ROG Phone 9 Pre-Orders Begin with December Delivery

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 powerhouse phone boasts impressive specs, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, featuring an Oryon CPU and Adreno GPU. Multiple versions cater to various budgets.

The high-end ROG Phone 9 Pro Edition (24GB/1TB) is priced at £1299.99, while the more affordable ROG Phone 9 (12GB/256GB Black) comes in at approximately £949.99. A range of accessories, from cooling cases to antimicrobial 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 certainly packs a punch in terms of features. However, whether this will sway skeptics remains to be seen. Detailed specifications can be found on the official Asus website.

With its high-end specs and AI capabilities, the ROG Phone 9 is sure to entice gamers with ample funds. But for those on a tighter budget or with less demanding gaming needs, this might be a tempting but ultimately unnecessary purchase.
