Which should you buy?
The ROG Phone 9 Pro edges ahead on the Mars Score (77.7 vs 74), but the 3.7-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the ROG Phone 9 Pro if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. The biggest gaps in its favor are refresh rate, ram, headphone jack.
Pick the X200 Pro if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. Its strongest claims are wireless charging, wired charging, pixel density, among others.
