You can't get losseles audio without a headphone jack. Again I use wireless most of the time probably 80% of the time but if I really want it to sound good or if I need zero latency a headphone jack is vital. I really wish RUclipsrs would stop engaging in this corporate apologia. The amount of wireless earbuds that are filling up landfills right now that were never much more than e waste to begin with is a crime. A $20 pair of Moon drop chu sounds 10 times better than AirPods Pro or whatever
Because when you have a headphone jack you can use wireless headphones and wired. You get both! I don't understand people acting like it's one or the other so therefore we don't need a headphone jack? You just have one less option now. You need zero latency for competitive gaming? Too bad.
It's a great price. Just be advised ASUS doesn't do much in the way of updates. So if that's important to you.... But that seems to be largely factored in the price and you'll still get Google Play service updates in perpetuity basically
If I want to upgrade to either Z9 or Z10 as of right now, which one should I buy? I really want a compact phone because of biological RNG reasons (a.k.a small hands) and I'm troubled of which one should I buy. I'm in college and most of the time I am using a phone for social media and playing low end games. I am a fan of the Z9 macro focus and Z10 lacks of it makes me the more curious of which I should pick. And to be honest, I've been using my redmi 9T with the lastest update was last year and I'm not finding any problems as of right now.
I bought the 9 over the 10 last month since the 9 has better cameras. But the 9 is more expensive for me even with the same amount of storage and memory. If battery life and wireless charging is more important. Get the 10. But if you want better cameras and worse battery life and performance although TBF it's already pretty damn good, get the 9. Like the performance on 9 is pretty damn good but obviously 10 will be better. And 10 will be getting security updates for another 3 years but if you stay away from dodgy shit. You should be good with the 9.
Following what Blizz247 said, really the Zenfone 9 and Zenfone 10 will be a sold upgrade over the 9T, no doubt. The macro option is cool, but like most macros, difficult to get that perfect shot. Wireless charging is a plus, but the wired charging is fast enough, just "less convenient" if you really want to call it that. I wouldn't worry about software availability, because we are in a new era where processors are so good it's possible they can get more updates than expected. Google did this with the 765G chip, albeit only by a month or two (can't remember off the top of my head.) I love using the 9 and don't regret not picking up a 10.
I was thinking between s22 , xiaomi 12 or zenfone 9, but I heard s22 weak on battery and screen as well, my options now are xiaomi 12 or zenfone 9, looks like will get xiaomi 12.
@dirli7192 mi 12 was also on my list of choices but was discouraged because some reviews stated heating issues on some units and users reported having greenline on screens (like samsung and apple) ,but its a beautiful phone and the edge screen makes it look more compact. Edit, the mi 12X variant with snapdragon 870 seems like a good alternative tho.
Please suggest me 5.5 to 6.3 inch small phones 5g latest android latest 2024 ...i have small hands..performance needs to top but not for gaming i Dont do gaming....need gorrila glass 5 or any durable protection glass....don't need cameras any high average or very low performance cameras are also suitable ...also 4500 5000mah battry with 33w or 66w charing please needed...also no heating issues please .....under 20000rs to 24000rs. ....please give me 4 5 smartphone choices.... different brands please
Same price, probably the Zenfone 10. They were $300 difference in price a while ago, and the Zenfone 9 was the clear choice. Yeah, I would probably still buy the 9 unless the 10 was under $500
@@RealWorldReviewThanks for the response. I really like compact device. But this one is not available in India. I might try to get zf10 from EU probably when one of my friends come back. Hopefully price will come down

I'm glad I watched this. I have been using my Zenfone 9 as a backup/wifi only phone because of AT&T data issues. I'm downloading the update now🤞
Yes AT&T is always...flawed.
Does AT&T not support this phone? It says it does on their website
I've just bought one, as I fear this could be the last decent compact ever made.
your reviews are the reason why i got the Zenfone 9, bought it Jan. 2024

My exact thoughts. Maybe its because of "innovation" 🤦♂️
Yep i dislike running out of battery on my Bluetooth earphones more than using a wire.
Should I buy this for 280 dollars? Own iPhone but would like to have an android as well and like the compact size.
Go for it at that price

Hi, is the 10 dual-sim and is it e-sim compatible?
Any micro sd slot????
Zenfone 9, xperia 5 iv or s22?
Priorities are Battery,Camera, screen quality and compact size , what's the best choice?

Samsung for some reason doesn't support AptX so wireless headphones are not an option =(
you use your wireless earbuds on a motorbike then ?
If you are an audiophile wireless does not cut it

Xperia 10VI
I wish the power button would more reliable!
