Asus is set to introduce its ROG Phone 9 series a bit late to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Android smartphone launch, which is scheduled for November 19, 2024. Nevertheless, at least one of the new models is expected to be worth the wait, according to trusted leaker Digital Chat Station.
Exciting Display Features
The insider revealed some exciting news during a recent press event: Asus plans to set new records for display refresh rates in mobile devices by launching the latest ROG Phones equipped with a groundbreaking 185Hz LTPO display. This would mark a significant leap forward for the smartphone market, especially considering that the ROG Phone 8 Pro, available on Amazon, already boasts a 165Hz display.
Potential Specifications
It is believed that the impressive new refresh rate may be exclusive to the 9 Pro model, although even the standard 9 version could benefit from Asus' innovative "SoC center design," which has been touted as an effective way to keep the Snapdragon 8 Elite cool.
Durability and Features
The upcoming "185Hz" ROG Phone is also expected to come with IP68 ratings for dust and water resistance, along with AniMe Vision, a miniLED display on the back that's packed with features. This new information from Digital Chat Station was shared via Weibo.
