New Delhi: In an exciting development for gaming phone enthusiasts, Asus has confirmed the launch of its highly-anticipated ROG Phone 9 series on November 19. Even before its debut, the new lineup promises groundbreaking performance, fueled by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite processor. Now, fresh leaks reveal that Asus may be about to set a new benchmark in mobile gaming with a stunning refresh rate on the ROG Phone 9 Pro.
Leaked Specs Hint at 185Hz Refresh Rate, A New High in Smartphone Displays
Renowned tipster Digital Chat Station shared on Weibo that the ROG Phone 9 Pro will feature a jaw-dropping 185Hz LTPO display, making it the first smartphone to offer such high refresh rates. For perspective, last year’s ROG Phone 8 Pro boasted a 165Hz display, while the iQOO 13 recently launched with a 144Hz panel. This leap in display technology could redefine smoothness in mobile gaming and app interactions, putting Asus in a league of its own.
Enhanced Durability with Potential IP68 and IP69 Ratings
Asus is reportedly equipping the ROG Phone 9 series with an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, a feature gamers will appreciate for added device durability. While it’s unclear if the ROG Phone 9 will also secure an IP69 rating—like recent models from OnePlus and iQOO—Asus seems intent on providing robust protection against the elements.
Expected Top-Tier Specs for the ROG Phone 9 Series
The ROG Phone 9 is likely to come with a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display, offering an impressive peak brightness of 2,500 nits and protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. With Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite chipset, up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, this phone promises ultra-fast performance that can handle the most demanding games and multitasking needs effortlessly.
Photography fans won’t be disappointed either. The ROG Phone 9 is expected to feature a triple-camera setup, led by a 50MP Sony LYTIA 700 primary sensor, complemented by a 50MP macro lens and a 13MP ultra-wide shooter. A 32MP front-facing camera will cater to selfies and video calls with clarity.
Battery Power and Smart AI Features for an Unmatched Experience
Asus is expected to include a robust 5,800mAh battery in the ROG Phone 9, with support for 65W fast charging to keep gamers powered up with minimal downtime. With rumored AI-driven features, this phone aims to optimize user experience, offering smart, adaptable performance for both gaming and everyday tasks.
With this promising feature set, the ROG Phone 9 series looks poised to set new standards in mobile gaming and high-performance smartphones. All eyes are on Asus as they unveil the future of gaming phones this November.
