The display of the ROG Phone 9 FE will be a 6.78-inch FHD+ (2400×1080 pixels) Samsung Flexible AMOLED LTPO panel refresh rate of up to 165Hz which can scale to 185Hz in Game Genie. The display features a peak brightness of 2,500 nits, and 1,600 nits HBM, as well as the protection of Gorilla Glass Victus 2. It’s similar to the display found in the ROG Phone 9 and Pro models. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor with Adreno 730 GPU, 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, and 256GB UFS 4.0 storage.
The ROG Phone 9 FE has a 50MP Sony IMX890 main (OIS), 13MP ultra-wide and a 5MP macro camera. Meanwhile, the front-facing camera is a 32MP shooter but misses out on the telephoto camera found on the regular ROG Phone 9 models. There is a 5,500mAh battery with support for 65W wired and wireless charging. For reference, the ROG Phone 9 and Pro battery is 5,800mAh with the same 65W charging speed.
