Authore: DavidUpdate:Jan 22,2025

The Asus ROG Phone 9 series is now available for pre-order, with shipping expected in mid-to-late December – perfect for Christmas gifting! This powerhouse phone boasts impressive specs, but is it a worthwhile purchase for everyone?

If you're searching for a high-end Christmas gift, or need to impress a discerning tech enthusiast, the Asus ROG Phone 9 series might be just what you're looking for. Pre-orders are open now!

Arriving in time for the holidays (hopefully!), the ROG Phone 9 packs a punch with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, featuring an Oryon CPU and Adreno GPU. Various models cater to different budgets.

The top-of-the-line ROG Phone 9 Pro Edition (24GB/1TB) will cost you £1299.99, while the entry-level ROG Phone 9 (12GB/256GB Black) is priced at approximately £949.99. A range of accessories, from cooling cases to antibacterial screen protectors, are also available.

Serious power in a sleek package

A key feature is the inclusion of X Sense 3.0 AI, which offers auto-collection and item upgrades on higher-end models. AI noise cancellation and automatic image capture further enhance the user experience.

The ROG Phone 9 certainly packs a lot of features. But will this be enough to win over skeptics? Visit the official Asus website for detailed specifications.

Ultimately, the phone boasts impressive specs and the ever-popular AI branding. If you have the budget and a gamer on your list, you're likely already interested. However, for those on a tighter budget or with less demanding gaming needs, this might be a luxury they can pass on.
