The Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro stands out in the gaming phone market, particularly in terms of battery life. With a 5,800 mAh battery, it has shown impressive endurance during testing, lasting 20 hours and 34 minutes in a continuous web browsing test, which is significantly longer than many competitors. For comparison:
- OnePlus 12R: 18 hours and 8 minutes
- iPhone 16 Pro Max: 17 hours and 17 minutes
- Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: 16 hours and 45 minutes
- OnePlus 12: 17 hours and 5 minutes
These results illustrate that the ROG Phone 9 Pro not only surpasses its predecessor, the ROG Phone 8 Pro (which lasted almost 19 hours), but also outperforms other flagship smartphones in the same category[1][3][4].
In terms of usage scenarios:
- The ROG Phone 9 Pro provides about 4.5 hours of intense gaming, which is competitive but slightly lower than some other devices with larger batteries like the Nubia Red Magic series, which can offer longer gaming sessions due to their higher capacity batteries[2][4].
- Regular everyday use can yield around 26 hours, showcasing its efficiency for non-gaming tasks[2].
Charging capabilities also enhance its usability; it supports 65W wired charging, reaching approximately 37% in just 15 minutes, which is competitive but slightly behind faster chargers from other brands like Nubia's offerings[1][4].
Overall, the ROG Phone 9 Pro sets a high standard for battery life among gaming phones, outperforming many flagship models while maintaining robust performance metrics.
