ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces the ROG Phone 9 Series

Fremont, CA, November 19, 2024 - ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the new ROG Phone 9 series of stylish and powerful gaming phones, developed to offer the best possible gaming experience in a premium phone design.

At launch the ROG Phone 9 series comprises the ROG Phone 9 and ROG Phone 9 Pro models, both boasting a sleek high-end design featuring the innovative AniMe Vision mini-LED auxiliary display, which gives the phones stand-out looks and personalization capabilities.

Both models offer an unrivaled gaming experience thanks to a suite of ROG-developed AI-driven gaming features. These features are amply powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile Platform, combined with the advanced ROG GameCool 9 cooling system to unlock maximum performance at all times.

Console-like game controls have always been a killer feature of the ROG Phone's design philosophy, and the ROG Phone 9 series continues that legacy, with its exclusive AirTrigger touch system and an extensive ecosystem of ROG gaming accessories.

The ROG Phone 9 series transcends being just a gaming phone - it's a lifestyle statement for true gamers.

Styled for gamers

The ROG Phone 9 series has a sleek design that exudes a futuristic and sophisticated vibe, using matte finishes crafted with a crystalized nano-texture for a silk-like feel and optimum resistance to fingerprints.

The AniMe Vision auxiliary display is a unique feature of both models. On the ROG Phone 9 Pro¹, it features 648 programmable mini-LEDs for an array of exclusive animations that react to phone interactions, and the newly-added red mini LEDs enhance the gamer vibe even further. It can also be customized to add your personal touch into the visual experience. AniMe Vision is totally invisible when inactive, so gamers can switch between an understated look and a gaming aesthetic at will.

AniMe Vision also allows gamers to dive into the ROG Phone 9 Pro's exclusive AniMe Play², where the charm of classic pixel games is brought to life for the modern era. With AniMe Vision, gamers can step into gaming adventures steeped in tradition, effortlessly mastering them through touch with the ROG AirTrigger system.

Incredible AI gaming power

Boasting an advanced suite of ROG-developed AI-driven gaming features, the ROG Phone 9 series delivers an unparalleled gaming experience.

• X Sense 3.0 leverages AI image recognition to streamline gaming tasks, such as detecting key events and auto-collecting items. Our latest 3.0 version even auto-upgrades character skills, enabling gamers to unleash their ultimate abilities with ease.
• X Capture 2.0 employs AI image-recognition to detect key events and automatically records moments of victory, team fights, and when the user draws character cards in the game.
• AI Grabber 2.0 utilizes AI for text recognition, making it incredibly easy to search for tips, and now it even supports a translation feature, ensuring smoother communication.
• AI Noise Cancelation uses machine learning to identify different noise frequencies, making it easy for gamers to eliminate unwanted sounds for clear communication during gameplay.

Advanced performance

Gamers can experience gaming supremacy with the ROG Phone 9 series of trailblazing gaming phones, powered by the 3-nanometer Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform. 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 9 delivers with its 360° SoC Cooling System Gen 3 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.

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.

Additionally, the AeroActive Cooler X Pro adds two extra physical buttons, for an enhanced, console-like level of control.

For the ultimate experience, gamers can insert the ROG Tessen mobile controller, which instantly transforms the ROG Phone 9 series into a professional-level portable gaming console, delivering exceptional comfort for extended play.
