What made zenfone 10 attractive was that they were the only ones to provide a true flagship that could fit into my small hands..
I also love using my old sennheiser in ear headphones rather than any wireless headphones/tws/neckband..

      but lack of updates and locked bootloader makes it unappealing to me.

        ASUS better launch the well-known compact Zenfone to complement the larger Zenfone, as they did with the Zenfone 8 series.

          i miss the headphone jack a lot, but i won't get this phone if i'm also getting lower pixel density and less software support than the competition. mid phone

              Oneplus 12 is 4 years major, 5 security
              assu is 2 years major, 4 security

              you maybe looking at security updates? and I'm looking at major Android version updates?
              it's -2 years of major and -1 security - there - do you agree?

                We want the small one and the old Asus with pop up camera.
                This new phone is just "another one"

                        Flip camera not even mentioned was the only reason I was happy to buy more from Asus, I wanted it to keep getting better

                          This unfortunately isn't exactly surprising. At £820 it has to do better than simply existing as one of the vanishingly few options with a headphone jack. Samsung, Apple, OnePlus and Google all exist at this price point and all of them have better displays and better software support, and I can't exactly blame anyone for thinking they'd just make do with Bluetooth or a dongle at that point.

                          People will just use this as blatant evidence nobody cares about the 3.5mm port anymore, which is outright false, it's just nobody cares about average phones like this one.

                              I am surprised.
                              Yes its not the best flagship out there but far from worst.

                                I would consider Asus if it would at least match oneplus

                                  I did miss that one, looks likespecs and looks of non ultra phone tho. No wonder.

Kind of the same approach when I'm looking at Pixels. 7A has a smaller 64MP sensor than the 7's 50MP, but I think the tradeoff for more megapixels is worth it.

                                      I am always asus zenfone lover from beginning zen fone 2 3 4 and so many models.. and all of them are super good...
                                      Now my choice is one handed 6 inch or less size phone. But now after comparison asus with samsung s 22 23 is way ahead...only reading asus news may b they made small fone.. but they are running on the same track.. 6.8 or bigger size..
