This MIGHT be the Best Flagship device of 2022! - ASUS Zenfone 9

It has a headphone jack, it's automatically the best phone of the year

[roguegaming]

Battery life is underrated in this. If Pixel could do similarly.

Happy to see this having 3.5 jack and side mounted fingerprint sensor...i dont mind if no wireless charging.

[CornStreetVEVO]

I've had mine for about a month now and I absolutely love it. This is everything I've wanted in a phone, and no more having to wrestle with a tablet masquerading as a phone

This is the unofficial succsesor of S10e. My galaxy has the sensor swipe option from day one and I swear this is the most useful design feature ever. S10 is also features with an amazing camera and excellent video recording. I am very sad we don't have such an offering from Samsung.

One thing I'll agree on: smaller is better, and I'm digging flat screens again. I know it's bulkier, but my Fold4 feels so good in the hand (shout-out to Flossy) because it's so narrow when folded. This one has that candy bar proportion as well, and it looks GOOD.

If ASUS could commit to Samsung-level security/OS update support, it'd be much more compelling. As it stands, it's fantastic hardware that I'd never buy because I don't want it to be dead in the water on the software/security side in a year or two.

Small form flagship with a headphone jack, dual sim card slot and charger included😍

[ekramyt]

best things about zenfone is the charging lock . you can set what percent you need to end the charging by sliding the amount of percentage at the setting .

[snipershotsphotography]

i bought it for the size mainly. rest is a bonus.

[_IQ_Noob]

If zenphone 10 does what thus guy did plus polishing the camera system and do a little bit magic with the software, it can easily be the best small phone on the market .

My only problem with this phone is the bezel. If the screen had proportional thin bezels, then this is an instant buy for me.

I've had the Sony 1 III, S22 Ultra, 10pro, pixel 6pro and 7pro. This phone is my daily driver. Butter smooth, Can't kill the battery even on 120, headphone jack and enough features baked In that make sense. Fingerprint sensor crazy fast and the size is perfect. Camera is a little over-processed at times but I can live with it. 2 years of support is enough for me..Phone is a little beast.

[madthough]

Just picked mine up a few days ago, such a good phone. Fast, great battery, good camera

[ROGERDATTT]

i have pixel 5, s22, xperia 5 iv and zenfone 9 at present. Also tried pixel 6a but 60hz killed it. As of now its just between xperia and zenfone. Would have picked s22 overall if not for the crappy battery life. Size and feel Pixel 5, camera s22, battery and lock button xperia or zenfone., processor handsdown zenfone. Came form fold and s22 ultra but i just love the feel of a compact phone, for me the best compact size would be pixel 4a.

[BashirSensei]

I've got this phone from 2 weeks after too much searching and waiting for a worthy compact phone.. before Zenfone 9 release i was confused between the S22, Xiaomi 12, iphone 13
All this devices having a big disadvantages, samsung removed charger & the headphone jack and it's still expensive (it has a previous version of processor), Xiaomi having a bad software experience with a lot of complains I've heard from my friends, iphone software is very difficult for an 8 years android user, I'm really satisfying with the Zenfone 😃

[Rehnstrand]

This seems like an interesting phone that I've had my eyes on since it was released but it's pretty highly priced in my country but if it will turn up some good Black Friday deal i might go for it.

[aaronangeles]

Asus zenfone 9 looks good. But the problem is the pricing.

[amitgarde]

Watching this on my "Zenfone 5Z" which is still a beast even after 4.5 years of usuage with similar smoothness and performance as it was on its day 1 😉❣️

I always think of an upgrade to new device my Zenfone 5Z holds me back for more months with its beauty of look and feel, performance & camera 😍
A proud Zenfone Owner 😎
Thanks to Asus 🤗

Best compact Android phone at the moment. But I think the Pixel 6a, Xperia 5 IV and S22 is the better size to function so far. But this isn't far behind. 6 inchers have become a rare norm these days.
