1. Quick note! At 00:49 I meant to say that the Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro has a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 Processor, not the 8 Gen 1.

   Enjoy the rest of the video!

2. Does this phone support cdma

3. Tooo costly, thumbs down 👎

4. The only one I'd consider is the nubia and if I bought it the most it would play is minecraft and emulators. I just don't get the whole gaming phone thing.

5. •Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,200 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days.

6. Please don't recommend poco smartphone, they are shit

7. still on my rog 3.. it still OP atm.. no need to upgrade

8. Downvoting just for the clickbait title. If the phone is actually good don't name your video "don't buy x phone".

9. The Red Magic 7S Pro which is launching soon is probably the best alternative for people who are looking into the ROG phones. Same processor and probably a cheaper price.

10. With out the phone you are saying this like a *********
    Chal nikal

11. I'm still curious what kind of games people play on their phones to justify buying a gaming phone with a cooler…

12. I have Rog5 and that was like half the price of rog6 for almost the same features. Same headphone jack, same battery, bypass charging, reverse charging and more. Whats more rog5 did not come with ig, facebook bloat while rog6 has introduced them.

13. Regular 6, 12GB RAM version is the one I'm going with, also preordering to get the cooler included

14. What about the Black shark 5 pro?

15. i buy whatever i want, you should change the title lol. i got redmagic, shark and rog and all of them are amazing.

16. What's lacking from the Asus ROG phones series is a (decent) desks mode. One could take advantage of its prowess in more ways than just as a handheld.

17. say "asus are oh gee phone six pro" a few more times

18. I got the Red Magic 7 Quasar and I couldn't be happier. All the latest specs plus a headphone jack for $730. You can't really beat that.

19. The biggest draw for me for the ROG Phone 6 is the 6000mAh battery and the headphone jack. The Red Magic is tempting but i wish they would put a a slightly larger battery, just got longevity's sake.

20. Black sharks prices are more reasonable. Poco phones don't perform well.

21. Don't watch Android Authority (Alternatives)

22. Does the ROG 6 have a desktop mode like Samsung DeX or Moto Ready For yet?

23. Cool phones, but i will stay with my Nokia 3210

24. Snapdragon 8+ gen 1. why mistakes at the beginning???

25. Can Americans please stop making up pronunciation for foreign brands? In much of Asia, Asus is pronounced as 'A Ser S', not 'A Soo S'.

26. No one should buy a snapdragon 8 gen 1 phone for gaming again, you should all wait for the redmagic 7s and 7s pro if you want something affordable.

27. Buy a PC … end of video

28. watching this video on my ROG II. My phone is still a beast of a device I really don't find a reason to upgrade for another 3 years!

29. Lol did they not send you a free one?

30. Android is broken. No matter what specs you get on a phone the os is core. Android hasn't innovated for a long long time not to mention has started to develop bugs rather than developing itself to take advantage of the hardware. All android is going to be at most is a mobile console.

31. The only reasons why I would avoid this phone:
    – No Expandable Storage
    – Too large
    – Average camera

    Reasons to get it:
    – Headphone Jack
    – Flat screen without notch or punch hole
    – Notification LED

32. You lost me when you referred to the UK separately to Europe 🤦
    The UK is part of Europe, a physical area, not to be confused with the EU.

33. Chinese propaganda! Good job MF

34. No offense mate just a little shallow Imho. Many alternative with a snapdragon gen 1 chipset, but not many come close to the performance. The reason behind is THERMAL THROTTLING is a thing! I would had maybe agreed with you if you were pushing the Black Shark series. Nubia Red Magic 7 ain't bad the problem with this phone is like has it thermal throttling turned off. The result = insanely high temperature to the point it is not comfortable to hold. You guys got so many phone over there? Maybe try testing and pushing each their limits for more than an hour? This video just seems lazy, lack of knowledge and research.

35. ❤

36. Godly phone

37. It has an 8 (Plus) Gen 1. The difference between the 8Gen1 and (Plus) version is substantial. For one the (Plus) is made at TSMC. Compared to Samsungs inferior node. 2nd is a 10-15% performance boost along with 10°c lower Temps. TSMC is why I stuck with the Note20 Ultra which used the TSMC made SD865+. The OG SD865 is also made by TSMC but Qualcomm quickly jumped ship from the Samsung made 8Gen1 to TSMC for the 8+Gen1. The main reason, MediaTeks D9000 (which was made by TSMC) performed better in Temps and CPU/GPU tests and games. So, of course they couldn't have that. They had TSMC fab up the 8plusGen1. That's also the reason ASUS waited to launch the ROG Phone 6.

38. It's a great phone, what a dumb biased title

39. I kinda feel like you said so much and nothing at all. I'd say the biggest issue with Asus ROG phones is the software. Is a buggy mess. There are random glitches, crashes, and broken features. When they fix certain bugs it breaks others. I owned a couple of ROG phones but ultimately went back to Samsung (before ROG I had an S7 edge) and bought an S22 Ultra. To be honest is so much more phone for the money. I know it does not have the cooling or the shoulder buttons that the ROG has but you can buy adapters on ebay if you really needed them. The camera is leaps and bounds better than the ROG's as well as a WAY more polished software. Also add the radios on the ROG devices dont support many carriers and the phone is not that common so finding cases and screen protectors is pretty limited. Lasty the water resistance rating is hit or miss wich is mainly why I switched. You can dunk an S22 Ultra on a pool and it will be fine, not so much with ROG phones. Dont get me wrong I love ROG phones but there way too many compromises to "daily drive" them over anything more mainstream like an Iphone or a Samsung. You really have to go against the grain to use one everyday. Keep in mind I compare it to the S22 Ultra because these phones are expensive and it only makes sense to compare to other flagships.

    Hope this helped.

40. Realme gt neo 3 is the best alternative.. dimensity 8100 destroys SD 888+ and 8 gen 1 in terms of stability in frame rates

41. Imagine buying this just to play games on phones lmao
