The ROG Phone 9 Pro remains ASUS’s most recent gaming flagship, and with no 2026 successor it is the newest ROG phone that actually exists. It runs a Snapdragon 8 Elite with up to 24GB of LPDDR5X and 1TB of UFS 4.0 behind a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED that reaches 165Hz in settings and 185Hz inside Game Genie, plus 2500 nits peak brightness. ASUS keeps the enthusiast hardware intact: ultrasonic AirTrigger buttons, a 5800mAh battery with 65W charging and 15W Qi 1.3 wireless, IP68 sealing and an AniMe Vision dot-matrix rear panel. It launched at roughly $1,199 in the United States.
