Asus launched the ROG Phone 9 and 9 Pro in 2024, then halted the series, leaving no ROG Phone 10. Leaked firmware now reveals what the cancelled models might have offered.\n\nBoth would have featured the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5ocomplete chipset, 5G, UFS 4.0 storage, LPDDR5X RAM, and Wi‑Fi 7. Gaming‑centric tweaks were expected, but the hardware alone would have impressed.\n\nThe Pro model’s camera would have had a 50MP main sensor from Omni Vision’s OV50Q (also in Xiaomi 17), a 13MP ultrawide, a 32MP telephoto with 3× zoom, and a 32MP selfie.

The regular version would use a 50MP main from Sony IMX766, matching ultrawide and selfie, plus a 5MP macro.\n\nWith no official release, we’ll never see the design or full feature set, but the leaked details paint a picture of a device that pushed gaming performance and photography further than the 9 series.\n\nIndustry analysts predict Asus may shift focus to other gaming hardware or foldable devices, but the 10’s rumored specs remain a tantalizing glimpse into what could have been.
