Asus ROG 9 gaming phone launches pre-orders today with deliveries arriving throughout December

The highly anticipated Asus ROG Phone 9 series is now available for pre-order! Shipping is slated for mid-to-late December, making it a potential Christmas gift. But is this powerhouse phone a worthwhile purchase, or just another expensive gadget?

This Christmas, consider the Asus ROG Phone 9 series. Pre-orders are open now for this impressive device, promising delivery in time for the holidays.

The ROG Phone 9 packs a punch with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, featuring an Oryon CPU and Adreno GPU. Multiple versions cater to various budgets, ranging from the top-tier ROG Phone 9 Pro Edition (24GB/1TB) at £1299.99 to the more affordable ROG Phone 9 (12GB/256GB Black) at approximately £949.99. A range of accessories, from cooling cases to antimicrobial screen protectors, are also available.

A key feature is the inclusion of X Sense 3.0 AI, offering automatic item collection and upgrades (on higher-end models), along with AI noise cancellation and automated image capture. The ROG Phone 9 boasts an impressive array of features.

However, will these features be enough to convince potential buyers? Visit the official Asus website for complete specifications. The phone's high-end specs and AI capabilities might appeal to serious gamers and tech enthusiasts with ample funds. But for those on a tighter budget or with less demanding gaming needs, it might be an unnecessary splurge.
