Asus ROG Phone 9/9 Pro review

19 November 2024


Sort by:

[deleted post]I wouldn't call it "trash", but it's simply "meh" all around. ROG Phones used to have at least one thing they were absolutely THE BEST on the market - the speakers. Without that, they are just another phone. I don't see any reason to get it over Redmagic 10, Realme GT 7 Pro or even OnePlus 12, especially since all of them are cheaper and aside from Redmagic, they have much better software support.
Even Xiaomi with it's new software/hardware magic which wildly improved the efficiency(on top of gains from the new Snapdragon) would be more interesting choice. I simply cannot fathom why would they try to get out od their niche of the best audio into generic market of averageness.

    damn
    I wasn't expecting such a detailed review tbh

            no matter how much the upgrades, the design will always be generic and boring and for that sole reason I'll not consider this phone. The design up till the 7 was best

              David 040882, 19 Nov 2024For the claimed 90W that the X200 Pro has, it's pretty... moredoes the claim matter more than the actual speed? What kind of ridiculous argument is that lmao

                Poor resolution for a 6.8 screen let alone a gaming phone

                  This is basically the device I'm looking for. A SD 8 Elite phone with fast, bright display, good speakers, long battery life and Stock-Android. It's just so unfortunate that Asus stuck with their 2-year OS upgrade strategy...

                      This phone isn't designed for me. I don't do mobile gaming. Plus the absurd screen size would immediately remove it from any consideration for me.

                      HOWEVER it is great to prove the absolute BS that is the "we needed the space" excuse to remove something BASIC like the headphone jack from flagship phones.
                      Oh, poor you Samsung, you HAD to remove the headphone jack from your gigantic "Ultra" cause you needed the space? Funny... Asus seems to have no trouble finding space for not only the 3.5mm port but ALSO a second USB-C port...
                      How weird...
                      It's almost like you're just lying and removing it to copy the garbage fruit phone...

                          the x200 pro got hit with a "charging speed is only average" as a con but this one has fast charging as a pro? and the gpu stress test aint here either lol the speakers are worse too lol
