While not all that small, the 10 smaller than everything that offers its particular combination of flagship chipset, high-end display and good battery.
The Asus Zenfone has a very specific reputation – it’s a small flagship. Well, it’s not that much smaller than a Galaxy S23, but that usually doesn’t stop Zenfone proponents. This week the company unveiled the newest member of the family, though you have to look at it up close to see that it’s not the Zenfone 9.
The Asus Zenfone 10 has the same exterior as its predecessor (except the decals have been toned down). This is not a bad thing, the 9 was a pretty phone. The key dimensions have been preserved – the 5.9” display, the width and the height – but the new model is slightly thicker.
It goes from 9.1mm to 9.4mm (and weight is up 3g to 172g), due to the addition of wireless charging support (15W). This is one of the big upgrades this year. The rest of the battery specs are the same as before – 4,300mAh capacity and 30W wired charging.
Going back to the display for a moment, the 5.9” AMOLED panel still has FHD+ resolution (20:9), but the refresh rate has been boosted to 144Hz. You will only feel the difference in games, however, as the rest of the software still runs at 120Hz.
Asus equipped its petite flagship with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB storage.
