It's probably no surprise that Asus gaming phones are simply good. Basically, there's nothing wrong with the ROG Phone 9 and there's not much to fault it for. What's probably most detrimental to the smartphone is its similarity to the previous generation, as the improvements over last year aren't substantial enough to give ROG Phone 8 owners reason to consider upgrading.
