- Asus will unveil the gaming phone on November 19
The Asus ROG Phone 9 is likely to be one of the best gaming phones of the year, and we know it will officially launch on November 19. Now a new benchmark leak gives us an idea of how powerful this device could be.
As noted by MySmartPricethe Asus ROG Phone 9 has appeared in the Geekbench ML database. The ML (machine learning) benchmark tests how well a phone can handle various artificial intelligence tests, and the Asus device scored 1812.

Those spec bumps help explain the high AI processing score: if you read our Asus ROG Phone 8 review you’ll see that it tops out at 12GB of RAM and has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor inside, which arrived at the start of the month was launched. 2024.
