I have to agree with the general opinion here. Last year, the Zenfone 9 could make sense especially in countries where it's main competition was the Exynos S22, which was kind of a mess. None of this apply here, and Asus has even lost their edge on speakers. Given there isn't any mention of vibration or haptics anywhere, I trust the motor is either the same as last year or worse. And while the Zenfone 9 might seem like an appealing option, there is no mention of it benefiting of the recent support extention promise, meaning it has probably a year left of security updates at best.
I was hesitating between Zenfone 10 and ROG Phone 7, now my preference clearly goes to the later. And again, only considering it over the ROG 6 due to it having many more security updates left.

    Lazerr, 29 Jun 2023No AF on UW and front camera, still using garbage IMX 766 m... more"Garbage IMX 766 sensor"? The IMX 766 is an awesome sensor.

      Pretty disappointed with the upgrade. Very minimal. But Z9 is not an option as software support is basically over at this point. Glad I got a S23 as a successor to my S10e. But I will be missing the S10e side mounted fingerprint reader. The Z10 could have been so much better if the reduced the bezels, improved the cameras and gave longer software support

        Congrats Asus for making cam perform worse than previous.
        Zen9 was already bad at it, now someone there decides to samsungnize it.

                  Mr. Anonymous, 29 Jun 2023Lovely phone. Nice selection of colors, great battery life,... moreIf you really want to pay more for a worse device, go ahead! The smarter ones are getting S23.

                    Expandable storage would've made this an insta buy for me. Maybe if the 512gb model is cheap.

                      Nothing special
                      No 66w
                      No e-sim

                        Lovely phone. Nice selection of colors, great battery life, compact size and 4 years of security updates.
                        I might go for it instead of S23 or pixel 8.

                          [deleted post]I will buy this one over other smartphones (BECAUSE OF THE HEADPHONE JACK). Don't know about other people.

                            kek, 29 Jun 2023Well, there it goes. I guess this will make the Zenfone ... moreIf you can still find a Zenfone 9 at lowered price, then its definitely worth considering. In my country once a new model is launched, Asus usually phase out the older model almost immediately.

                              I'm surprised seeing the benchmark performances... Camera is also quite good. A full package in a small form-factor!

                                Hemedans, 29 Jun 2023I have s20 with latest android and i dont feel any Slugish,... moreI have the S10+ and its still very fast. I also compared the new S23+ with my old phone like how fast they are opening calendar, galery, message app and my old phone is a bit faster due to reduced animation speed. I didnt buy the S23+ due to bananagate, otherwise Galaxy series is a great purchase.

                                  Chaos X 1982, 29 Jun 2023In that case I will get 10V.Zen10 is €800.
                                  5v is €1000.

                                  Ignore that fake account to troll.

                                    4.3 score seems to be way too generous for a phone that is worse than S23 in every single aspects other than headphone jack.

                                      I liked my Zenfone 8 for a while until the camera processing got incredibly slow in Whatsapp and the problems with the OS and camera got more apparent. Dynamic refresh rate was trash from the beginning, so was the german translation of the OS. Zenfone 9 was a nice step up but this? A sidegrade at best, you're better off with a Samsung S23.

                                        rosesarerosie, 29 Jun 2023Yeah for more than twice the priceIn that case I will get 10V.
