9:28 Glass is glass, and glass breaks 😉

Having a proper "compact" android phone is definitely going to make a lot of people happy I think.

Can we take a moment to appreciate Asus for: 1) Keeping charger in the package, 2) Keeping 3, 5 mm jack in, 3) Building a flagship phone in a small body.
I just love it!

Who else came back here after the Smartphone awards?

I loooove the smaller size. Really can’t wait (and hope) more phones move in this direction.

Asus is doing really good as a company. They are constantly innovating and creating great products for the consumers. Other companies should learn from Asus. Its sad that phones like Zenfone 9 won't get the recognition due to competitive pricing, but still its a really good device with clean software and unique design. (always love they keep the 3.5mm jack)

I just hope this sells well so that we get more of these kinds of phones

[SiddhantSawhney]

I really wish/hope Asus gets good sales numbers. They've been closely listening to customer feedback and incorporating it with every device. Very few companies are doing that now which makes it even more important that such practices by Asus are encouraged, promoted and supported.
I really love what they've done with the Zenfone 9 here. Wishing them all the luck with this one

Great Video! I really like the Zenfone 9 and that sound hat 9:25 scared the hell out of me hahah

[lNahil]

Anyone else got scared shitless at around 9:20 ? I swear the voice sounded like it was coming from right outside my window and for a second I thought I was getting robbed.

[udinsalam]

I want this badly!!! Thanks ASUS for a groundbreaking for making compact smartphone. Hopefully we can see more smartphone brands moving toward this direction.

What the hell is the background sound at 9:30 minutes?

[TKDVL]

I love how the lights are laid out in the background to match the Zenfone's camera module, a nice detail!

[arpanghosh]

In so many years after analysing every phone what I can conclude is ASUS is understanding the users and making something which consumers really wanted for so long that's how a company should work on their products rather than keeping people thirsty for their upcoming products which may/may not meet the expectations ✌🏻

9:05 "yes most people put a case on their phone"

Thats true, 99% of people put a case on their phone.

The only people who DON't put a case on their phone are you people who review phones for Youtube.

This phone is actually really good. Feels like Asus is stealing OnePlus spot in the market.

[BolusTube]

This phone ticks all the boxes and more. I'm extremely impressed.
I would love to buy it right now if my current phone wasn't less than 1 year old.

[noname-skzk]

The back of the Zenfone 9 kind of gives me Nexus 5 vibes with how big the cameras are compared to the rest of the back of the phone. This is a really awesome compact phone, I wish we had more like it.

[nothere]

Happy to see Asus making compact phones still! The design reminds me a lot of the Nexus 5 from years ago.

Seeing that they moved away from the HEAVY bloatwares! in their 5 series (my dad had) to do this, is really astonishing. The price, features... everything is nailed so well. Asus definitely had been listening to the community (unlike many that still aren't). Definitely loving the compact trend that is growing as years pass.
