Advanced performance

Gamers can experience gaming supremacy with the ROG Phone 9 Pro of trailblazing gaming phones, powered by the 3-nanometer Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform while the ROG Phone 9 FE equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, engineered for peak gaming performance. Performance soars to stratospheric heights, with Qualcomm Seamless syncing effortlessly to Snapdragon X Elite-powered PCs, and each processor — including the powerful Oryon CPU, the Adreno GPU, and the AI-dedicated Hexagon NPU — features significant enhancements to ensure that even demanding titles with the highest graphic settings offer an ultrasmooth and lag-free experience.

A superior SoC demands an equally superior thermal system to unlock its full potential. ROG GameCool technology delivers with its 360° SoC Cooling System design, using a variety of high-performance thermal materials. This system is engineered with a unique SoC-centered structure and complemented by the latest AeroActive Cooler X Pro clip-on cooler, ensuring that heat dissipation never impedes the path to victory. But for those looking for a more passive approach in terms of cooling, then the ROG Chill Case is the perfect accessory. Offering thermal performance almost as good as copper, using the new Composite Vapor Chamber (CVC) material, but with zero impact on 5G and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Great gaming and video-streaming experiences demand a great audiovisual system, so the ROG Phone 9 series is equipped with a cutting-edge 6.78-inch E6 AMOLED 185Hz display, featuring power-saving adaptive refresh rates, along with a powerful audio system. Additionally, when genuine ROG Phone 9 series cases are used, the Audio Redirect feature delivers immersive front-facing sound. And for added realism, there’s also a subwoofer integrated in the AeroActive Cooler X Pro.

With the ROG Phone 9 series’ advanced triple-camera system, gamers and creators can unlock limitless photographic possibilities. Enhanced by OZO Audio technology, users can enjoy wind-noise reduction for crisp, outdoor recordings or capture immersive, high-fidelity 3D surround sound for spatial audio.

Plays like a console

For unparalleled command over games, the ROG Phone 9 series features the acclaimed AirTrigger controls, which put an intuitive gaming experience right at the gamer’s fingertips. These innovative touch controls are versatile, responding to an array of gestures such as Dual Action, Press and Lift, and Gyroscope Aiming — it’s the ultimate level of mastery.
