CORRECTION, the phone does not have Wireless Charging, my mistake!
To all of you who manage to get here before I do, you're the real heroes 👊 Very curious what you think to the phone's design? Too plain or do you actually like it?
To see some of the coolest Tech Inventions in the world right now: ruclips.net/video/Ch4RW28A9A8/видео.html
Man I love your videos!!
The phone is too plain
Hey!
Yooo
I am only 10 sec late 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏼
This is the best "Don't judge a book by its cover" phone I've ever seen
Ya tru

Considering almost every person put case on their phone, the phone looking plain shouldn't be a concern.
true
But still most of them are gonna put a transparent case
who cares about the phone looking plain just put a case
@@certifiedgoat7067 bruhh yes you can put a case but you cannot still hide the misaligned camera module and the misaligned punch hole. Still it is an amazing phone for it's price.
@@surgicalpower4601 It at least makes it better tho
it's funny how old features that everyone deemed unnecessary or impractical are the same things that make this phone so great now. phone companies have taken away so many basic features it feels weird to have them now
Yeah, microSDs and replaceable batteries for the Zenfone 9 please ASUS.
@@StefTechSurfer considering the Zenfone 9 has a plastic back, it's probably really easy to open up which would grant easy access to the battery.
Yeah it seems Apple is trying to force us into a future we don't want. I say Apple because Samsung only copies apples bad decisions lol they don't pioneer them
If the phone comes with a cat, that's a massive plus in my book
❤️
Same 😂
True
Who even cares about the phone, gimme the cat
I guess you can say its one plus+?
This is everything a normal person will ask for. No gimmicks, just the good stuff.This is a winner for me🏅
same....dont really need all those monstrous numbers flagships brag about
Was almost going to agree. But it still has a fucking stupid glas back 🤢 . Had 3 phones with and every single has the back panel cracked. Last cracked while in the pocket outside working and a tool banged against it.
All just to please reviewers so they can rave about it
Want Aluminum or plastic back
@@Iceeeen #ihateglassbacks
@@Iceeeen well there has to be some trade off rit... And most of us use a case... So not a big deal for me. But it varies with people. Just looking at the cameras and the other aspects, i cannot complain about this phone.
Agreed. Man, I don't know when everyone became photographers. The specs on the lowest mid-rangers (I know, an oxymoronic expression) will get you a really nice quality photo. That is, if all you're planning to do with it is to post it on social media or keep it in your phone. Because not many people will look if it's incredibly sharp/crisp, bright, dark, clear or anything... for a shot you took on your phone. Now sure, some people want to use it as a legit camera, and I understand why they want and really need the highest specs. But for most people, it doesn't really matter. This is why I usually don't care about the camera review part on a phone review, because I know they're all at the very least decent. Hell, I have 64mp with 4k60 video on a 200$ phone. So yea... This zenfone is still a beast for me
The “that’s what she said” meme has been put to good use in this video and I love it
Yes it's in every video
yep just as i expected.
WHY are you everywhere?
why are you everywhere
Hmm never expect you'll be here aswell
“Performance: midrange”
Headphone jack? Compact size? Clean, minimalist design? It's a YES for me!
Your humour and the music atmosphere is really making this video super cool to watch, good job
Am I the only person who actually likes the somewhat understated look? It's refreshing to see this after seeing phones getting progressively more blingy and flashy over the years.
True. What's even the point of flashy backs when people use custom cases
It's a plus IMO
In a sense, placed around other flashier, shouty/fancier phones with a louder designs, it's less prone to be a target of theft
Phones always been more blingy and flashy since even nokia
Ditto!!
@@randomdrifter trueeeee
This phone made the quote "don't judge a book by its cover" To a whole another level.
Don't judge a phone by its camera module

True
OMG... sounds like EXACTLY my type of phone. I'm buying this because of your review. I can't stand a phone that doesn't comfortably fit into my pocket, and you had me sold at the headphone jack! Camera a bonus. Thank you.
I have been following this channel since 2020 . Must admit very detailed unbiased reviews with a bit of sense of humor too... keep going
Finally a compact phone with beast, I was waiting for a small screen beast to buy, and there it is
But where do I buy?
@@jonnyroy idk

@@aioi4101 With current tall aspect ratio of 19:9 to 21:9, 5.9" is compact. It reminds me of the Samsung Galaxy S10e.

Yep, the xperia 5ii is currently in the lead in this category in my opinion, but ASUS hopping in is very much welcomed. Wish the design was better with a micro SD slot, but that why the xperia 5 ii is better
However, it will not stand out. Many people might look at the design, see that it's a plain affair, and not consider the phone at all. That, is the unfortunate truth.
Love watching your videos. Keep up the great work guys 👌.
A few other things that have changed from phones back in the past: remember when instruments that phones had were advertised..?...things like compass, gyros, some even had altimeters and barometers to help with weather apps and hiking apps! I mean I love Android a lot, I've only ever used android, and had lots of different ones over the years, just, every maker hasn't got standard requirements, it's open source, and although this makes for such amazing tech and software leaps and bounds, it's very exciting, that's also in some small ways that lets it down for some reason or other. Perfect example are phones I've known people to buy, only to discover that although it's got GPS and can use Google maps, it's useless for hiking and geocaching they do as it doesn't have a compass in them! I've got one of the Moto G9 powers, and it doesn't have a compass either...some star gazing apps won't operate and at times Google maps can find me but has no idea which way is north or west or which direction I'm facing, and I'm having to walk around a street in places like London to discover my pointer, is just going to be backwards or I won't know which way an intersection is lol. So as phone companies go running off and creating loads of wonderful and expensive tech like great cameras and better screens with better nits and speed than the one before, the focus of more practical and cost effective improvements fall away. Tech industries only ever just build to what people want and basically just pander to what the general public want and what reviewers and tech folk are pointing out....so pretty much it's customer driven wants and likes. Cameras, screens, materials that don't collect finger marks, water resistance are features that now dominate what comes out of these factories now. Don't get me wrong I think they absolutely remarkable and needed, just, would be nice to be able to purchase devices in the future where not just what the nit strength is but what instruments they packing to so that I'd have a better more informed choice if it would suit me.
Now of course I'm not saying they must pack these with more and more, just simply, not to forget about some of those little features, and to be sure to have spec sheets widely available and where reviewers note also what they don't have. Not a rant 🙈 just a market observation. Thanks again for your videos they awesome
advance congratulations on 10 million subscribers ❤️❤️❤️
Honestly, this is a great phone. The perfect phone for those minimalist or plain people but still want a powerful phone.
I agree. I like a smaller form factor. Like the older iphones (before 6) fit my hands perfectly and were super durable
Like sleeper cars
Subtlety is a trait of wise people.
@@darkvoid_167 HAHA I don't see the analogy but whatever floats your boat ( or drives your car should I say- I'll show myself out lol )
Agree!
dude, your videos are just... incredible!!!
Love all your unboxing videos
This camera setup is literally what people have been asking for: "stop with the useless 2MP macro lenses and invest that money somewhere else on the phone"
True. I also feel that zoom camera on smartphones aren't that necessary. A smartphone zoom camera is never that good and if you want real zoom you'll have to buy a professional camera.
@@ahsan.v8 i don't share this opinion, having a three/five times or 10 times optical zoom is sometimes helpful and Huawei Zoom on the P40 Pro+ or Samsung S21 Ultra is very good but yes *if necessary* I also think the zoom camera could be dropped, however what in my opinion can not be dropped it's the wide angle lens, even if the photos are complete bad quality, you are at least able to do wide-angle shots, and even the worst wide angle camera is there better than using Panorama Mode
@@ahsan.v8 Yeah, good software to actually use a camera's resolution properly will be always more efficient than a zoom camera in terms of cost. Too bad Samsung doesn't have the best camera software, for the midrange devices at least.
@@ahsan.v8 Nah the ideal setup is 3 camera system with a main one, a 2x or 2.5x telephoto , and an ultrawide with autofocus(for macro). I know why you dont want a zoom lens on phone and yeah the 60x 100x zooms are not practical but a smaller zoom lens can click better potraits. The same effect can't be manipulated by zooming the main camera lens 2x digitally. I have personally experienced the 2x lens potraits turn out to be better than 2x digital zoom potrait on main cam. It seems like the 2x lens aperture and field of view play a role in framing the potrait shots.
Geekyranjit will love this comment....😂😂😂
So, basically it is small enough to fit in my pocket, has high end performance and is affordable. So, who the f cares about the look? In my opinion a perfect phone (except the camera which I don’t care about)
I never cared of how my phone looks, but what it could do.
Exactly. People should just buy a decent camera for pictures/videos.
I mean I just stick on a case and u can't even see the bland back
it still probably does better photos than some cheap camera or most phones and i believe most poeple would be more than satisfied with it
if you want pro photos buy camera, so i agree with you... it is perfect phone
You could play great games of among us on it
I really like your videos: very professional. Congratulations :)
Im buying this phone. I've been meaning to get a new one, as I don't like the size of my S21 Ultra, and after getting aruns approval on it , I will buy it tonight. I love the simple design. I'm not a fan of flashy phones. Thanks for the review arun!

This is the most beautiful phone I've seen in a while! The design of this phone is the perfect contrast to the flashy, vulgar and tasteless phones from other brands, which somehow people got used to them being so kitsch. No idiotic notches, no stove like looking cameras, no unnecessary huge sizes, no exterior colors designed to impress children, just a simple, elegant design, with stereo speakers and 3.5mm jack. Superb!
"Elegant" everyone has their opinions I guess

Tbh I love how they squeezed everything in a tiny size. There are people like me who wants smaller phones but also in android. There's also people who doesn't care much about the looks as long as its easy to carry and hold.
Most people go for big phones since there is no other choice, while most women use their men's salary to buy the iPhone which isn't that big.
Even I want smaller phones for a better one-handed experience...

They took the name of “Zen” to a pleasant surprise in design. Its sleek, but not too rounded. Basic, but not too plain. Packed with value, but not too pricy. But even if you wanna spice it up, just customize it with a cool case or some nice themes. Although im kinda stuck with Apple due to account reasons, I probably would have thought to get this phone since its cheaper.
All of my friends have iPhones, so I really wanna stick with them. Otherwise, I’d definitely buy.
Oh and if Dbrand sells skins for the Zenphone 8, you can slap a nice skin on it. So the basic design on the back is a nice touch because if you want a nice design on a phone, you'd be compelled to leave the phone as is leaving it vulnerable to cracks when you drop it which can be mitigated by a skin like from Dbrand or a case.
I’m on apple now but I’m planning to move to Zefone.

Excellent review for my wishlist phone. But you missed out on the audiophile capabilities of the phone. This phone has dedicated dual DAC chips, Cirrus Logic CS35L45 capable of doing high resolution audio at 384Khz 32 bit which is insane. I have LG V20 with single dedicated Sabre DAC chip for audiophile grade audio but this one has a dual DAC chip and is perhaps first dual DAC chip fitted phone. You Will be able to tell better. The only thing it misses is a balanced 2.5mm headphone Jack which could have made it a real unique audiophile phone giving the dedicated modern day DAPs a run for the money.
Excellent review. I would request to also please cover the audio capabilities of the phone you review, from the audiophile angle.

This design is actually perfect for people who want practicality without wanting to show off. I really appreciate that.
Exactly. And even for those who usually use back covers
There's one great point in favor of this phone that you didn't mentioned.
It has a DAC (digital audio converter) that converts your digital HIRES audio service (e.g. Qobuz or Tidal) to analog output: this means that you can hook up your audio jack to a high end headset or to a HIFI system or aux car input.
The DAC manages to read up to 384 kHz / 32-bit PCM files or streams: this means that this little phone can act as a stunning hires audio streamer. THAT'S the reason for still having a jack audio...
A part from this, Great review, as always. :)
hey, thank you for the information, much appreciated.
This information is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a ton! Has this feature (384 kHz / 32-bit via the headphone jack) been tested ? Glad to know that now there is an android phone which can offer this. Planning to listen to lossless and Hi-res audio from Apple Music app on this phone.

Yep, it seems to have been reviewed by the wrong guy actually. I love his videos (at least the ones I watch) but Arun doesn't look like someone who's into minimal designs and finishes. That's evident from the finish of his house's floor to the thumbnails of his videos and texts used on his videos.
Yeah just don't like the chrome around front camera
@thatCapN Crunch I'm sure you can always forgo using the case they provide for something heavily detailed (though probably not like their teen+20-something-oriented ROK phones). Or the Pixel 6 might serve you well. It's ~US $500 and about as loaded at that price point as anything I can think of... I keep looking at the xperia phones... but they're out of my budget for now (still $800 for the 5 III)... I don't like Samsung's photo processing OR Apple's for totally different reasons (Samsung oversaturates and makes photos lose nuanced details in doing so as they process the info; it can make painting-like vivid sunsets, but they don't look authentic). iPhone does that with skin tones and facial features where suddenly people who are neutral tone and not richly pigmented are golden and tan with color bursting out but mostly stays neutral for scenery... my issue is that in trying to look oh so sharp it does this oddball crayon-like edging, especially noticeable when there are shadows behind or under that it tries to lighten when there's any detail and the color is pretty uniform but (take plant leaves) might have some brighter spots from light... iPhone cameras (well, the top iPhones) have a lot of potential but the software screws over details of such weird things that it turns a lot of pics into something that looks like it was in a coloring book, not a real object, because of the fake edges and odd shadow handling/oversharpening things that lack features in the real world view of it. Sony stores the raw files and has solid sensors... I think they use Carl Zeiss optics, too, which my most beloved cell phone of all did and it had pictures better than "top" phones 5 years newer just because of the legit lenses and optical zoom (I miss the sound of the thicker but so worth it camera when it would do its zoom down tiny bit by tiny bit and save it as a full file unlike all of these that compress everything so much).
Best phone I've had for years. Since the s9 for size battery and use. The only thing I don't like is it constantly calls the emergency number in my pocket
Love it, all function over form.
This is literally everything I have wanted in a smartphone 😭🔥🤟🏼
Me too!
Same here too bro! 😲
4:58 Anyone noticed location of weather widget is “Hell “ and funny part is temperature of”Hell “ is 48 c😂
@Random date with cringe content 48°F is freezing, so it's most definitely 48°C.
@@randomduder6692 It's not tho... 48f is around 9c 🤔
Me I was wondering too 🤔
Lol
and apparently there there might be a forest fire there as well
Notification led and 3mm audio jack ...superb
Nice phone but the whole reason I bought the Zenfone 6 is because it had flagship specs and character for cheap. I liked that it was stubborn, keeping the headphone jack, and no notch. And I liked how they decided to put a massive battery in it so you don't need to EVER worry about saving battery. It was a wonderful slightly imperfect brick, big, heavy, purely functional.
Never change arun never change.
I love that you're not overkilling the subtle humourous points
I honestly, I'd rather have a boring looking phone that has excellent performance.
Yeh that's true
Especially since you can just get a cool case.
What if it is a nice looking phone with excellent performance?
@@Riyozsu basically a cherry on top.
I mean we're gonna use a case anyway 🤣🤣
I love your presentation of this phone....
I am so confused why everyone is complaining about the design, and comparing it to the "great" design of previeous zenfones.
I actually think the older zenfones look a bit cheap compared to this very clean and minimalistic design. To me this is one of the best looking phones I have seen recently.
Compared to the other designs this just looks professional and grown up
Yes!!!! ^
