Asus has created a dedicated microsite to tease the launch of the ROG Phone 9. The listing has an "AI on, game on" tagline suggesting that the handset will ship with on-device AI features and an AniMe display.

The listing includes official renders of the ROG Phone 9 that show the phone in a black colour option with a hole-punch display design and minimal bezels, matching its predecessor's design language. It has a boxy design and boasts LED lighting on the back alongside a triple rear camera unit.
