Authore: EllieUpdate:Jan 24,2025

The Asus ROG Phone 9 series is now available for pre-order, with shipping anticipated in mid-to-late December – perfect for holiday gifting! This powerful smartphone lineup, featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform with Oryon CPU and Adreno GPU, offers various models to suit different budgets.

The high-end ROG Phone 9 Pro Edition (24GB/1TB) is priced at £1299.99, while the more affordable ROG Phone 9 (12GB/256GB) starts at approximately £949.99. A range of accessories, from cooling cases to antimicrobial screen protectors, are also available.

Impressive Specs, But Is It Worth the Hype?

A key feature is the inclusion of X Sense 3.0 AI, offering auto-item collection and upgrades (on higher-end models), along with AI noise cancellation and automatic image capture. The ROG Phone 9 boasts impressive specifications, but whether it justifies the price tag for the average consumer remains to be seen. Check the official Asus website for complete details.

With its high-end specs and AI features, the ROG Phone 9 will undoubtedly appeal to serious gamers and tech enthusiasts with ample disposable income. However, for those less concerned with achieving 120+ FPS in mobile games, it might be a luxury they can comfortably forgo.
