This phone is amazing. Battery life is great, it's fast. There's no bloatware. It's not the size of a curiseship. Best phone I've had. The only con is that it's harder to find a case due to it not being a major phone, however it does come with a case in the box. I've had it for about a month so.

Yeah dude, I just bought this phone to play Genshin, and boi this phone can play Genshin max settings at 60 FPS. 100% recommend for gaming For those wondering about the camera, the app kinda sucks But gaming performance is awesome!

Amazing top end phone with a small screen. This is the only phone that I know of that has top end specs and a smaller screen. This is easily used with one hand. The only problem I have with it, is the scarcity of cases available. No OtterBox out there for this phone.

ASUS is making a case for small phones to make a comeback with the Zenfone 9.

Compact Size (even smaller than its predecessor), Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 inside, Impressive battery life, Charger still included in the box, Headphone jack, Upgraded cameras

Display refresh rate can feel a bit jumpy at times, Not available in the US yet, with no indication of when

Zenfone 9 puts all the brand-name phones behind it with high-end performance at a premium price. And the camera is awesome.

The second-fastest phone we've tested (second only to Asus' own ROG Phone). Super stable video with gimbal! A find for the price.

No teleoptics. Storage space cannot be expanded with microSD card. No wireless charging.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

The Asus Zenfone 9 is available unlocked from Amazon starting from $705 , for example.
