Following Asus‘ official announcement of the ROG Phone 9’s launch date on November 19th, a leak from 91mobiles suggests the phone may offer a more modest upgrade compared to its predecessor.
While the phone will feature the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the report suggests that other key aspects remain largely the same.
Asus ROG Phone 9 Specifications
According to the leak, the ROG Phone 9 keeps the same 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate and FHD+ (2400 x 1080) resolution.
Camera specs appear similar as well, with a 32MP selfie camera and a triple rear setup featuring a 50MP main sensor, a 13MP ultrawide lens, and a 5MP macro lens, replacing the ROG Phone 8’s 32MP telephoto lens.
The leak also suggests a minor upgrade in battery capacity from 5,500mAh to 5,800mAh. Charging will be handled via a 65W adapter.
However, it remains unclear if wireless charging will be included, although it’s expected since last year’s ROG Phone 8 offered this feature. The phone is still likely to include a 3.5mm headphone jack with a Hi-Fi DAC for high-fidelity audio.
Unsurprisingly, Asus will also embrace AI in the ROG Phone 9 series. The phone reportedly utilizes AI for call translation and transcription, background image generation, object recognition via the camera, and even game upscaling to higher resolutions.
Beyond the specifications, 91mobiles has shared renders showing the phone in Storm White and Phantom Black. Although a hands-on video of the design has leaked, these renders give us a much better view of the phone’s look.
As you can see, the phone’s design language remains similar to its predecessor, featuring a secondary display on the back. It reportedly measures 163.8×76.8×8.9 mm, keeping it close in size to the previous model, with a weight of 227 grams.
