The ASUS ROG Phone 9 Series Arrives in the Philippines!

The ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has officially launched the highly anticipated ROG Phone 9 series in the Philippines. Bringing top-tier gaming features, AI-powered enhancements, and a bold new design, the ASUS ROG Phone 9 FE and ROG Phone 9 Pro aim to redefine mobile gaming. Best of all, early buyers can snag the ROG Phone 9 FE at an exclusive PHP 39,995 price, bundled with premium accessories.

Sleek and Futuristic Design

The ASUS ROG Phone 9 series continues ROG’s tradition of high-end aesthetics with a refined matte finish and a crystallized nano-texture, offering a sleek, fingerprint-resistant surface. A major highlight is the AniMe Vision mini-LED auxiliary display, available on both models.

On the ROG Phone 9 Pro, this display features 648 programmable mini-LEDs, allowing users to showcase exclusive animations that respond to phone interactions. When inactive, AniMe Vision blends seamlessly into the phone’s design, letting users switch between a minimalist and a bold gaming look. The feature also introduces AniMe Play, a fun addition that revives the charm of classic pixel-based games with modern touch controls.

Next-Level AI Gaming Features

ROG has introduced an advanced suite of AI-driven tools that take gaming to the next level:

X Sense 3.0: Uses AI image recognition to detect key in-game events, auto-collect items, and even upgrade character skills automatically.
X Capture 2.0: Recognizes significant gaming moments—like victories, team fights, and card draws—and captures them automatically.
AI Grabber 2.0: Enhances text recognition, making it easier to search for tips and even translate in-game text instantly.
AI Noise Cancellation: Uses machine learning to remove background noise, ensuring crystal-clear voice communication during gaming sessions.

Extreme Performance and Cooling

Powering the ASUS ROG Phone 9 series are Qualcomm’s most advanced processors:

ROG Phone 9 Pro: Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform
ROG Phone 9 FE: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform

Both models deliver top-tier gaming performance, capable of handling the most graphically demanding titles with ease. To keep thermals in check, ROG GameCool technology utilizes a 360° SoC Cooling System, an innovative SoC-centered structure, and the AeroActive Cooler X Pro clip-on cooler to ensure heat dissipation never gets in the way of victory. For those preferring a passive solution, the ROG Chill Case provides near-copper-level cooling without interfering with 5G or Wi-Fi signals.

Immersive Display and Audio

Gaming and entertainment demand a stunning visual experience, and the ASUS ROG Phone 9 series delivers with a 6.78-inch E6 AMOLED display, offering:

185Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth gaming
Adaptive refresh rates for power efficiency
2,500-nit peak brightness for visibility in any lighting condition

The audio experience is equally immersive, featuring a powerful stereo sound system. Using official ROG Phone 9 cases enables Audio Redirect, enhancing front-facing sound. The AeroActive Cooler X Pro even integrates a subwoofer for a richer, deeper audio experience.

Console-Like Controls

The AirTrigger system makes a return, offering precision touch controls with gestures like Dual Action, Press and Lift, and Gyroscope Aiming. For a true console-like feel, the AeroActive Cooler X Pro adds two extra physical buttons, enhancing gameplay control. The ROG Tessen mobile controller transforms the ROG Phone 9 series into a full-fledged portable gaming console, designed for comfort and extended play sessions.
