Asus introduced the ROG Phone 9 on Tuesday, showcasing its flagship design, which includes a unique secondary display on the back. The official launch is set for November 19. Thanks to 91mobiles, we’ve got a sneak peek at some key specifications of this smartphone before its release.
Key Specifications
According to the details from 91mobiles, the main improvement over the ROG Phone 8 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. The 6.78-inch AMOLED screen remains the same as its predecessor, featuring a variable refresh rate that can go up to 165 Hz. The resolution stands at 2,400 x 1,080 pixels, and it boasts an impressive HDR peak brightness of 2,500 nits. Similar to the earlier model, it includes a 32 MP front camera and a 50 MP f/1.9 rear camera with a 1/1.56 inch sensor, plus a 13 MP ultra-wide camera. However, the previous 32 MP telephoto camera has been replaced with a less effective 5 MP macro camera.
Battery and Charging
The battery sees a slight increase, now at 5,800 mAh, which is a 300 mAh boost from the previous version. It supports charging through USB-C at a maximum of 65 watts. It’s still unclear if wireless charging will be available, just like in the last model. Additionally, the phone is expected to feature a 3.5 mm headphone jack with a Hi-Fi DAC, allowing for music playback at 32-bit and 384 kHz quality. Asus will likely highlight AI features as part of its new offerings. This will include capabilities such as AI-assisted call translations, generating transcripts, creating background images, object recognition through the camera, and enhancing game resolution.
AI Features and Future Prospects
The smartphone is anticipated to be packed with advanced AI functionalities that could elevate the user experience significantly. As the launch date approaches, more details may emerge, shedding light on how these features will integrate into the everyday use of the device. Overall, the ROG Phone 9 looks to maintain the high standards set by its predecessor while adding some noteworthy improvements.
