      Asus, why do you always forget country India to release your 'really smartphones' or Are you afraid of competitions from Xiaomi, Vivo or Realme of India, really 😀😀😀😀😀???

That alone reduces the price to about 200 bucks. And they they cut cost by not including the charger and case. It would cost the same or more then Zenfone 8 if Nothing opted for an 800 series processor.

          And the pro version? maybe gray launch this on 28 and the same but improved for later?

            Not sure if chip upgrade worth considering it, keeping in mind that new chip is really hot. I find my Xperia 5 III better in almost any aspect, battery\screen\speakers\camera\etc., and now it will be cheaper than new Zenfone 9. Perhaps it is not present in that many markets as asus does.
            And I really hate combination of notch and wide chin, it's just so wrong.

              Does anyone know how good their OS is and how often are the updates?

                Anonymous, 13 Jul 2022There's no way they'll be able to sell it at all ... moreGood enough for next year and so.

ESPECIALLY the curved variety. Glass screen protectors are a hassle to install and if it has an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner its even worse.

And coming with that is improved tech, like a more powerful chipset or a more versatile camera setup, new features, etc. And most of those are also power-consuming, which forced them to use a bigger battery cell, hence increasing the phone size. Still, this size is still a lot smaller than most of today's phone choices without compromising anything, and I personally think that there's no way a tablet would become the new compact standard, as now phone sizes don't increase much anymore (most phones are at 6.5-6.7', except those huge phones at 7'+, which also target to a special type of users like these compact phone), so I don't see the reason why would compact phones' size increase.

                        Same. Bezels are required for better grip and also they look good to me. Those Sony phones with big bezels, they're such good designs. Phone companies are reducing bezels to stupidly thin levels. They look bad

                                  Shame they put in a hothead chip inside, a weaker more power efficient chip would be better for battery time and heat output.

                                  For the rest a great compact phone like the previous one… now let’s hope these ones don’t have a ton of quality issues because Asus their smartphone support is beyond terrible.
