Asus is set to release the ROG Phone 9 globally on November 19, 2024. The ROG Phone 9, already featured on Geekbench ML, showcases the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 24GB RAM. Thanks to its appearance on the Wireless Power Consortium website, more details have now surfaced. Here’s a closer look at what the Asus ROG Phone 9 has in store for gaming enthusiasts.
Certified for Wireless Power
The listing on the Wireless Power Consortium’s database, showing the code number “AI2501,” highlights that the ROG Phone 9 has passed necessary safety standards, bringing it one step closer to launch.
According to the listing, the maximum load power is “15.0”, which suggests support for 15W wireless charging. Given that its predecessor, the ROG Phone 8, featured a 5,500mAh battery with 65W wired charging, we can expect similar specifications or minor enhancements.
Specifications to expect: design, display, camera, and performance
According to previous rumors, it receives a slight design refresh: Asus has replaced the RGB ROG logo with a light-up ROG text logo, setting the ROG Phone 9 apart visually from previous models. This device has also recently received SDPPI and TKDN certifications in Indonesia, which signals an imminent release in that region as well.
The ROG Phone 9 is expected to feature a 6.78-inch Samsung LTPO AMOLED display, capable of FHD+ resolution. Known for a high refresh rate, the display can adapt from 1 Hz to 120 Hz and reach up to 185 Hz in Game Genie mode for enhanced gaming. Additionally, it could hit a peak brightness of 2,500 nits, offering excellent visibility even in bright environments.
Camera-wise, the ROG Phone 9 will likely carry a 50 MP Sony Lyt-700 main sensor, a 13 MP ultra-wide camera, and a 5 MP macro lens. For enhanced visuals, the Pro version is rumored to replace the macro lens with a 32 MP telephoto sensor. The front camera is set to feature a 32 MP sensor, suitable for high-quality selfies and video calls.
For durability, the phone’s screen is expected to come with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection, ensuring higher resilience against scratches and impacts. While the waterproof certification hasn’t been confirmed, the ROG Phone 8’s IP68 rating suggests that the ROG Phone 9 may follow suit.
Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, the ROG Phone 9 promises significant efficiency and performance gains over the previous Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. With an all-big-cores design, the Snapdragon 8 Elite offers a whopping 45% higher i=single and multi-core performance, paired with 30% higher GPU performance.
