Despite the improvements, the ASUS ROG Phone 9 Pro remains most suited for gaming…
The ROG Phone 9 Pro is now here to showcase ASUS’ unwavering dominance in the dedicated gaming phone market, bringing stupendous performance thanks to Qualcomm’s exceptional Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Sure, it’s all roses when it comes to raw performance and synthetic benchmark supremacy, but how has ASUS tackled other essential pillars of the flagship smartphone experience? The camera package has always been a crucial aspect of every phone, be it a «regular» flagship or a gaming-oriented device.

From the get-go, it’s pretty obvious that the only notable difference between the ASUS ROG 9 Pro and its predecessor is the sensor behind the camera, and even then, both the Sony LYTIA 700 in the new device and the Sony IMX890 inside the ROG Phone 8 Pro share very similar specs. All the other cameras are essentially the same as before.
Is the ROG Phone 9 Pro then destined to share the slightly unimpressive camera prowess of its predecessor?
