The ASUS ROG Phone 9 is about to be released, and mobile gaming fans are excited. The official presentation is scheduled for November 19, 2024, at the Snapdragon Summit organized by Qualcomm. This event will not only be an important date for ASUS fans, but also an unmissable date in the calendar of mobile gamers.
The ROG Phone 9 promises to be a game-changer for mobile gamers, with new features designed to take the gaming experience to the next level. From performance-focused improvements to a display that could set a new standard in the smartphone world, this device is highly anticipated in the sector.
Powerful hardware with the new Snapdragon 8 Elite
One of the highlights of the ROG Phone 9 will be its processor. ASUS has decided to equip this device with the latest from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This chip has been specifically designed to deliver unprecedented performance in mobile, optimizing both general processing and artificial intelligence functions. The internal organization of this chipset is based on an eight-core architecture, with two Prime cores reaching up to 4,32 GHz and six efficiency-oriented cores.
Accompanying the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the ROG Phone 9 will offer a configuration of up to 24 GB of RAM, which is a very high figure for a smartphone, more commonly seen in high-end gaming computers. As for storage, you can choose versions with up to 1 TB capacity in UFS 4.0 format, which ensures ultra-fast read and write speeds.
A screen that makes the difference
Visuals are paramount on a gaming-oriented device, and ASUS hasn't skimped on specs. ROG Phone 9 will have a screen 6,78 inch LTPO AMOLED, ideal for enjoying the most demanding games. The resolution will be FHD +, which not only ensures great image quality but also an excellent response rate.
One of the most impressive new features of this screen is its Adaptive refresh rate up to 185Hz, a number that exceeds most current terminals, including its predecessors. This refresh rate is especially useful during the most frenetic games, where every millisecond counts. In addition, its maximum brightness will be able to exceed 2.500 nits, which ensures excellent visibility even in direct light conditions.
The panel will have protection Gorilla Glass Foods, the benchmark for drop and scratch resistance. While the display is primarily intended for intensive gaming use, it is also expected to offer an unrivalled visual experience for multimedia playback or everyday browsing.
Improved camera and other notable features
Although cameras are not usually a priority in gaming mobiles, ASUS has decided to take a step forward. In the ROG Phone 9 we will find a fairly complete photographic system. The main camera will be composed of a Sony Lytia 50MP sensor, accompanied by an ultra wide angle of 13 SM and a macro sensor 5 SM. For selfie lovers, the front camera will reach the 32 SM, ideal for video calls or live broadcasts.
Another feature that will be key to ensuring long gaming sessions is the battery, which will have a capacity of 5.800 mAh. In addition, as is usual in the models of this series, we will have support for 65W fast charge, which will allow the device to be recharged in just a few minutes.
Advanced features, Wi-Fi 7 and more
Not only the hardware and the screen stand out in this device, but also everything related to connectivity and sound. The ROG Phone 9 will be one of the first smartphones to feature Wi-Fi 7, which ensures a more stable and faster signal, which is crucial for online gaming. This will be added to compatibility with Bluetooth 5.4 and an enhanced audio system with triple microphones and high-resolution stereo speakers compatible with 384 kHz/32 bits and technologies like Dirac Virtuo and Spatial Sound.
Another aspect that has not been left aside is the IP68 certified water and dust resistance, making the device even more robust for outdoor use. To ensure stable performance even during long gaming sessions, the device will feature a novel cooling system, which has been described as “the best heat sink ever seen in a mobile phone”.
With all these features, there is no doubt that the ASUS ROG Phone 9 will raise the bar in terms of performance and design in the gaming smartphone space. We will find out all the details on November 19 during its official presentation, which promises to be one of the most important events of the year for mobile technology.
