Watch the Asus ROG Phone 9 launch live here

Today, the Asus ROG Phone 9 series arrives to shake up the state of gaming phones – it will set a screen refresh rate record, at least among phones that are widely available around the world. Asus already teased the new models at the Snapdragon Summit and revealed that they will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.

The landing page for the launch also promises an upgraded AniMe Vision (the dot matrix LED display on the back of the Pro model) and a “brand new retro experience” (that’s a bit of an oxymoron, isn’t it?). Here’s an official preview of the design of the two phones (no surprises here, it is pure ROG Phone).
