ASUS ROG Phone 9 has surfaced on China's CQC certification site, giving an early look at some of its features. The listing reveals the phone's charging speed, while a tipster has shared details about its processor, display, and memory. This follows the release of the ROG Phone 8 Pro, which debuted earlier this year at CES 2024.

The tipster, known as Smart Pikachu, shared the CQC listing on Weibo. The listed model, ASUS AI2501A, is different from the ASUS AI2501C model seen in the IMEI database. Both are consistent with the model numbers of the ROG Phone 8 series, which carried the ASUS_AI2401_A label.

Key details from the listing suggest that ASUS may equip the ROG Phone 9 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor. This comes as no surprise, as the ROG Phone 8 shipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The phone could also maintain the same 65W charging speed as its predecessor, though faster charging would have been welcomed by fans. The ROG Phone 8 series, with its 65W charger, can fully charge in 39 minutes and supports PD 3.0 and Quick Charge 5.0 standards.

Though the display is expected to be upgraded, details remain unclear. The ROG Phone 8 featured a 6.78-inch 165Hz FHD+ LTPO AMOLED screen with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection and a peak brightness of 2,500 nits.
