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 powerful phone series, featuring the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform with Oryon CPU and Adreno GPU, offers various models to suit different budgets.

Prices range from approximately £949.99 for the ROG Phone 9 12/256 Black to £1299.99 for the high-end ROG Phone 9 Pro Edition 24G/1T. A range of accessories, including cooling cases and antibacterial screen protectors, are also available.

A key feature is the X Sense 3.0 AI, offering auto-item collection and upgrades (on higher-end models), AI noise cancellation, and automatic image capture. The ROG Phone 9 boasts impressive specs, but whether it's a worthwhile purchase depends on individual needs and budget. Check the official Asus website for full specifications.

With its powerful features and high price point, the ROG Phone 9 is likely to appeal to serious gamers with disposable income. However, for those less concerned with top-tier performance, it might be an unnecessary expense. Consider your gaming needs and budget before making a purchase.
