ASUS ROG Phone 9 Pro review: Ultimate bragging rights

Quick Summary:

As I've said several times in these reviews, two updates just aren't adequate any longer, and with budget phones like the Nothing Phone 2a getting three updates, it doesn't make sense that a $1,499 device is limited to two Android OS updates, particularly when Google is starting to roll out these updates sooner.

ASUS clearly knows how to make a great gaming phone, and the Taiwanese manufacturer has dominated this category in the last eight years.

What's interesting is that ASUS once again has a higher thermal threshold than other brands, and as a result, the ROG Phone 9 Pro went up to a scorching 52 degrees Celsius during 3DMark's Steel Nomad Light stress test with X Mode enabled.
