We’ve already been wowed by ASUS Republic of Gamers’ latest flagship gaming phone evolution, the ROG Phone 6, and now they’ve upped the ante with two very special, limited edition themed releases. Words Bec Summer T he ROG Phone 6 was already a stunning-looking piece of kit with its slick, cyberpunk influenced design featuring angular lines, futuristic RGB lighting, and a large 6.78-inch AMOLED screen that’s truly a sight to behold. Now, imagine adding to all that – and features like low latency, HDR support and an incredible 165Hz refresh rate – either a Batman or Diablo theme. The result is much as you’d expect – sensational!

THE DIABLO IS IN THE DETAILS What better way to play the massive multiplayer experience that is Diablo Immortal than on a matching phone? The stunning, red-themed design of the ROG Phone 6 Diablo Immortal Edition features a detailed outer design that showcases a menagerie of demons and monsters. Along for your quest comes a theme pack, chock full of special Diablo Immortal animations, live wallpapers, sound effects, and even incoming call notifications. BOXING WITH DIABLO Impressive packaging is the order of the day for the ROG Phone 6 Diablo Immortal Edition, inspired by the legendary Horadric Cube. Inside is a box to store the ROG Phone 6, modelled on the equally as legendary Worldstone. Accessories include a hardy Shield Blessing Aero Case with Teleport design to protect your investment, and a special ‘Immortality awaits’ ejector pin. A map of Sanctuary is a neat touch, made better when looked at for secrets via the included Fahir’s Light torch.

THE CASE FOR BATMAN The ROG Phone 6 Batman Edition comes in a replica armament box, packed with more than just the phone itself. There are also exclusive accessories that include a USB-powered Bat Signal projector and a Batman Aero Case with a 3D-layered geometric Bat logo. Even the ejector pin gets the Bat treatment!

BAT’S THE WAY WE LIKE IT! The ROG Phone 6 Batman Edition has been made in collaboration with Warner Bros. and pays mighty tribute to Gotham City’s gadget-loving protector. The case has been given a slick Bat makeover, complete with an RGB Bat logo. The outer looks are coupled with a killer theme pack – press the power button and you’ll see a Batman-themed start-up animation, plus live wallpaper, charging animation, Bat sound effects, an incoming call animation, and more. Meanwhile, the legendary yellow Batman logo is your key to unlocking the phone with your fingerprint.
