The ROG Phone 9 offers a minor design refresh over the Phone 8 but largely plays it safe.

While the design remains attractive, it would have been nice to see more significant distinctions with the Phone 9 .

The new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile CPU is a major improvement over the previous Phone 8’s processor.

The display looks outstanding, regardless of whether you’re watching media or gaming.

The ROG Phone 9 features a 50MP lens with a Sony LYT-700 sensor, replacing the Phone 8’s Sony IMX890 sensor.

The new sensor excels in low-light and night photography, leveraging available light to produce high-quality images.

Like its predecessor, the Phone 9 boasts impressive stereo speakers.
