Because to the upgraded manufacturing process and higher CPU and GPU clock rates, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC is said to be 10% faster in CPU performance and 30% more power-efficient on the CPU and GPU fronts at maximum clock speed. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC is said to be 15% more energy efficient than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
What will Asus ROG Phone 6 feature?
Although there is no confirmation of the ROG Phone 6’s exact specifications, the smartphone is likely to include at least 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and a 128GB UFS 3.1-based storage module.

The ROG Phone 6 will sport a big physical factor, a gigantic screen, and a dual speaker arrangement.
The smartphone is also believed to contain two USB Type-C connectors as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack with HD audio output capabilities. The smartphone will most likely sport a dual-camera configuration with up to 8K video recording capability.
Expected pricing for Asus ROG Phone 6
For the previous few years, Asus has maintained a beginning pricing of Rs. 49,999 for the base variant of the ROG Phone in India. The ROG Phone 6 is likely to follow a similar pattern.
