    Anonymous, 01 Jul 2023My 6.67 inch screen phone is 181g while Zenfone 10 is 172g ... moreMaybe we should compare the equivalent quality classes. An all-glass S23 vs S23 Ultra is whooping 60 grams. S23+ 30 grams. Even A54 with plastic back is 35 grams heavier.
    Of course, you can make a very light all-plastic 6,7" phone and also a truly heavy iPhone Pro with 6,1" and unbelievable 206 grams...

      Vegetaholic, 01 Jul 2023You people need to get a ducking life, 6.7 inch or 5.9 inch... moreYou do understand that it's a lot easier to one handed operating the phone when it's smaller ?

      Reaching top and bottom of the screen with your thumb finger while holding the phone
      If the phone is larger then it be way harder to reach with one handed so you basically need that ring thing to balance so your phone dont drop while you need to reach with one hand

      Never mind that smaller phones are more comfortable to carry around as they fit in your pockets and dont need to have extra special made pockets for tablet size phones. Basically buy cloths based on phone size and not based on your taste in fashion

        blue, 01 Jul 2023Really? Almost the same? You lie. 6,7" is over 160 mm... moreMy 6.67 inch screen phone is 181g while Zenfone 10 is 172g and S23 is 168g so the weight is not a lot less to compare on the phone size.

        But on the fitting pockets and so on i agree with you.

          6,7" is over 160 mm, 5,9" can be below 145 mm (if not made by Asus) tall. A great difference fitting into smaller pockets.
          Zenfone with 5,9" is 1 cm narrower than 6,8" Galaxy S23 Ultra, also a notable difference.
          And, of course, smaller phone is much lighter. (And no, don't tell me to exercise more to be able to hold it, if you know nothing about long term overload made even by small weight difference.)
          Of course, if you are a phone slave, you can never understand that.

            Anonymous, 29 Jun 2023So you're saying males can't also want a small ph... moreYou people need to get a ducking life, 6.7 inch or 5.9 inch phones they almost same size. The only difference it's 6.7 incher is taller, in reality having 5.9 phone gives you no real advantage at all, 6.7 will have taller screen but phone will be no wider than 5.9 basically almost same size but you loose precious screen estate with 5.9. What's the point to have than 5.9 incher?? It's not like they get wider like it was in 16:9 era. And become impossible to hold.

                With battery capacity difference the endurance of Zenfone should be much higher. It is not, too bad.
                With fast charging capability it should be charged sooner, but it lost. Again, too bad.
                Camera quality can be seen in the review. Stop defending the fail.

                  Chaos X 1982, 30 Jun 2023Xperia has far superior software than Galaxy.yeah, terrible software.

                    Plastic back and no auto focus for cameras that dont even seem to be flagship level.
                    Asus isn't special on charging slow down when battery starts to get full and it's only 400mAh larger over S23 and that takes 10 minutes longer to charge. 144hz screen is only for gaming

                    For just headphone jack there is too much you need to miss out for flagship features and higher price too. Especially that Asus only give 2 OS updates is a fail too for this price.

                    2 OS updates less then S23 means that the phone life time is shorter cause apps lose support on older OS number so this Zenfone end on Android 15 while S23 on Android 17

                      blue, 30 Jun 2023Asus has bigger battery, but does not make it into better e... moreOh boy you're blabbering without any data.
                      s23 endurance rating - 101h
                      Zenfone 9 endurance rating - 109h, so Zenfone 10 which is supposed to be more efficient will have higher endurance by simple maths.
                      As per online reviews, s23 takes 65 minutes and Zenfone 9 takes 1hr 15 minutes to fully charge. A mere 10 minutes difference. (which is obvious since a larger battery will take longer time to fully charge). But Zenfone lasts longer because it has a larger battery. Also to mention, Zenfone intentionally charges slower towards the end for longetivity of battery.
                      You're right about brightness (well the only thing you're right about).
                      Camera performance we can judge only after longer usage and reviews.
                      Try again with some data maybe?

Faster charging that takes more time than S23. Better camera specs that in reality don't transfer to better image quality. 144Hz display, but with poor brightness.
                          All these features are easily beaten by S23.
                          Asus has only one thing, and that's jack. Not enough to justify higher price.
