Not everybody needs a 7 inch screen to play games on. Or a 200 Mpix camera to take snapshots of their toddlers. Different people have different requirements.
Just because all the "influencers" peddle the helo flagship phone does not mean, that I, me, myself and I want or need one.
I am a outdoor person. I do road biking, yes, 120 miles, 10 hours, rains, snow, sunshine. I do hiking, in winter, at night, full moon preferred. The last thing that I want to lug around is a boat anchor like brick, that falls apart whenever I slip or crash. Am I a minority, yup. Do I have a problem with that, nope.
So if that iPhone 15 MAXX or that Samsung S25 Ultra++ is great for you, all the power to you.
Yeah, I'd love to have this SDCARD slot, because I will not always have reception, and sometimes, I like to listen to music without having access to that cloud. And yes, this 3.5mm connector is quite convenient, if that is all you got in that remote part of your journey. And yes, this outdated fingerprint sensor on the power button is convenient if you are caught out in a downpour, and the in-screen sensor of your flashy device just does not work.

[deleted post]Don't be salty over such a terrible phone that only sells to less than 1 percent of the market. It's not like the ZenFone has anything that makes it impressive aside from the size. The battery is mediocre,the cameras are mediocre and the cooling is basic at best.

Have you ever seen a zenfone on retail? These phones never go on retail because nobody wants them. You can cry about all day but a pathetic consumer like you will never have influence.

2: If big phones sell so well, then why the average phone still is the size of a hand?
3: You wish ASUS dissolved the ZenFone team when in fact in a recent Q2 earnings call and in an interview, in both times they said that they're NOT dissolving the ZenFone team.

Interesting people in the comment section concerned about small phones not selling. That's not your issue so what's your point? Get a job at ASUS if you're concerned about sales numbers. There are people who like small phones and this is great.

I hope the money they make from selling a phone with 256gb for $200 more (when that's like $10 on Amazon) is worth the frustration they've foisted upon everyone else.

I hope they make it even smaller next year and include SD card slot.
Only Sony seems to be doing that on flagships.
They do stand out

an excellent phone that lacks a very important feature. This is sd card port. Asus please fix it on next model and see your sales to go up and up

Just sharing a few thoughts. Send a Pixel 8 back and got the Zenfone 10 (Sony 5 V does not work here in the US, and the Samsung Software makes the S23 a non starter).
The Pixel 8 is about the same price (well, if you consider the included charger for the ZF10 then it's more expensive). Anyway, there are two main reasons why the Pixel 8 lost out. One is the external design (a 4mm standing out ledge ?), and then the camera. There is no pro mode on the Pixel 8 (every now and then I want to be in charge of shutter speed), and many of the AI marketed features are available on the ZF10 as well throu a Google One subscription. I would suspect that after the novelty wears off, quite a few of the Pixel 8 Pro features will be available throu Google One as well.
There are a few minor nitpicks with the ZF10 software, like "why can I not save raw images ?". And "why does the camera force me to use their Gallery instead of Google Photos ?".
What I wish Asus would do for a ZF11 is to go all out with the next camera sensors on the rear (just keep the current geometry and don't waste resources on a me-too lousy telephoto)., And instead of dual SIM, go for a shared SIM + microSD slot, and add ProRes 422 support to the Video.
In general I do like the tradeoffs they made a lot. No stupid glass back (supposed to feel more premium, but polycarbonate (aka plastic) is just way more practical. The fingerprint sensor in the power button beats the in screen one any day for being more practical.
