ASUS has officially announced that the ROG Phone 9 will debut on November 19. The upcoming lineup is expected to follow last year’s multi-device launch pattern with the ROG Phone 9 and possibly a Pro variant. While last year’s ROG Phone 8 didn’t leave much room for upgrades, recent leaks suggest ASUS may have found a few ways to raise the stakes.
First reported by 91mobiles, tipster Digital Chat Station recently shared some specs for the ROG Phone 9 on Weibo. As per the post, the ROG Phone 9 will feature an unprecedented 185Hz refresh rate display. While it’s certainly impressive from a technical standpoint, one has to wonder how many mobile games can actually take advantage of such ludicrous specs.
