Asus ROG 9 gaming phone launches pre-orders today with deliveries arriving throughout December

The Asus ROG Phone 9 series is now available for pre-order, with shipping anticipated in mid-to-late December – perfect for holiday gifting! This powerful phone series, featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform with Oryon CPU and Adreno GPU, offers various models to suit different budgets.

The top-of-the-line ROG Phone 9 Pro Edition (24GB/1TB) is priced at £1299.99, while the entry-level ROG Phone 9 (12GB/256GB) is approximately £949.99. A range of accessories, including cooling cases and antibacterial screen protectors, are also available.

A key feature is the inclusion of X Sense 3.0 AI, offering features like automatic item collection and upgrades (on higher-end models), AI noise cancellation, and automated image capture. The ROG Phone 9 boasts impressive specifications, but whether it's a worthwhile purchase depends on individual needs and budget. High-end specs may not be necessary for all users. For detailed specifications, visit the official Asus website.

Consider the ROG Phone 9 if you're looking for a high-performance mobile gaming device and have the budget. However, for those less concerned with top-tier specs or who don't require 120+ FPS gaming, it might not be a necessary upgrade. Don't forget to vote in the Pocket Gamer Awards 2024!
