ASUS has launched the new Asus ROG Phone 9 and 9 Pro, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X 9,600Mbps RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage in the base model. The Pro model comes with up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
According to Asus, the 8 Elite has a 45% CPU performance advantage, a 40% faster GPU performance advantage, and a 40% faster NPU performance advantage, compared to the previous ROG Phone’s 8 Gen 3.
Game Features
Last year, the Asus ROG Phone 8 took a big step forward by becoming more practical for everyday use with an IP68 rating and a telephoto camera. The new model increases performance in all aspects, growing over the previous one.
The ROG Phone 9 and 9 Pro have 6.78” AMOLED displays with FHD+ resolution, 1,600 nits brightness in high brightness mode (2,500 nits peak), and 107% DCI-P3 coverage. This year’s main upgrade is the Game Genie-enabled 185Hz refresh rate, supported in select games.
Improved Cooling
Cooling performance has been improved with larger fan blades (+12.5%) and more thermal compound, resulting in a 29% improvement in cooling. Furthermore, both models have a 57% larger graphite sheet.
To top it off, the AeroActive Cooler X Pro has a subwoofer, providing 2.1 sound, and two shoulder buttons to complement the AirTriggers on the phone itself.
Cameras
Both models use a 50MP main camera with a 1/1.56” Sony Lytia 700 sensor. 6-axis gimbal hybrid stabilization has been improved, correcting +/-5°. The 13MP ultra-wide camera and 32MP selfie camera remain unchanged.
The telephoto module on the Pro uses the same 32MP 3x module as last year’s version, while the base model has a 5MP macro camera.
Features
Both models feature AniMe Vision, a grid of customizable mini-LEDs. The ROG Phone 9 has 85 LEDs, while the ROG Phone 9 Pro has 648 LEDs. AniMe Vision on Pro has enough resolution to render Chinese and Japanese text, as well as supporting animated GIFs.
With 5,800mAh batteries, the new models offer at least 4.5 hours of heavy gaming. The battery maintains 80% of its original capacity after 1,000 charging cycles. Charging is rated at 65W via USB-C and 15W wirelessly and takes 46 minutes.
Asus will provide two operating system updates and security updates for five years, one year longer compared to the ROG Phone 8.
ROG Phone 9 and 9 Pro feature a 3.5mm headphone jack, tuned by Dirac, and support Dirac Virtuo high-resolution binaural audio technology. Wireless options include aptX Lossless and Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification.
The two models can be pre-ordered starting today, but there is still no forecast of when shipments will be made to Brazil. The cell phones debuted in China and Taiwan and will arrive in other regions, such as the United States, starting in January.
