Asus ROG Phone 9 FE Surfaces on NBTC Certification, Launch Expected Soon
Like the Pro and base variants, the ROG Phone 9 FE will support GSM/WCDMA/LTE/NR network connectivity. But it should arrive with some alterations. This also means a lower price point, since those specs will be fewer than the base and pro models. The ROG Phone 9 FE will mark Asus’s entry into the FE (Fan Edition) segment of the gaming phone category, bringing an affordable option that doesn’t skimp too much on performance.
As for hardware, the ROG Phone 9 FE is likely to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Elite processor, which should fit in the affordable segment while still offering excellent gaming performance. The camera setup is also expected to be similar to the other ROG Phone 9 models, with a triple rear camera setup, headlined by a 50MP primary sensor and a 32MP front-facing sensor for selfies. Additionally, the ROG Phone 9 series models, including the FE variant, are expected to have a 5800mAh battery with 65W wired charging support.
While the NBTC certification hints at the ROG Phone 9 FE’s upcoming release, more detailed information about the device is still to come. Fans of the series can expect additional leaks and official announcements soon.
