Patchy, 30 Aug 2022Geez I'm an idiot. I've attached a magnetic ring ... moreHahah no worries, mostly looking to minimize the stock camera wobble that seems pretty common on most phones these days. Case options seem limited for this phone so far, but it's not a deal breaker of course

Zenfone 9 arrived today. I used the data transfer app and it's all go. The only thing that disappointed me was that it now doesn't have the FM radio anymore and I can't sort the apps in alphabetical order. The apps are all jumbled up, hard to find one in particular. The phone is very slick and data transfer is fully successful.

Ganesh , 06 Aug 2022Screen should be 5.7 inch and battery should be 7000 mah wi... more7000mAh battery in a compact phone that size would result in a very fat phone form factor. Have you looked at the huge battery in the Blackview BL8800pro ? That phone is over 17mm thick.

After watching the review video, the pros and cons for me personally are:
pros: compact flagship phone, analog audio output (via a 3.5mm jack, but via USB-C would've been fine with me too), 16GB RAM option, decent battery size for a compact phone.
cons: no expansion memory card slot
I personally would have preferred an expansion memory card slot if getting the space for it meant sacrificing the 3.5mm audio jack and rerouting the analog audio output via the USB-C port. There are cheap analog USB-C earphones on ebay which work great.

I came here because the phone is compact, and I like flagship compact phones which there are not many to choose from. I hope someone will develop LineageOS to run on it without Google services though like the Zenfone8.

Look like a good phone, but it doesn't have expandable storage(microSD) nor an fm radio (war is starting to look real over the past few years). Gonna sell worse than either of the zenfone 8.

I wouldn't mind having this, but I'm in NA. I'm not holding my breath. Asus, while a very capable computer & peripheral maker, has this way of not getting phones ready for US market. AFAIK, zenfone 8 never had a NA version. I asked them once if the zenfone 8 would work in US with volte on tmobile and they said "no". Also (and this doesn't just apply to ASUS of course), the price of Android phones from "secondary" manufacturers used to be less than equiv Samsung. Now they're virtually the same. Not that I'm a Samsung fanboy, but what's the point...

Dealbreaker for me is no eSIM support.
And don't tell me about the esim.me service. Some providers do not provide a QR code. You must instead load their app, which directly loads the eSIM into your OS's eSIM interface.
