Show and design

It doesn’t seem like ASUS will keep on with the compact 5.9-inch measurement of the Zenfone 9 and the Zenfone 8 earlier than it. The aforementioned leak revealed that the Zenfone 10 can be fitted with a display screen that’s even greater than the Samsung Galaxy S23.

If the knowledge is appropriate, the cellphone will get a 6.3-inch AMOLED show with a 120Hz refresh fee. There are not any render leaks to indicate what the cellphone will seem like this time round. Nonetheless, ASUS is predicted to stay with just a few staples from earlier generations of Zenfones, equivalent to an IP68 ranking and the three.5mm headphone jack.

Rumored Zenfone 10 specs embody the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 cell platform. ASUS at all times makes use of Qualcomm’s top-tier SoCs on its flagships, so that is no shock.

We hear the cellphone will pack 16GB of RAM and 256/512GB of storage. Final yr’s Zenfone additionally had an 8GB RAM/128GB storage variant, which is also the case this yr. Nonetheless, storage on the Zenfone 9 topped out at 256GB, which suggests the Zenfone 10 is getting a bump up this yr, at the very least on the high finish.

The 3x and 8x digital zoom ranges on the Zenfone 9 actually didn’t reduce the mustard.

Lastly, the leaked data suggests the Zenfone 10 will pack Android 13 at launch. We hope ASUS catches up with different Android manufacturers by providing at the very least three years of software program help to the cellphone. The earlier Zenfones have been marred by simply two years of Android upgrades and a measly two years of safety patches. So a greater replace deal would undoubtedly be probably the most welcoming upgrades ASUS has to supply.

There isn’t a phrase on the Zenfone 10 costs. The Zenfone 9 got here in at $799 for the bottom model and went all the best way as much as $899 for the 16GB RAM variant. We may see ASUS observe an identical pricing technique this yr.
