Rumors of the ROG Phone’s death were exaggerated. A reliable leaker has confirmed that the Asus ROG Phone 10 is in development, ending speculation that Asus quietly ended its premium gaming phone line. The confirmation revives hope for fans expecting another high-performance beast.
Asus ROG Phone 10 leak ends silence around the series
The lack of news throughout 2025 raised questions. By this time last year, Asus had already teased the ROG Phone 9. In contrast, this year brought nothing no trailers, no specs, no leaks. That silence finally broke when Chinese leaker Smart Pikcahu responded directly to a fan, stating, “The ROG 10 is on its way.”
Specs for Asus ROG Phone 10 may include new Snapdragon chip
An earlier post from the same leaker suggests that the Asus ROG Phone 10 will run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The design reportedly stays familiar, but with improved heat control and AI-based optimizations. Features like ray tracing and desktop-grade visuals could give the ROG 10 a serious performance edge.
High refresh rates expected to return
While specs remain unconfirmed, high refresh rates are almost guaranteed. The ROG Phone 9 Pro featured a 185Hz display, and the new model is expected to match that or push higher. Some mobile titles are even being tweaked to take full advantage of these ultra-smooth frame rates.
Launch details remain unclear
So far, Asus hasn’t confirmed any launch date. Still, with leaks now surfacing and no denials issued, a 2026 debut looks likely. If Asus sticks to past patterns, expect official details between Q1 and Q2.
It could be Asus’s return to form
Asus may have paused the hype train, but the hardware isn’t going anywhere. If the Asus ROG Phone 10 launches with everything the leaks promise raw power, cooling upgrades, and PC-style performance, it could be one of the best mobile gaming devices on the market. No more silence. Just signals.
