Reviews for the Asus ROG Phone 9 FE

ROG Phone 9 FE review – superb value for RM2,999
Source: NLT English
Finally – the question of why this phone exists? Well, I also asked the same question and I thought the phone was unnecessary, until I knew the price. At just RM2,999, you can get this ROG Phone 9 FE. I mean, it’s quite a good deal considering that it comes with the features of the ROG Phone 9, but with the specs of the ROG Phone 8. Yet the price is way lower than expected. As far as I know, there are other promos in the mix as well – making this phone a fantastic deal to those who are eyeing to get the ROG Phone but don’t really vibe with the price. Plus, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 can run at its full potential on the ROG Phone 9 FE – and the performance gap when compared to the 8 Elite is not as significant. That just makes the ROG Phone 9 FE an even better deal, in my opinion.

Undoubtedly, the Asus ROG Phone 9 FE stands out as an astounding option if you want a high-performance smartphone. Moreover, the device is launched at a competitive price, which could pose tough competition to ZTE Red Magic series phones. The phone offers a powerful chipset, generous battery life, and an immersive viewing experience that every gamer demands. It runs smoothly with top-tier games like Final Fantasy, Fortnite, Genshin Impact, and so on. Though the camera setup has its shortcomings, it works fantastic in well-lit conditions. At the same time, fast charging paired with a long-lasting battery is something everyone wants. Long story short, if you prioritize high performance and stunning visuals, this phone would be a safe bet.

Qualcomm Adreno 750: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 25% faster than the Adreno 7340 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and first benchmarks show that the GPU can beat the Apple A17 Pro iGPU. 

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
