• The first leak about the ROG Phone 9 suggests that it will feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip, an upgraded display, and a 24GB/1TB variant.
• The phone’s 3C certification suggests it may support 65W wired charging, similar to its predecessor.
• The ROG Phone 9 is expected to launch in China before the end of 2024.

The ASUS ROG Phone series made a splash this year with the ROG Phone 8, shedding its “gaming-only” image and embracing a more balanced approach to deliver a flagship experience that’s both fun and functional. And now whispers of its successor, the ROG Phone 9, have started circulating online.

A recent Weibo post by the often-reliable leaker Smart Pikachu has seemingly lifted the veil on some of the ROG Phone 9’s key specifications. Unsurprisingly, the device is tipped to be powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, the expected powerhouse for many Android flagships in 2025. (via Playful Droid)
