Hi Garrett, I have a question: Does the Zenfone 9 has the feature to capture the screen shot with the full-page at once? I used to have android phones, but they can not make the full screen shot at once. I am using the Apple Mini 13 and it has this SUPER feature, but the phone keep slip out of my hand and I don't like the sharp edges and now the Zenfone 10 came out. I like the small size phones that not slippery and i don't like to use the protection case. The Zenfone 10 seems to have those things that caught my interest. It would be nice to get your answer :). Thank you.
@@Kopatator👍I still miss my G4 & v20 (still works, but turned into a snail 🐌 at the 3 year mark!) so onto a ZTE Axon 10 Pro (only 1 update? WTF 😒), 2020 Moto G power and presently a Google Pixel 6a that I 💕 absolutely Love! Like this soon to be released device as well!
@@duderRechthattwo years is a bummer for sure. Should be 4 updates like everyone else. 4 years for a phone is good enough before it starts getting outdated. But at least you get 3 years of security updates I guess 🤷
I'm glad they still maintains the 5.9 inch size. Would love to get this phone if it ever gets a local release in my region, but already got myself an S23. With phones getting bigger and bigger these days, I think I can accept the 2 years OS update as a compromise.
@@pepe_marroquinhe's saying the battery is better on the Zen10. But my gripe with the Zen is that it's still using old tech for the usb port - only 2.0 instead of 3.2! And no sd card slot like the Sony 1 V. But it does have the new WiFi 7 that nobody mentions. How many phones have that?! And loads of RAM!!
I'm only disappointed by the lack of updates, I really hope the custom ROM community ends up liking these compact zenfones so that we can keep them around for longer! Great video as always, I was waiting for your review ;)

I have the Asus Zenfone 9 for about 5 months now and I love it very much. Everything about it ia excellent. My only gripe is probably the software experience. It needs more polish.
In the past not having the security stay updated for more than two years was a deal breaker for me with the zenphones. It seems I've got no excuse now aside from the price to take the plunge now but I think it's great to support a company providing a flagship with the features many of us can only find in various budget phones.
@@evgenidimitrov2639 all you sais works for any major phone, "punch hole" "dual camera" some even have half of the phone as the camera...., "sd card slot" nearly no one has one, "slow charging" look at apple/google/samsung with even slower charging
@@evgenidimitrov26391080P and hole punch cam are literally industry standard right now. Also, Xiaomi doesn't sell phones in the U.S., nor do several other Chinese brands, so for me this is actually the only option that fits my wants and needs to replace my Pixel 4a
Almost bought the 9 last year. At the last minute changed to the Pixel. It could have been perfect, but can't forgive the camera quality, that your review just confirmed.
They simply cannot fit a larger camera sensor in there, which is why I guess they've kept the same one, as they're refusing to compromise on the size - which is a good thing I think! But, I did exactly the same last year and went Pixel....if only Google made a Pixel mini!!
@@Thomas-wx7uf The trouble with gcam ports is that there is always a delay between pressing the shutter and it actually capturing the image (with the HDR stacking). At least as far as I am aware/have tried. The process is basically instant on a pixel or iPhone.
If I hadn't bought an S23 Ultra in February, I would have bought the Asus Zenfone 10 right away. The S23 Ultra is a super cool device but then too big. But since I'm not someone who constantly changes devices, I'll be using the S23U for a few years now. My next device will definitely be a Zenfone 12 or 13. I hope that this series of devices will still be around in 2-3 years.
I'm so jealous you're in Europe. I'm waiting for this bad boy to release in the US but that won't be until end of Q3. Oh well, gotta be patient until then. I have the Z9 and this is so anticipated. Love what they improved and kept (the size). The only thing I wish they had changed is the battery size. I read rumors of a 5000mah battery and coupled with the SD 8gen2, the battery life would've been amazing. But 4300mah is good too. Also, that bottom bezel definitely looks thicker than I saw on the renders but still excited to pick this up. Hope they have the wireless buds preorder bonus like they did with the Z9!
Looks decent and love stock Android being selectable plus the overall size. Hopefully they'll fix the camera issues quickly. Another year of OS and security updates wouldn't go amiss. Nice to have a case included, but I usually buy Spiegen anyway
@@mhl1403 From the early reviews, it would appear not. But I'm hoping it will be good _enough_. Maybe someone will sort a GCam mod for it at some point. Bezels aren't quite as uniform as on the Pixel 5 either.
@@mhl1403I also had a pixel 5 then replaced it with a Zenfone 9 almost 3 months ago and photos cannot compare to Pixel. They are not bad but nothing special compared to the pixel which takes always great shots. But Zenfone videos are better in my opinion, much smoother and much more stabilized.
@@Shouldhavenotshouldof Zenfone is narrower so it's easier to hold it with one hand, but is also heavier than Pixel 5. Overall I prefer the ZF form factor but I also miss the thinness and lightness of P5, not to talk about the corners optimization.
Watching this on my Zenfone 9. Not that big of an upgrade so I'm so glad I bought it a year ago, but considering the Zenfone 9 is by far the best "allrounder" phone on the market, the zen 10 is still gonna be the best phone on the market :D
@@svilenzlatanov6170 The decision for me was S22 vs Zenfone 9 so it was incredibly easy for me (S22 in Europe didn't even have the Snapdragon and terrible battery life). But even today it would be a no-brainer. I hate the One-UI or how they are calling it now, I don't like display fingerprintsensors (you could say I hate them :D), I want the bigger battery and I truly want a headphone jack.
Battery life is paramount for me, and having the headphone jack and IP68 rating is just awesome too. My phones get replaced every 3-4 years so that doesn't bother me, and the cameras are the least important feature of a phone for me.
But you have some great cameras with this phone. Can't go wrong with it. I agree 3 years then upgrading to a newer phone. So the 2 years of OS updates isn't a deal breaker for me either.
Just got the s23+. Wanted the s23 because the size is really nice but got the plus for more battery. The Zenfone lineup looks really nice especially considering it having a headphone jack as well.
For around 700 green ones this is one delightfully loaded package. From the packaging to the size to the reactions to being fingered I would say this is one of the best phones of the year. A flagship with a headphone jack? This phone is the shishhhhh!👌👌👌👌👌👌
I loved the ZenFone 9, and I adored this ZenFone 10. I think yes, it is an all rounder compact flagship King 👑 Happy this time they added wireless charging, a more efficient battery life due to a more efficient chipset, the top notch SD 8Gen2, so cool 😎 And yay they got the 512 GB storage on the 16 GB Ram, owesome specs providing top tear seamless performance! With the Gimbal v.2, I would feel like a pro shooting a video footage while moving around! Happy with the side selfie camera punch, in my opinion a better position for watching a full screen video. I see it as more practical than just having the symmetrical look of a centered selfie camera punch. I am also a big fan of the practical flat display! Doesn't matter the LPTO 2, as logically it might consume more battery for constantly switching back and forth between the different frequencies Hz. The overall compact size is a breaze nowadays! And the headphone jack, it's ever appreciated 😊 You get the charger, and the USB-C to USB-C in the box. You also get a protective case. I am hoping that the Software Experience and the Camera department will be up to my expectations! To wrap up, I think it's the perfect phone for me, would keep it at least for 4 years and might go even beyond 🎉 Love this ASUS ZenFone 10, already pre-ordered the Black 16/512 variant, and can't wait to receive it! Always love your reviews and like the idea of photographing your sweet daughter along ❤
i hope they would really make a compact but more affordable mid range line up. 300-400 dollars, using snapd 7 series, one good cam, no wireless charger. That's enough for my necessities.
Pity they downgraded the camera sensors so much compared to the 9. Especially dropping AF on the front and ultra wide sensors. Those are kinda big nerfs.
I got stuck with the Zenfone 8 when it kept unlocking in my pocket, as Asus only warranty cover software bugs for 14 days after purchase. I gave them a second chance with Zenfone 9 but it misbehaved on day 13 so I had no choice but to return it. Such a shame their position on software/firmware ineptitude is to walk away after 14 days, as the hardware is lovely. I will not risk another Asus device until they change their stance.
I was watching the event now!!!😅 thanks for the information about software updates as asus didn't say anything at the event; it's still bad to be two but at least it's four security.
2:09 You can bang on about the polycarbonate back & the improved battery life for as long as you like, but we all know it's going to be the first to die when sent on an away mission...
I bought my ZenFone 8, brand new at like £450. Its easily the worst phone I've ever used. The case was just flimsy, slippery dog crap with a lip opening encouraging screen breakage at volume keys. The screen lock has NEVER, NEVER!!! worked. It's screen burned in after a year. Wi-fi and LTE, absolutely awful from day one. It's gestures are also limited. Fingerprint scanner WON'T work with a glass protector. It's just infuriating to use. Please be wary, unless they solved some serious gremlins. But awesome video, you do kinda sell it honestly! Thanks
As a compact phone fan, this seems almost perfect for me. If it only had an expandable storage via micro SD card, it could've been perfect. The camera is a bit meh, but dependable enough. The only phone that maybe will get the crown for me is the Xperia 5 V, can't wait for is reveal! Thanks again uncle spurt for this review, been waiting for this one for some time!🎉
@@curon- my Google cloud account is full and don't want to pay monthly. Backing up to a hard drive for the last 2 years and it's frustrating. If you have any advice, I'd like to hear ☺️
@@johnburrows3385hat is true. While ZF10 is notizeably narrower, it is not hugely smaller like iPhone minis. S23 gets double the Android updates and has better cameras so it is much better package if you don't need 3.5mm, and is even slightly cheaper already.
Certainly wireless charging wasn't a priority of mine, however, we're so close to having the perfect small phone! LTPO display, and bringing back the autofocus on the cameras, and the wish is complete! 👐👐👐
I was waiting for this!!! 🤩 Totally smashing the piggy bank this time.. Sadly, they should have gone for the LTPO display instead, first because it'll further improve the battery life, second, because I don't think many people will play a 144hz game on such a tiny screen. Well maybe a controller like the Backbone, but there isn't enough game that support that refresh rate either.
I don't see how the price for Z10 is justifies over 9. I'm really happy with 9 and might only switch to Nothing 2 for the fun of the community if it turns out well.
@@Ssssyyyyyyyyyy Well as you said, it is for the fun of the community, since it might be about the same price tier. I'm waiting for the full review of the Phone (2) but in terms of specs and size my preference goes to the Z10.
Thank god, something to replace my pixel 4a. Although this doesn't seem to be quiet as palm-able 4a it is close enough. It'll be cool to have a compact flagship.
Been using the Zenfone 8 as my daily for about a year now. No major complaints other than the disappointing battery health, perhaps due to inefficient charging circuitry my battery capacity has dropped to 70% of stock in one years time. Having to continously charge this phone now adays.
Everyone worries about the updates, while most people don't keep a phone more than a couple years anyway. I'm buying one. I'm not concerned about the updates. 2 is fine with me
I'm glad that the Zen Phone is doing better than One Plus and Nothing's product launches, the interest for it is so much stronger because the phone itself is actually more interesting. Idk why phone companies are still trying to push no headphone jack anymore now that TWS is mainstream. They could bring back the headphones jack like Sony & Asus and get more phone sales now than they've been dealing with their shrinking markets.
Better with S23 one ui ..Zen camera processor takes double looking pictures when items move , skin tones make you look zombie dead. S23 unbeatable right now all departments
The major selling point to me is software support. That's where my money goes. I like this Asus phone, but 2 years support is a no go for me...at least the double. It's a shame though, looks like a really nice phone.
Literally stuck between the Xperia 5 V and this for that headphone jack. Asking for a beastly sized smartphone that is waterproof is apparently too much to ask of this world.
Man I like that Red color and the 5.9 inch compact size! Damn I want the Red one now. I had a Zenfone I think 6 or 7 back when it had the mechanical flip camera and I loved that phone. Now this Red model will stay on my mind! Lol. I bet it's so much easier to handle day to day. This maybe my next phone and especially in Red. Great review! Cheers
I love this phone!! Had for 3 months... just a dream...so quick, feels like butter to use. Camera quality has improved( update possibly)...video is on par with iPhone 15pro at less than half the price. And the size is just spot on... battery is epic. Then...they don't make a zenphone 11...sigh😢
I had and loved the Zenfone 8, skipped the ZF9, now I have an S23 Ultra which I just love - except its enormous dimensions, but hey, buy pants with deeper pockets! ;))
As they are maintaining the 5.9-inch, I would love a device of 6.3-4 inches with a big 5000mAh battery, a little more performance, and a better camera.
Have been a zenfone user starting from zenfone 4 because of its excellent price-performance ratio and user-friendly control, but getting rid of the sd card slot and downgrading the camera really are the deal-breakers for me to consider sony as my next upgrade now.
Why have I been sleeping on this channel? This was easily the best Zenfone 10 review so far

Them Makima wallpapers. Woof woof.
Absolutely loved the size. I would buy it if it had more years of OS updates.
Hard to buy this over the S23 ,especially as the Samsung can be had at a significant discount .
@@johnburrows3385hat is true. While ZF10 is notizeably narrower, it is not hugely smaller like iPhone minis. S23 gets double the Android updates and has better cameras so it is much better package if you don't need 3.5mm, and is even slightly cheaper already.
@@johnburrows3385the 512gb S23 is £960 with ear buds. How much is the Zenfone10 with 512gb?
It's so tiny and light, I can't actually feel it
- That's what she said
PS - I'm glad to see your review soon after the launch event. Kudos!
What was she holding? The phone or ? haha
STG I am going to start posting this on every video, where do you get your wallpapers?!?!?!?! 🤣
Certainly wireless charging wasn't a priority of mine, however, we're so close to having the perfect small phone! LTPO display, and bringing back the autofocus on the cameras, and the wish is complete! 👐👐👐
I was waiting for this!!! 🤩 Totally smashing the piggy bank this time.. Sadly, they should have gone for the LTPO display instead, first because it'll further improve the battery life, second, because I don't think many people will play a 144hz game on such a tiny screen. Well maybe a controller like the Backbone, but there isn't enough game that support that refresh rate either.
I don't see how the price for Z10 is justifies over 9. I'm really happy with 9 and might only switch to Nothing 2 for the fun of the community if it turns out well.
@@Ssssyyyyyyyyyy Well as you said, it is for the fun of the community, since it might be about the same price tier. I'm waiting for the full review of the Phone (2) but in terms of specs and size my preference goes to the Z10.
Smart looking phone!
So many opportunities for "that's what she/they/he said'. Top reviews as ever. Cheers
I've been sticking with my Zenfone 8 for this whole time, didn't go for Zenfone 9, but this Zenfone 10 looks appealing for an upgrade
Thank god, something to replace my pixel 4a. Although this doesn't seem to be quiet as palm-able 4a it is close enough. It'll be cool to have a compact flagship.
Been using the Zenfone 8 as my daily for about a year now. No major complaints other than the disappointing battery health, perhaps due to inefficient charging circuitry my battery capacity has dropped to 70% of stock in one years time. Having to continously charge this phone now adays.
I love everything except that thick bezel... I think that is quite hard to accept for a flagship in 2023.
Ive never bought one due to no wireless charging, until now, have one on order. Not bottered about OS updates, 5 years security is fine.
Everyone worries about the updates, while most people don't keep a phone more than a couple years anyway. I'm buying one. I'm not concerned about the updates. 2 is fine with me
Me use Asus zenfone 3 laser 5 year and Asus zenfone 2 intel 5 year🥰
My fav brand😍
Makima again, niceeee😍😍
Always brings a smile to my face just to listen to you. Give it a thumbs up before i even watch, you know its going to be great!
After watching your 9 review, I really wanted a 10 but bought the s23 as I needed a phone2 months back.
I got myself an s20 FE last year but I am very tempted. I'll wait until it's launched in India
I'm glad that the Zen Phone is doing better than One Plus and Nothing's product launches, the interest for it is so much stronger because the phone itself is actually more interesting. Idk why phone companies are still trying to push no headphone jack anymore now that TWS is mainstream. They could bring back the headphones jack like Sony & Asus and get more phone sales now than they've been dealing with their shrinking markets.
Better with S23 one ui ..Zen camera processor takes double looking pictures when items move , skin tones make you look zombie dead. S23 unbeatable right now all departments
Yes! Finally a smartphone I can get onboard with in 2023.
The major selling point to me is software support. That's where my money goes. I like this Asus phone, but 2 years support is a no go for me...at least the double. It's a shame though, looks like a really nice phone.
If you hold on to your phone more than 2 years, then ok.
But if you're switching phones on every 2 years, why bother?
Expandable storage and it will be perfect
Xperia 5 V. Wait for that compact beast
❤ compact design 512g storage with headphones Jack wow ❤ i buy this one.
Headphone jack! ❤
Literally stuck between the Xperia 5 V and this for that headphone jack.
Asking for a beastly sized smartphone that is waterproof is apparently too much to ask of this world.
Man I like that Red color and the 5.9 inch compact size! Damn I want the Red one now. I had a Zenfone I think 6 or 7 back when it had the mechanical flip camera and I loved that phone. Now this Red model will stay on my mind! Lol. I bet it's so much easier to handle day to day. This maybe my next phone and especially in Red. Great review!
Cheers
White green red are meant for girls, whereas black and blue for men 🤓
Unboxing and a cat picture - definitely working on the SEO there!
This is going to be my next phone 🤳📱
Those bezels... It's got similar size to S23 because of that.
This humor is appreciated. always.
Video is back... Yay
Thanks
Watching from my 6.1 inches S23 😁
I love this phone!!
Had for 3 months... just a dream...so quick, feels like butter to use.
Camera quality has improved( update possibly)...video is on par with iPhone 15pro at less than half the price.
And the size is just spot on... battery is epic.
Then...they don't make a zenphone 11...sigh😢
The camera’s improved ? Are photos not as over sharpened?
Please provide the makima wallpaper link
I had and loved the Zenfone 8, skipped the ZF9, now I have an S23 Ultra which I just love - except its enormous dimensions, but hey, buy pants with deeper pockets! ;))
Fekkin love your reviews. Thanks for this, the Zenfone 10 is next on my list!
if the 11 adds sd card slot and bigger camera sensor i'll buy it...
A very awesome good looking device! But too expensive!
As they are maintaining the 5.9-inch, I would love a device of 6.3-4 inches with a big 5000mAh battery, a little more performance, and a better camera.
Looks pretty 😍
ASUS take my money!!!!!
Fantastic, I will buy the 9 however
Very tempting, but I think I'm gonna wait for Xperia 5 V.
Can't wait for that compact beast to come out with snapdragon 8 gen 2!
Legend knows its reuploaded
Wat
I think your phone notification says its re uploaded not legends 😂😂🔔
@@jijojoset780 that's what i said 🌝
Are you saying that it's similar to Zenfone 9?
I will go with S23
I'll stick with my Zenfone 8.
Better DAC
Better speakers
LED notification
FM radio
Autofocus
Non-plastic back
I also like the in-screen optical reader
I feel like they all agreed to stop using notification lights so that you check your phone more and get addicted. I miss having notifying leds
Nice review, Good job!! But we need a s23 vs zenfone 10 review ASAP!!
Who is we?
My Zenfone 5z is going to be 5-year old this Oct 2023...! ❤
No video out over usb-c, NO SALE
The asymmetrical selfie shooter is psychopath one
Best compact phone 😁
Does it have a LED light indicator like in the Zenfone 8?
Reupload, I literally watchet this 3 or 4 hours before this exact video came out. XD
It should have a micro sd card expansion slot.
Have been a zenfone user starting from zenfone 4 because of its excellent price-performance ratio and user-friendly control, but getting rid of the sd card slot and downgrading the camera really are the deal-breakers for me to consider sony as my next upgrade now.
My favorite red color too❤
