The highly anticipated Asus ROG Phone 9 series is now available for pre-order! Shipping is slated for mid-to-late December, making it a potential Christmas gift. But with its powerful specs and price tag, is it a worthwhile purchase?
This latest release boasts impressive hardware. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, featuring an Oryon CPU and Adreno GPU, the ROG Phone 9 comes in various configurations 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, from cooling cases to antibacterial screen protectors, are also available.
Impressive Power, But Is It Necessary?
A key feature is the inclusion of X Sense 3.0 AI, offering auto-item collection and upgrades (on higher-end models). AI noise cancellation and automatic image capture further enhance the user experience.
The ROG Phone 9 is packed with features, but will this be enough to convince potential buyers? Check the official Asus website for complete specifications.
Ultimately, the phone's high-end specs and price point may appeal to serious gamers with ample funds. However, for casual users, it might be an unnecessary extravagance.
