ASUS ROG Phone 9 FE: A Cheaper Gaming Smartphone With an Older Chip
ASUS has just launched a new gaming smartphone, and it’s exciting news for budget-conscious gamers! The ROG Phone 9 FE is finally here, offering a powerful gaming experience at a more affordable price.
Right now, the ROG Phone 9 FE is only available in Thailand, and the biggest change compared to the regular ROG Phone 9 is its chipset. While the standard model comes with the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite, the ROG Phone 9 FE features the slightly older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. But don’t worry—this phone still packs a punch!
Everything else remains top-tier. The ROG Phone 9 FE boasts 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, 256 GB of storage, and an impressive 6.78-inch OLED display with a 165 Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth gaming. The camera setup is just as solid, featuring a 50 MP main shooter, 13 MP wide-angle lens, and a 5 MP macro camera, while the 32 MP front camera ensures crisp selfies and high-quality streaming.
Performance-wise, the Snapdragon 8 Elite is about 25-30% faster in CPU tests and 30-35% better in GPU benchmarks compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but it also consumes more power. That means the ROG Phone 9 FE could offer better battery efficiency while still delivering great performance.
At $890, the ROG Phone 9 FE isn’t exactly cheap, but it’s a more budget-friendly alternative to the pricier ROG Phone 9. For gamers looking for a high-performance smartphone without completely breaking the bank, this might just be the perfect choice!
