an ultra-high refresh rate of up to 165 Hz, a 10-bit color display, a maximum brightness of 1,200 nits, and a protective cover Gorilla Glass Victus on top, Android 12 system, triple primary camera setup with a 1/1.56-inch 50-megapixel main sensor and 13-megapixel and 5-megapixel secondary sensors, 12-megapixel selfie camera, 6,000 battery An impressive internal mAh with 65 watt wired charging – and the aforementioned accelerated Dimensity 9000 Plus chip, with one large senior Cortex-X2 core at a maximum frequency of no less than 3.35GHz, three additional Cortex-A710 cores at a frequency of up to 3.2GHz, four cores Additional cost-effective Cortex-A510s with a frequency of up to 1.8GHz and a Mali G710 MC10 core with a frequency of more than 900MHz should provide a 10 percent improvement in capabilities compared to the same core in the standard Dimension 9000.
The differences between the regular 6D model and the 6D Ultimate model are reflected in the increased internal storage volume – and a small 2-inch external OLED screen that enriches the visual design, just as in the case of the differences between the ROG Phone 6 and ROG Phone 6 Pro , where one unique and exclusive addition is a motorized mechanical cover for the air intake designed to improve the operation of the external AeroActive Cooler 6 add-on by creating a direct path for the air to the system on the chip that is hidden inside.
The ROG Phone 6D, with 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage and 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5 memory, can be found at a starting price of 950 euros including tax in Europe, that is, approximately 3,210 shekels thanks to the winking exchange rate between the euro and the Israeli shekel these days – and The ROG Phone 6D Ultimate with 512GB of internal storage and 16GB of LPDDR5 will be available for an investment of 1,400 euros including tax, which is approximately NIS 4,730.
The model of the ROG Phone 6D that landed in Israel right after the announcement, quite surprisingly, is none of the ones we mentioned in the previous paragraphs – but a limited edition starring Batman, which adds unique elements to the software user interface, an exclusive black shade for the smartphone’s body, a custom protective cover, a tool Has a great simple look for pulling the SIM card tray out of the device and also a miniature flashlight that displays the bat sign as a nice collectible bonus for big fans of the character and the DC comics universe in general.
Underneath all these bonuses is the standard version of the ROG Phone 6D, in fact, with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage – at a very tough recommended price of NIS 5,480 in Israel, which feels somewhat excessive even when it stands on its own, even when compared to the – The original ROG Phone 6 which can now be obtained with the same memory volumes for NIS 4,080 “only” and also compared to the European price of the Batman version, which is 1,200 euros including tax or NIS 4,060 in direct conversion.
Is there a good justification for the existence of the 6D model in general, and the 6D model in the fancy Batman edition in particular? Feel free to write us what you think in the comments.
