I have always enjoyed the ASUS Zenfone line -- and with the Zenfone 10, much of what made the previous phones so appealing returns. However, there are some choices made in the ASUS Zenfone 10 that keep it exactly where it was last year -- and that might be where some conflicting feelings come up. Is this still the best small phone? Let's see after week one with the ASUS Zenfone 10.

Yeah although I'm starting to get worried about the Soundcore And they're absurd marketing budget. They must have huge margins of profits on their products because every RU-vidr seems to have a paid gig from them today. I just worry they're going to overdue the marketing and get a reputation like raycon for putting way too much of the cost of these products into marketing on social media

Trade my Pixel 7 for the zenphone 10 and I absolutely love it. It's like I have my pixel 5 again. Battery is amazing, the software is great, the camera is more than enough to take any photo you'll ever need and the performance is outstanding. Only downfall is only two years off OS updates. But 4 years of security patches are good enough.

Glad to hear that and thinking of doing the same. Was thinking about Pixel 8 but worried about Tensor again so I'm leaning towards the Zenfone 10.

I think 1 game changer will be the solid state batteries in a couple of years. These batteries will be able to give us much longer battery life and faster charging. This will enable small premium phones that will last a long time. Though the Zenfone 10 already has impressive battery life. But it will permit companies to put smaller batteries and give more space for other things like better cameras.

@annedreikandt7361 Год назад

Everyone going on about how 2 years of OS updates not being long enough. Realistically, I think for most people it's fine though. I have been using the Asus ZenFone 6 ever since it came out in 2019 and during that time it did let me update to Android 11. Which still works perfectly well and will continue to be absolutely fine. Nowadays Android is so well built and supported that you don't need to update to the newest version, even *if* you want to keep for phone for longer than 2 years (which many people buying phones via a 24 month service provider don't do anyways).

Unnecessary upgrades just for the sake of it so that you charge your customers more is a shit strategy. Just small improvements where it was missed last time, and big improvements where it was particularly bad. That should be the way to go.

But, looking on the Zenfone 10, it seems like the upgrade is too little, like wireless charging is the only one major update? 8 Gen 2, in my opinion still a small upgrade from the 8+ gen 1 that's already a performance monster.. so, is it worth it?

If you were upgrading from the iPhone se (2017), would you get the 10 or a (maybe lower price) 9? I heard that the 9 starts with Android 12 with 2 years of upgrades (at this point probably just around 15 months) and 2 years of security updates …. The 10 starting with Android 13 and 2 years of updates and four years of security…. The lack of focus in the wide angle and selfie cameras is kind of confusing but still probably better than something I’ve been using for 6 years now…

Yeah I'm not sure about the camera, seen a ton of photo comparisons between this & Galaxy S23, and S23 somehow manages to look way more natural.

Pretty disappointed with the cameras, I was really looking forward to getting this instead of the S23.

The Base S23 is a much better deal than the Zenfone 10. many people don't seem to realise that with the thin bezels, the 6.1" S23 is the same size as the 5.9" Zenfone, and not only are the cameras FAR better on the S23 but theyre comparable to that of the iPhone 14 or even better when zooming Also it's a joke Asus is only giving 2 years of OS updates for a 700$ phone!! meanwhile Samsung gives 4. Plus the 9.5mm thickness for the phone size makes it look like a brick, sure it gets good battery life but its simply not as sleek or premium as the iPhone 14 / Galaxy S23 which already give you a full day worth of moderate to heavy battery usage
