The Asus ROG Phone 9 series is now available for pre-order, with shipping expected in mid-to-late December – perfect for Christmas gifting! This powerful phone lineup features the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, boasting an Oryon CPU and Adreno GPU. Multiple versions cater to various budgets.
The top-of-the-line ROG Phone 9 Pro Edition (24GB/1TB) is priced at £1299.99, while the entry-level ROG Phone 9 (12GB/256GB Black) costs around £949.99. A range of accessories, from cooling cases to antibacterial screen protectors, are also available.

A key feature is the inclusion of X Sense 3.0 AI, offering auto-item collection and upgrades (on higher-end models). AI noise cancellation and automatic image capture further enhance the user experience.
The ROG Phone 9 packs a substantial array of features. However, whether this will be enough to convince skeptics remains to be seen. Check the official Asus website for full specifications.
With its impressive specs and AI capabilities, the ROG Phone 9 is sure to attract gamers with deep pockets. But for those on a tighter budget, or who don't require 120+ FPS gaming, it might be a tempting but ultimately unnecessary purchase.
