Editorial report

Asus ROG Phone 9 technical sheet

The Asus ROG Phone 9 suits buyers looking for a gaming phone who put performance and a high-refresh-rate display first. Its main trade-off is weight: at 227 g, it is heavier than most phones of its time, something to consider if it will be carried throughout the day.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite and its AnTuTu result of 3,007,932 are among the best of its time. The 6.78″ LTPO AMOLED display pairs a 185 Hz refresh rate, among the best, with 2500 nits peak brightness, better than most. This version has 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage; the phone is sold from 12 GB / 256 GB up to 16 GB / 512 GB.

Its 5800 mAh battery supports 65 W wired and 15 W wireless charging, both better than those of most phones of its time. Connectivity is also among the best, with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. Overall, its cameras are better than most, but the f/1.9 aperture is less bright than that of most phones, and it has no optical zoom. The Asus ROG Phone 9 earns a NeoScore of 8.2: a well-rounded gaming choice for buyers willing to accept its weight.
