Update from Asus CM here, Indonesia won't be receiving the 6D variant, but with 6D not having Dual Active is not a big disappointment either.

Really? Do you think they gonna shadow released it? If not, then i guess i'll keep using my rog 3. The only problem with my rog is memory running low.
Last rog release is making us buy 12/256W,hich is a lot expensive than current rog 6 (8/256).
So I'm consider an upgrade.

You're talking about storage memory I guess because no current phone actually has more than 8gb of memory for apps, android core kills apps in the background even though there's 4gb left, 8+ free, the best optimizations I've seen so far don't really use 16 and 18 GB, beyond 12 GB it's marketing

Last two rog (3/5) makes us buy ram 12 for the 256gb variant.
Which much more expensive (about idr 13mil = approx 870$
While rog six
With 8/256 is more affordable (11mil = approx 735$)
I dont need 12gb ram, thats why im considering buying rog 6, but since 6d isnt available in my country, i'll just wait for next rog/other phone

I generally don't like GSMArena's reviews as they tend to have a bias and many times simply arent correct. Take the Rog3 for instance, you'd think they would mention the heavy color banding, but no, they just call it a, and i quote "Glorious display".

To illustrate their bias on towards qualcomm, they flatout mention that the battery life is supposdely better on the regular Rog6.

So if you are after the ROG Phone 6 with the best possible battery life, you should go for a Snapdragon model.

But, if you look at the battery stats, it goes against what they say:

As can be seen here, the difference between "surfing the web" and call is negligible, however once media consumption is thrown into the mix, the 6D pulls way ahead. What they also completely fail to mention is that the dimensity is far better handling loads than qualcom is, which has been noted by the reivewer tech spurt who noticed a huge difference in battery life when gaming, which does seem in line with this test as well.

When it comes to camera portion, they again are full on going against what we can see. the 6D makes notably more natural, accurate and cleaner pictures and when processing gets more demanding the 6D is on another level.

This is the Rog6D, the green is your typical processed weird green, but also extremely noisy and blurry due to very poor noise reduction algorithm. Lets see how that looks on the Rog6D.

Much cleaner, colors actually represent more true to life green, noise redution works very well while retaining detail. Overall much cleaner and better shot. Lets take a harder example to show the massive difference:

gsmarena-041.jpg

As you can see here, this shot is very difficult, having a very bright background while you are in the dark, showcases the cameras ability to process HDR, and here the Rog6 Snapdragon did not do a very good job. It completely overexposed the shadows, the person looks very flat and unnatural, his face got a filter on it, which makes his face not only look weird but very smudgy as well, meanwhile on the 6D:

gsmarena-049.jpg

It exposed the image perfecly, it looks real, detail in his face remained as well. This portrait is worlds ahead of the snapdragon version, and this makes sense, because roughly 3x more processing power on the ISP, ofc the result will be better.

So take a closer look at the review and then maybe you will realize that the review actually does tell you that the snapdragn is better but shows you that the 6D is infact better.

Do you think waterproof/dustproof (ipx4 on this phone ) have to do something with phone overheating?
