The Asus ROG Phone 9 and ROG Phone 9 Pro were unveiled back in November, with the US launch planned for January 2025. Well, here we are in January 2025, and the two flagship smartphones have now finally become available in the US.
The recommended pricing is $999.99 for the ROG Phone 9, $1,199.99 for the ROG Phone 9 Pro, and $1,499.99 for the ROG Phone 9 Pro Edition. Currently, Asus’ online store has a $100 off deal on the ROG Phone 9, bringing its price down to $899.99. It’s unclear how long this introductory deal will last, however.
