ASUS officially unveiled its ROG Phone 9 series in global markets last year. The series included three models- ROG Phone 9, ROG Phone 9 Pro, and ROG Phone 9 Pro Edition. The brand also seems to be planning on launching a more affordable variant of ROG Phone 9- ROG Phone 9 FE. Last year this device already made its appearance on GSMA and WiFi alliance databases.

ASUS ROG Phone 9 FE has now been spotted on Malaysia’s SIRIM certification and Thailand’s NBTC database with model number ASUS_AI2401_N.

Both the listings reveal the moniker of the device while the NBTC database reveals that the smartphone will support GSM/WCDMA/LTE/NR connectivity options. ASUS ROG Phone 8 and Phone 8 Pro have a similar model number- AI2401, therefore it is assumed that just like ROG Phone 8/8 Pro, ROG Phone 9 FE could be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC as well. Though we should wait for more updates before concluding.

The previous WiFi alliance database revealed that the device will support 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz WiFi bands and WiFi 6 Miracast. The smartphone is expected to arrive with ROG UI based on Android 15 and can be priced lower than ROG Phone 9 series devices.

In the coming days, we may come across some more updates related to this upcoming smartphone. Stay tuned for all the updates.
