Qualcomm has just announced the Snapdragon 8 Elite mobile platform through the 2024 Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii. Soon after, like other brands, Asus also confirmed that its upcoming ROG Phone 9 series will feature the new chipset. Additionally, the brand has confirmed the design and launch date of the ROG Phone 9 series.
Asus has confirmed that it will globally announce the ROG Phone 9 series on Nov. 19. Therefore, it seems that the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip will power the first gaming-focused phone to hit the global market.
The above images released by Asus give a good look at the ROG Phone 9’s front and rear design. The overall design of the phone is quite similar to the ROG Phone 8 series. It has a flat display on the front and a weirdly designed camera module on the back.
The ROG symbol and the LED-enabled dotted ROG logo are also available on the rear shell of the ROG Phone 9 series. The brand has not yet revealed the other color variants of the device. Moreover, the brand has not disclosed any information regarding its other specifications.
The ROG Phone 9 series is not the only gaming phone heading for the launch. Rival brand Nubia has confirmed that the Red Magic 10 Pro series of gaming smartphones will also feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Rumors are circulating that the Red Magic 10 series will officially launch in China in November.
