Asus has the right ideas mostly, well at least nearly and certainly better than the rest.

the specs are very good ... but the price is not the case : should not be over 600€/$

Come on Asus.. keep promoting and supporting... you should sell this in numbers to inform all other phone manufacturers that this is the right phone size and 6.5in+ size ones are tablets.....

Asus should not stop with this. They should launch 'a' series of this phone with sd 778 with no IP rating at less price to compete against Pixel 6a, nothing phone (1), etc

This phone came so close to being the perfect phone yet went so far in the end.
They fixed things that did not need it at all
• The glass back was much much better & reliable(unless you throw it on a weekly basis)
• The speakers needed to be left untouched
• Scratch resistant GG3 vs some dust magnet polymer
The cons are just a few but
• Was the design change really a need or being simply symmetric would've been better/cheaper
• You put in all top techs and miss latest usb and video output?
• Was gimbal stabilization worth adding?
• Why a similar spec rog6 tackles throttling much well?
• Stopping at android 14? Atleast 15 was expected
• Absence of adaptive refresh rate?
• 800??
The thing is with such an exorbitant pricing, they killed the value for money factor zenfone 8 offered. Now they're even closer to the iphone range giving customers an option to buy apple if they spend so much. What I can think of is zenfone 8 was quite a vfm product to establish the asus name in compact segment and now they're leveraging it for fatter margins in zenfone 9.
That said, credits where due
• Fitting such chip in 5'9 and optimizing thermals, love it
• 7+ hr SOT in 5'9, thanks that you listened asus
• 3.5mm jack, amazing
• Adapter and case in the box, very very confidence building
though the case shown in advertisement would've been loved
• Better main camera? Again glad you listened :)
• 3 year security updates, thanks but 4/5 would be better
• Victus? Great

It would be better if it has a bigger battery to make some "spice/specialty" of the product. ROG for gaming, "plain" Zenfone for business with best-in-class battery life, Zenfone Pro (or you Asus renames it as Zenfone Zoom or whatever) for focusing on photography .
