        Just a 3.5mm jack isn't enough, we need bootloader unlock which was wrongfully taken away. Boycott Asus until then

                I see why most compact phones of today don't have it....

                  Wish they had kept making the non-Ultra versions too, but I still welcome any flagship option with a jack.

                      Where is the regular zenfone Asus? the compact one you know.. the one that is different from all these large phones

                        3.5mm headphone jack cant be a selling point , greedy ceos it should be a standard feature even though type c earphones exist

                          I like the idea of a headphone jack, but lack of updates and the inability to unlock the bootloader on any ASUS phone to continue updates via a custom operating system is unattractive.

                            If it just has a microSD slot too, I promise to buy it in full public view.

                                But then again, it's just a reskinned ROG Phone 9, so it's not that surprising anyway.

                                  Jake L, 31 Jan 2025Pointless phone with only 2 years android support Agreed...plus way overpriced!!😳😳😳

                                    Now if they would just make this same phone but smaller... and have the US Verizon bands... then we'd have a winner.

                                      Even tough i like headphone jack on a phone but that is not so big of a reason to over spend on a phone. The prices Asus ask for their phones are in the level where they need to give me at least 4 OS updates to consider to get one of their phones.

                                      2 OS updates is already expected on the budget phones as a standard. But when they ask like 600 euro and more for a phone then minimum 4 OS updates should be the standard.

                                        Wait, Zenfone isn't dead? But if it's just the ROG Phone 9 Pro in both specs and design (minus the gaming decor), then it doesn't seem so exciting.
