We’ve been following an interesting path for some time when it comes to the ROG Phone 6D. Here’s a short list – we already know that the 6D Ultimate will be revealed on September 19th. We also know from the same official sources as well as AnTuTu and another recent leak that it will be basically the same as the ROG Phone 6 Pro, but with a chipset swap to the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+. That and an improved cooling system teased in a cryptic video from Asus.
Now TENAA brings back a set of photos confirming the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate’s design and we think we’ve solved at least part of the mystery.

According to another leak, we know that a vanilla ROG Phone 6D might also exist. His renders show a phone similar to the current ROG Phone 6 Pro, ROG Phone 6D Ultimate renders and now TENNA photos also have a very similar back design, but not the same. The small “DARE TO PLAY” RGB logo on the back is missing from the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate and is present on every model. Taking a closer look at the latest Asus cooling teaser video, we noticed that the module shown in that clip is actually only found on the RGB logo mentioned on the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate.

We believe the module is a motorized air duct intended to facilitate additional cooling on the 6D Ultimate. As explained in the video, the module is intended to open and close and may suggest a few things. It could mean that Asus has designed a new AeroActive cooler for the 6D Ultimate to work in conjunction with the air duct. Or maybe the existing AeroActive 6 cooler already does exactly that. What might be more daring is the inclusion of an internal fan on the 6D Ultimate. All of that is just guess work on our end.
