The ROG Phone 9 series stands out with its futuristic design and advanced customization features.

The new series uses the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite processor in combination with the advanced GameCool 9 cooling system, ensuring maximum performance. Exclusive features like X Sense 3.0 and X Capture 2.0 use artificial intelligence to recognize key moments in games, automatically record wins and manage characters. The phone comes with 12/256 GB, 16/512 GB or 24 GB/1 TB memory, and the battery capacity is 5800 mAh in 65W charging. Relatively speaking, the weaker ROG Phone 9 will not only be offered with 24 GB of RAM and 1 TB of memory.

The controls on the ROG Phone 9 series provide the feeling of playing on a console. The AirTrigger system offers advanced gestures such as double-tap and gyroscope targeting. With additional equipment such as the AeroActive Cooler X Pro cooling system with physical buttons and the ROG Tessen controller, the phone can be transformed into a real portable gaming system.

There is also a 13 mpx wide-angle camera and a 32 mpx telephoto camera with 3x magnification. The front camera has a 32 mpx sensor.
