SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 30, 2024 – ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the ROG Phone 9 series, the next generation of its high-performance gaming smartphones built to provide console-like gaming experiences.
The new series features two models: ROG Phone 9 and ROG Phone 9 Pro.
“The ROG Phone series has consistently delivered innovative technology and performance enhancements to elevate the mobile gaming experience,” said Shawn Chang, ASUS Global Vice President and General Manager of the Smartphone Business Unit. “With the new ROG Phone 9 series, we’ve taken it to the next level. We’ve upgraded to the latest flagship Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, and introduced a redesigned GameCool 9 thermal system that ensures maximum sustained performance. We’ve also upgraded the iconic AeroActive Portal to further enhance cooling and deliver a desktop-grade gaming experience with the new AeroActive Cooler 9.”
Flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform
ROG Phone 9 series is powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, which is built on a 4nm process and features a Kryo CPU with a prime core clock speed of up to 3.3 GHz for 30%-better performance. The new Adreno GPU delivers a 50% performance uplift and 20% better power efficiency.
GameCool 9 Thermal System
The redesigned GameCool 9 thermal system in ROG Phone 9 series ensures maximum sustained performance during long gaming sessions. A 3D vapor chamber dissipates heat efficiently from critical components, and the thermal performance of the new boron nitride thermal compound on the CPU is further enhanced by the AeroActive Portal.
AeroActive Portal and AeroActive Cooler 9
The AeroActive Portal is a unique air intake system that opens automatically when the AeroActive Cooler 9 is attached. This allows cool air to be channeled directly to the internal thermal components, significantly improving heat dissipation.
The AeroActive Cooler 9 features a larger heatsink, a redesigned fan, and an improved Peltier element for even better cooling performance.
Immersive Gaming Display
ROG Phone 9 series features a 6.78-inch Samsung AMOLED display with a 165 Hz refresh rate and a 23 ms touch latency for ultra-smooth, responsive visuals. The display also supports a 720 Hz touch-sampling rate for ultra-responsive control.
