Not only does Qualcomm’s new flagship chipset offer faster processing, but any device equipped with it is expected to benefit from an improved cooling system and more efficient power management. It also improves battery life and performance on the ROG Phone 6 and Phone 6 Pro compared to last year’s chip.
Larger camera lens and secondary screen
Another area where the ROG Phone 6 could improve is the camera. A leaked prototype of the ROG Phone 6 shows a larger camera module on the back. That either means a larger lens group onboard – or possibly an extra sensor.

Additionally, some sketches of alleged vanilla and Pro ROG Phone 6 models have been spotted. Apart from a larger secondary screen on the rear of both models, there aren’t any major changes, especially for the more expensive variants.
