This Asus ROG Phone 6 Diablo Immortal Edition has experienced a Satanic price cut
And there's another special edition for the same price.
Asus' ROG Phone 6 is certainly one of the best gaming phones money can buy today, and the entire concept of the device has been on quite a resurgence in recent years as mobile games become more advanced, and as cloud gaming from consoles or your PC becomes more of a norm than a niche. If you want to get on the act with an interesting option, this Diablo Immortal Edition of the ROG Phone 6 is available from Asus for a clever price - it's currently £666.
The biggest thing here is that left-field design, which features Diablo Immortal logos and branding across the phone's back casing. Of course, the devil is in the details, and the ROG Phone 6 is certainly a fetching device if you like phones with an evil aesthetic. Come to think of it, that isn't something i'd really thought about before. It's not just the phone that's plastered with Diablo Immortal tie-in stuff, though as it comes in special packaging inspired by the game's Horadic Cube, complete with a map of Sanctuary on a leather mat of sorts which shows up under UV light. You also get a special SIM tray needle that features a Diablo emblem - for me, it's a bit much, but if you're a fan of Diablo, then this might be right up your alley.
Underneath all the branding though, the ROG Phone 6 is also a rather capable handset in its own right. It's powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, complete with Asus' clever GameCool 6 cooling system that keeps things cool. To get the best out of that cooling system, Asus has moved the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip to the middle of the phone, away from the edges of the metal frame to where it is going to be its coolest, and you can attach an additional fan in this exact place to keep the phone running at reasonable temperatures. Its 16GB of RAM gives you enough headroom for multi-tasking and playing games, while 512GB of storage is a decent capacity for apps, games, and even some music or films.
The ROG Phone 6's screen isn't exactly small either, with a 6.78 inch curved Samsung AMOLED panel, complete with vibrant colours and excellent brightness. There are also dedicated viewing modes, as well as custom colour profiles to suit your eyes. The 2448x1080 resolution is lower than similarly priced generalist devices, but as most games are displayed at 1920x1080, the ROG Phone 6 deals with it well, complete with a 165Hz refresh rate for buttery smooth output. You also get a decent selection of rear cameras, with a 50MP f/1.9 main snapper, as well as a 13MP f/2.2 ultrawide sensor, and a 5MP f/2 macro lens, and there's also support for up to 8K/30fps video, or more logically 4K/60fps. In addition, the 6000mAh battery it offers is massive, and provides you with some solid endurance. The quick charging present on the ROG Phone 6 is also impressive, with its 65W charging offering up to 60% charge in 19 minutes.
Before I go, I should also say that the Batman Edition of the ROG Phone 6 is also currently £666 from Asus' store. It's the same phone as the option above, but comes with a lot of Batman branding, as opposed to Diablo Immortal branding. The box it comes in is designed to look like an armaments box, while it also features a Bat Signal projector, Batman Aero case and a Batman logo shaped SIM ejector pin. That's pretty cool!
For a solid gaming phone with some great specs and some left-field design, this Asus ROG Phone 6 Diablo Immortal Edition for £666 from Asus is a great find.
