Most I am willing to pay for this phone at max spec is $900. Am I out of touch? Wouldn't mind less storage if it had a micro sd slot.

Ive received my 512GB CN set Global Rom flashed which comes with aero cooler x for USD900. And oh boy. I felt like i hit a home run. Where im from, the Global version cost USD1200 and the cooler x an additional USD110. I literally saved USD400 by taking the risk of purchasing the global rom flashed set. Works like a charm, the only downside, theres no OTA firmware updates. But its so easy to download the firmware manually from the official website. Win win for me. Coming from rog 5s pro, id say i made a good upgrade.

I have this phone now. I ordered it from Amazon. It was rather expensive. I love it though. Beautiful sreen. Great size. Light. Battery is great. Charging is super quick. Its One Plus snappy when using.
Pictures though are horrible if the lightning is not perfect or not in the day very dark. Videos look the same. Coming from a Pixel 8 Pro it is tough to go from it to this. Pictures are that bad. I don't know if the picture quality is going to make me return it.

Also the screen reads your fingers at 960hz (touch response)
Compared to the asus ROG 720hz (still good but nothing ground breaking.
And RM 9 easily beats the ROG 8 in AnTuTu benchmarks and for less then half the price... Only reason to get ROG 8 is dust and water resistance.
ROGs are still great phones but after having 3 of them and then trying the red magic I'll stick with them.
Also all my USB c docks and hubs that didn't work on my ROG 5s and ROG 6 pro work on my red magic 9...

Was looking forward to upgrade from my ROG 5.
But Asus took everything i liked about the 5 - the no holepunch screen, the excellent front facing dual speakers, even the top and bottom symmetrical bezels which prevented accidental touch during gaming, and just threw them in the gutter and went the generic "mainstream" look for this one.
I think they forgot that this was a gaming phone in trying to cater to a wider audience. Now I dont see any point in buying this over other flagships as the price is nearly the same or even more (maybe except for the 3.5mm jack) .
Why not keep the ROG series for the gaming enthusiasts and diversify the Zenfone lineup instead for the general consumers?

Perfect phone but lacks couple of must have hardware features like eSIM and IR Port. I really wish if it had come with these additional features along with nice to have FM too. Seriously IR Blaster Port is like a must have features in every phone. It is really convenient feature to operate mobile like a remote control for all household appliances. I dont know why manufacturers have dropped it. Really disappointed

Need your opinion folks. CNY/Spring festival is around the corner so phone sales a going crazy here. I stumbled across an ad selling 512gb CN set flashed to Global Rom, with cooler x included for Usd900. I personally find this to be a good deal. But my concern, flashing to global rom, can this be done?? Or the seller is faking the advertisement because i know from past models, asus locked root etc right?
Even if this can be done, will this method brick the phone down the road? And im sure the is no OTA firmware updates because of the flashing done. Manual firmware updates?

They really made an generic phone with "gaming" features. Even the Oneplus 12 sounds better than this! Sorry Asus but you took one big sidestep with the ROG phone 8 and failed with all these downgrades. Not paying the money you are asking for. End of an era bye bye.

I don't see why anyone would buy this. It has lost everything that made it different. Not even talking about the styling. I think it's good that they toned it way down. But why buy a phone for this price when you know the support and the camera are going to be less than budget tier. And believe me, my rog 6 takes worse pics and has less updates than my 3yo €200 Xiaomi phone. But still I prefer the rog phone cause of the cleaner software and the front facing notification led. But that's gone now...
