4K120 is a lot of frames and a lot of resolution at the same time. Try making some good use of it when you can! All the best.

My LG G8x does 4K60 or 1080p240 at best.

            Netflix HDR issue (Zenfone 9)

            Any one experiencing the inability to play Netflix on Full HD on Zenfone 9? I've contacted both Asus and Netflix, and they cannot solved this issue. A little bit dissapointed.

              Adil, 12 Mar 2023I am using it since a month now. Its awesome phone. Battery... moreCan you check if max. cpu frequencies are locked during 1080p recording? This is the downside on zen8 after playing a lot with 1080p video recording in pro video mode. Probably nobody noticed this.
              There are also occasional freezing in recorded videos(3 frames long once per 1-3 min.) which is also downside, but I can live with that. Also noticed that zen8 optical stabilization can make mistake(blurriness in few frames) when light condition are not perfect...I noticed this even when everything was on manual(exposure speed, iso, focus).

              If zen9 doesn't have these minor glitches, I'll be happy.

                Nelson , 03 Jan 2023You know that movies are done at 24fps. It is not all abou... more24fps in movies are good for static scenes. With combination slow exposure times(1/50) you can give the impression that the moving scene(e.g. car chase) was very fast. Motion blur can hide lack of fluency a little bit, but that is all what 24/30fps can gives you.
                As technology improved, 60/120fps with OLED combination can gives you what human eye is capable of perceive and process.
                It is very pleasant to watch 60/120fps fast moving content which was recorded at least 1/400+s per frame.

My concern was about the battery life if I had to increase the brightness level, but the battery is good, I'm not a heavy user and I charge my phone once in 2-3 days.

                      Just bought it and my first impression of the screen brightness is terrible. It's way too dark compared to my old Sony XZ1 compact. At 30% brightness Sony is brighter than Zenfone 9 at 70%. Any suggestions or advice? I'm really disappointed with Zenphone 9 screen brightness.

                        I am using it since a month now. Its awesome phone. Battery life is not an issue at all its excellent. Cameras r very good. The only bad thing is slow photography in night mode. Apart from tht its a near perfect device. Very fast fingerprint scanner. 30 watt charging with option to charge your phone at 18w and 10 w too. I will answer any questions u guys have

I'm sitting here like the thing can do 4k@120fps and they don't even show the video samples? Wtf guys? Also what is this obsession with 4k@30? Who even records at that when you have 4k@60. Just so many questions man.
