No micro SD is a bummer but 512gb of storage may make me consider this at a good price.

Excuse me for rambling so much, it's just that as a person that constantly plugs/unplugs their headphones between their phone and laptop (let's see you pair/unpair that via Bluetooth...), and as a happy Zenfone 9 owner, I just get so happy when a high-end phone has a 3.5mm jack.

As for improvements over the Zenfone 10 and 9, it's mainly the telephoto, and 1600 nits HBM, my Zenfone 9 can only hit 800 nits.
Downgrades, apart from the size, include no charger, no swipe-on-the-power-button, and a glass back.

Yes, I can, at this size absolutely.

As I said, the pro of the 32MP telephoto is further digital zoom to like 10x, not having actual 32MP files.

Unfortunatelly this doesn't matter at all, as the telephoto on this phone, and the Rog Phone 8 duo can't take higher than 8 MP shots, and it can't shoot 4k videos at all.
"9: Historically, Zenfone's camera processing was actually better than Samsung's, in fact second after the Pixels'. Might not be the case this year though."
Not sure about other Zenfones, but it's definitely not the case this year.
"13: You call this a generic camera bump? Look at Samsung for a moment! lol"
I wouldn't call this generic, I would call it ugly, while Samsung's camera bump is indeed generic, but still looks far better.
The only 3 big advantages I can see with this phone in comparison with the S24+, is the bigger battery, the headphone jack, and the stock android software.. the 4th could've been the faster charging, but neither of them come with a charger, and it's easier to get a compatible one for Samsung phones.

Cmon people, this phone is SO much better than S24+ and even S24U in most regards:
1: A bigger battery, and FAR better battery life.
2: Game Genie and 144hz for gaming.
3: No Exynos!
4: Has a 3.5mm jack! This should be normal, yet it isn't! But here it is! This alone makes it the flagship of the year for me.
5: The telephoto is 32MP rather than 10MP on the S24+, letting you zoom in digitally even further.
6: Up to 16GB of RAM.
7: Charges at 65W.
8: Stock Android, with optimizations selectable on/off. Why isn't this normal on all phones?!
9: Historically, Zenfone's camera processing was actually better than Samsung's, in fact second after the Pixels'. Might not be the case this year though.
10: Its edges won't cut into your hand.
11: It has WiFi7, unlike S24+.
12: Extremely effective High Performance Mode.
13: You call this a generic camera bump? Look at Samsung for a moment! lol
14: Has "AI" features as well, but without naming the entire event after them, Samsung.
15: Comes with a case, which is even more important than a charger, as cases are model-specific.
The cons do exist, unfortunately:
1: Much shorter software support.
2: Bootloader might not be unlockable.
3: No microSD, and no 1TB version.
4: Glass back? Really Asus? I LOVE the grippy back of my Zenfone 9, and here you do exactly the opposite, a shattering glass back. Same goes for most competitors, though.
5: No charger this year. Same goes for $amsung, but not for, say, OnePlus.
6: No IR blaster. Again, same goes for Samsung, but not for the Chinese competitors.
7: We do not know whether we will see a small version. :(
8: 1080p rather than 1440p. (Would you notice at this size though?)

Well done dropping one of the three things that made your phone unique* and actually worth to buy by /eliminating/ an option, instead of just adding an Ultra device.
* size, battery life, clean OS.

Stratospheric, 07 Mar 2024Huge size increase but dropped the FM radio 🤦🏼♀️. A... moreNot necessarily. Previous Zenfones does have FM Radio, but not for the EU. Apparently, it has got to do with the EU rule about having DAB radio on phones. Sony also do the same with Xperia 10 series as SEA models do have it but not the EU.
