Absolutely. Tempted to sell my S23 for one. It all depends on how they handle various things, but it all sounds good so far. I'm happy with my S23 but I want to put my money where my mouth is and support a company like Asus for doing the compact flagship thing right.
For me my current Asus Zenfone 8 was the very last Asus product I am touching, I am hating this phone whenever I just unlock it. The size and headphone jack originally motivated me for this phone, the camera lacks so much (compared to my old Huawei P20 Pro), the phone is not super fast and hangs quite often, battery is completely garbage and the phone gets really hot with a few simple tasks. My next phone will be Huawei again, with or without Google, I don't even care anymore I just don't wanna hate my phone anymore every single day lol
Am comparing with the Samsung S23. Surprised to find they are same size, but main pros of Zenfone for me are the much larger battery and 3.5mm jack. Cons are sadly the software side which are the deal breaker for me and I'll stick with samsung.
Awww fuck. This was an instant buy for me until I read that. Maaan. Why they gotta fuck shit up like that? It doesn't even seem like it'd be terribly hard to implement. Fuck I was so excited for a few minutes. Finally a smaller and powerful phone. And coming at a time when I am looking at replacements. 'No Updates.' Fucking DOA. Dammit.
Yeah, I’ve been beta-testing a Lemmy app on my iPhone and it’s not perfect and it had an issue which caused me to accidentally double- and triple-post.
I was really hyped for the Zenfone 9 since it had all the features i wanted, and the 10 seems to be just as stunning. I wouldn't even mind paying the higher price for some unique features in a small package, but two years of updates for a flagship is a big no for me.
Got a pixel 6a instead for half the price and five years of updates, directly from the source.
Same for me. Zenfone 9 is almost twice the price of Pixel 6a and is promised half the years of updates... Plus I get to try Graphene OS with the Pixel. But I would have preferred Zenfone 9's more compact form for my baby sized hands.
Wasn't it mostly battery life concerns related to their choice of SOC, and camera not being quite up to scratch? Seems like they've addressed both and upgraded the battery.
