When ASUS asked if I\u2019d like to review the Diablo Immortal Edition of the ROG Phone 6, I of course said yes. I am a huge Diablo fan and I was curious to see what sorts of cool things ASUS came up with for the design of this phone. This is ASUS\u2019s second co-branded ROG Phone 6, having previously released a Batman version. And as this is a co-branded product, it features a unique Diablo Immortal-themed design inside and out.
\nWhat I mean by that is it features a unique graphic on the back with special detailing, and comes with some special Aura RGB lighting, as well as themed fingerprint scanner animations, wallpapers, and notification sounds. It even comes in themed packaging designed after game-related elements, and comes with matching themed accessories including a case, a leather rollup pouch for storing your charger (with a map of Sanctuary on the back), and Fahir\u2019s Light, which is really just a small flashlight for revealing invisible ink (more on that later, because it does come into play).
\nAll-in-all, it\u2019s a neat experience for anyone who\u2019s a fan of Diablo Immortal. Even if you don\u2019t like the mobile game and are a fan of the Diablo franchise in general, the phone still serves as a cool collector\u2019s piece. For the most part, this is the same as the regular ROG Phone 6. The specs haven\u2019t changed. So this review will focus mostly on the aspects unique to this Limited-Edition version of the phone.
\nThat said, here\u2019s what you\u2019re getting with the specs. The phone comes with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and it\u2019s powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. It also has the signature AirTrigger 6 ultrasonic shoulder buttons, as well as a 3.5mm port for wired headphones and two USB-C ports for charging. It comes running Android 12 and also features a 6.78-inch 165Hz display with a 720Hz touch sampling rate.
\nUnboxing the ROG Phone 6 Diablo Immortal Edition is like finding a high-stat legendary<\/p>\n

No matter how you feel about Diablo Immortal, which we\u2019ll be the first to admit has some notable flaws that we\u2019re not fond of, the unboxing experience of this phone is undoubtedly cool. First things first, when you get this device you the thing you\u2019ll notice before anything else is the giant square box it comes in. Obviously, this isn\u2019t a normal-sized phone box. And there\u2019s a reason for that.
\nOne is functionality. It serves the purpose of holding the extra stuff that comes with the phone. Secondly, it was designed after the Horadric Cube. An item within the Diablo universe that has great importance. And that all Diablo fans will be familiar with. It has the power to transform any item that you place inside of it.
\nInside this main larger carton, is the actual phone box which itself is shaped like the Worldstone. Another cool nod to the series and an item of immense power that pops up in every game. Even the \u2018Immortality\u2019 SIM ejector pin comes with a unique design, with a message that says \u201cImmortality Awaits\u201d on one side and the Diablo Immortal logo on the other. Unfortunately, the one from our review unit was lost during packing so we don\u2019t have that to show you. We did however include a screenshot of its design.
\nThe last item inside the box is a leather map of Sanctuary. Which is actually a roll-up pouch with pockets for storing your charger brick and USB-C cable. On the outside is the map of Sanctuary and on the inside is some embossed detailing of the Diablo Immortal and Republic of Gamers logos.
\nMatching accessories give additional nods to the game<\/p>\n

We already mentioned the map of Sanctuary pouch, but there\u2019s a little more to it. While it\u2019s mainly meant to store your charger brick and USB-C cable, it also servers another purpose. The map itself is of course, a neat detail. But there\u2019s also some hidden marks in invisible ink that can be revealed. To see these, you need the included Fahir\u2019s Light flashlight bundled with the phone.
\nUpon shining this light onto the map, what I like to think of as \u201cpoints of interest\u201d are marked in a glowing red ink. Pretty neat. But there\u2019s more. There\u2019s also a hidden link printed on the map that you can type into your browser. This takes you to a special promotion website where you can register your purchased Diablo Immortal Edition phone and grab some in-game rewards. You\u2019ll have until December 30 of 2023 to complete registration.
\nYou also need a serial number for this, so not just anyone can go and pick these rewards up. You do have to buy the phone. That being said, the rewards are, admittedly pretty weak. Once you claim your rewards, here\u2019s what shows up in-game: An Adventurer\u2019s Pack, 6 Aspirant\u2019s Keys, 100 Culling Stones, 4 Reforge Stones, and 3 Gem Power. Unfortunately, the phone does not come with the game\u2019s most valuable resources. Which are Eternal Orbs and Legendary Crests. All that said, you\u2019re not buying this phone for the included rewards. You\u2019re buying it because of the design.
\nIn addition to the map, there\u2019s also an exclusive \u2018Shield Blessing\u2019 Aero case with Diablo Immortal detailing. On the inside of the case there\u2019s a design of Diablo. While on the outside is a design of the teleport. This will illuminate red when you shin Fahir\u2019s Light on it thanks to the same invisible ink used on the map. Overall, the accessories are some really cool touches to a co-branded product.
\nFans will appreciate the hellish new design<\/p>\n

Everything about the phone\u2019s new design screams Diablo. More pronounced in some ways and more subtly in others. To start, the phones in a \u2018Hellfire Red\u2019 matte finish. The power button also has red chamfered edges, and the SIM tray is naturally, red as well. On the back is yet another depiction of Diablo, alongside RGB-lit Diablo Immortal and ROG logos, and RGB-lit \u201cDiablo Immortal\u201d branding in the place of the \u201cDare To Play\u201d message on the original model.
\nThe RGB lighting here features a special flame effect when active. While I can appreciate this, it would have been much cooler if Diablo himself lit up. Lastly, there\u2019s some special detailing on the camera array along with the same \u201cImmortality Awaits\u201d message found on the SIM ejector pin.
\nThat\u2019s it for the special design on the outside of the phone. But you\u2019ll find plenty more to delight your love for Diablo Immortal in the software. Everything from the notification and system sounds to the charging indicator is Diablo-themed. You can even change the unlock animation and fingerprint indicator styles. My only complaint here is that the indicator styles feature a singular design based on the game\u2019s classes \u2013 the barbarian. And it would have been nice to see one indicator for each of the game\u2019s initial classes.
\nStill, these are all neat touches to the overall design that you\u2019ll love either way if you love Diablo Immortal.
\nPricing and availability
\nWe know the phone will cost $1,299, unfortunately, ASUS hasn\u2019t yet confirmed when the phone will be available for purchase. Also worth noting is that for $1,299, you could get the ROG Phone 6 Pro instead which is a more powerful phone. Then again, not by a whole lot, and if you really love Diablo, this model is definitely the one to go for.
\nThe cool phone designs, the Diablo theme in the software, the matching accessories. The ROG Phone 6 Diablo Immortal Edition is a cool experience that ASUS and Blizzard put together.
