Asus has confirmed that its ROG Phone 9 gaming smartphone series will be unveiled on November 19th for the global market. Early leaks have already shown key details about the device.
K-Tai Watch Impress Japan recently shared a report confirming that the ROG Phone 9 will feature Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which is expected to deliver high-performance gaming capabilities. From what we’ve seen so far from the benchmarks of other smartphones using the Snapdragon 8 Elite, we can expect the device to come with a significant leap in performance compared to its predecessor. The device is also said to reduce its power consumption by up to 30% thanks to the new chip.
A hands-on video of the device has also leaked, revealing a more premium build, and hinting at improvements in materials and design over its predecessor. The overall design language will remain similar to the ROG Phone 8. Further details about design changes and additional features are still limited. Earlier, the ROG Phone 9 Pro was spotted on the China Quality Certification Centre (CQC) listing with 65W charging, which is the same as the existing ROG Phone 8 series. While we expect improved specifications, it is also a possibility that Asus could decades to focus on just the gaming part, improving things like the Air triggers and heat management. You can check out the specifications of its predecessor below.
