ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has officially launched the ROG Phone 9 Pro series in Singapore, showcasing cutting-edge features tailored for gaming enthusiasts. With enhanced AI-driven gaming capabilities, powerful performance, and a sleek design, the new series cements its place as a top choice for gamers.
Two flagship models and AniMe Vision display
The ROG Phone 9 Pro series consists of the ROG Phone 9 Pro and the high-end ROG Phone 9 Pro Edition. Both models boast premium aesthetics and the upgraded AniMe Vision mini-LED auxiliary display, featuring 648 programmable LEDs for personalisation and interactive animations.
“The ROG Phone series has always been at the pinnacle of smartphone gaming experience, and we’re proud to bring our latest generation to all Malaysians,” said Ellie Chen, Country Product Manager of ROG Smartphones. “We’ve collected feedback from fans and pro players to ensure the ROG Phone 9 Pro meets every gamer’s demands.”
With the AniMe Vision display, users can enjoy exclusive AniMe Play pixel games and customise animations for a unique experience. When not in use, the display becomes invisible, allowing for a seamless transition between gaming and a minimalist aesthetic.
Gaming power and advanced controls
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform and the ROG GameCool 9 cooling system, the ROG Phone 9 Pro ensures peak performance for extended gaming sessions. AI-driven features such as X Sense 3.0, X Capture 2.0, and AI Noise Cancellation enhance gameplay by detecting key events, recording victories, and improving communication.
The AirTrigger touch system offers console-like controls, allowing users to perform actions like Dual Action, Press and Lift, and Gyroscope Aiming. For an even more immersive experience, the AeroActive Cooler X Pro adds extra physical buttons, transforming the phone into a console-level gaming device.
The ROG Tessen mobile controller is another standout accessory, turning the phone into a professional gaming console for long hours of play.

The sleek, futuristic design features a crystalised nano-texture finish, offering a fingerprint-resistant matte surface. The ROG Phone 9 Pro is also equipped with a triple-camera system enhanced by OZO Audio technology, delivering clear outdoor recordings and high-quality 3D surround sound.
