144hz screen and it still comes with a headphone jack?! Asus is killing it 👍
But you'll still get the iPhone
@@ghsense2626i like my mod apks

@@ghsense2626 nope, my last iphone was the iphone 5. Android all the way 🙌
@@ghsense2626Built in screen translation function. No need to screenshot my phone screen for some difficult non-english words.
That charger shot. Haha love it.
That was crazy smooth
I'm imagining he had to yank that charger and played it in reverse. Poor charger 😐
that was so cool
So random 😅
How to make that?
Dave, just let Asus know to not lose the headphone jack!
For me, the lack of headphone jack has been a deal breaker for so many phones for me. I'mma buy the zenphone next year when I'm hopefully able to afford it. Really hoping they still have the headphone jack by then
i miss storage slots
Laughs in sony xperia with headphone jack, sd slot and NOTIFICATION LED
@@nilesh_jeetun1677just overprice
@@nilesh_jeetun1677 As an Xperia 1 V owner, the zenfone is better for the price. Also notification led is no longer lol.
Wouldn't buy q phone without sd or headphone Jack
Asus is doing is so many things right with their laptops, phones and other gaming devices. They also hear what the client wants. I hope they keep it up.
Not when it comes to repairs. Watch Loius Rossmans video pls.
@@dupasraja9885 Hmm that's good that people raised this issue and I bet they will focus on it now. That was probably their Achilles heel for a while. I am sure now they will be forced to address and even excel at it
I have absolutely loved my Zenfone 9 over the last year. I'm glad to see Asus sticking with the over-specc'd, small phone formula, especially after rumors earlier this year of an increased screen size for the 10.
A lot of complaints i've seen about the zenphone is a complete lack of updates. Has that been your experience?
@@Tb0n3been wondering the same thing
@@Tb0n3no. Spring this year had to wait 2 months or so but otherwise been a pretty steady cadence
Note that I am rooted and always patch via the full download online, not the OTAs
@@tarfeef_4268 Sounds very similar to my Pixel experience.
the dimension of zenfone 10 is taller ,thicker and heavier than s23 while the screen is smaller. idk why this phone gets touted as compact phone so much often than S23 . the only thing small here is the screen (but again the dimension of the whole phone is a little bigger than s23)
Their update cycle is INSANE for what they're offering, should've got 4 years or at least 3 by now, shame bc it's an amazing device
Laughs in using android 10 since 2020
@unholydonuts- as someone who works in IPSec, the fact that the device will no longer receive Android security updates past the 2-year mark will ABSOLUTELY make this device worthless for business and/or security-concious users.
ASUS fucking sucks when it comes to providing software updates to their devices. It's one of the only downsides to this Zenfone 10. This should should have at LEAST included 4-years of updates.
@@griffonboiif it works it works 😄
We need a behind-the-scenes video on how you made that charger shot.
Played in reverse
Pulled the cord, played in reverse
I love the Zenphone 9. I can't go back to large phones now.
Didn't even know this was dropping. Really could use some devices like this in the mid range.
yeah
Isn't ZenFone their flagship tier?
@@shahtayyib Yup, i mean that the mid range needs such devices, not that this device is midrange.
800 dollars midrange???
@@fw2074get context right calm down, he WISHED there's a mid tier variant of this size*
Wish more companies would make phones like this. Flagship specs in a compact form factor. If they had 3 years OS updates, this would be a no brainer.
@SunstreaKerPriME - we should all collectively be upset with anything less than 6-years of software updates. There's absolutely no reason a flagship device these days cannot receive 6-years of software updates. At a minimum, 4-years of software updates, and an additional 2-years of security updates.

I've noticed there is a comedic side to Dave that has been blossoming over the past couple of uploads, and I like it!
Finally! I was really interested in the Zenfone 9, but as I didn't discover it until about 7-8 months after it's launch date, I figured it'd be better to wait for the 10. My old S9+ is really starting to show its age these days, lol.
Haha I also have a S9 and I was waiting for this phone to be release to see if I'm going to upgrade. Still having headphone jack, sd card slot and wireless charger on the S9 is great!
That said, seeing all these zenfone10 reviews today, I learned about the Sony xperia 5 IV which is similar to the zenfone 10 BUT it has sd card slot AND esim compatibility. I just want to see how much better the new Snapdragon 2 is on the zenfone to close the deal for me. I recommend you checking as well
@@danielcbraga Hey, I really appreciate that - I'll definitely check it out :)
gosh man, i love asus' design on these newer phones, small, flat screen, headphone jack, everything you could want. That red and green color are so sick lookin
Would be perfect with microSD card slot.
Love the charlie cameo there.
I hope this phone gets released officially in my country.
I’m one of those guys who can’t move on from one hand phone.
I have said this many times before, and I'm gonna say it again. Phone with the size of 5.8" to 6.1" are GOLDEN (assuming thin bezel so I use screen size as an implication for overall size). It fits in your hand, your pocket, and you can easily use with 1 hand. That's how phones are by definition. Anything bigger than that, you'll actually have a "mini" tab, or a multitasking device instead of a true PHONE. I don't mind them making thick small phones to have some extra battery life. It is just the aesthetic and marketing competition that promote the idea that smartphones are an elegant accessory that has to be elegant in design. All thin and shinny. But I think for the majority of users, we care for the practicality of it more. Just make them easy to hold, durable and long lasting to use, and we will appreciate them.
I'm still rocking a zenfone 8! Still holds up to this day. Glad to see Asus continuing with this line.
Zenfone 8 is the real king 👑.
9 and 10 are kind of weird and knock offs with that side fingerprint scanner shit 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Side fingerprint scanner on a flagship??? Is Asus kidding the whole phone world???
@@srinivasteki9458 i hate the optical fingerprint scanner on my zenfone 8. It's a known issue, works like 2 times out of 10. I would have preferred a physical fingerprint sensor.
Nice phone and good review. Enjoy the extra touches on the vid. The charger bit, dropping the phone, etc. Taken with the enhanced videography takes already great videos and adds a bit of fun and pop. Thank you for it.
Those colors are so nice. And an aux port wow, and compact size might be my next phone
1:44 woooooo yeah baby that’s what I’ve been waiting for that’s what it’s all about. Can’t wait for a collab
Yes! I wanted the 9 so bad so I’m glad this is launching. I’m gonna get it. 😎
Most underrated phone and it always has been! My Zenfone 6 works perfectly to this day, love the flip camera, its just built like a damn tank👌🏻
I'm still using Zenfone max pro M1. Never had any issues till date! Just the camera wasn't too good for which I installed GCam and it has been working great👌
Wished ASUS would go back to the office, and refresh it's lineup. Get rid of all these thousands of variants. Just make three phones, sell them internationally, keep it simple.
ASUS Vivophone: $500, small flagship
ASUS ZenFlip: $700, medium flagship

@@AtPeacePiece The Motorola Z3 play :)
Used the 9, so far reliable and no issue whatsoever, not even a hiccup. loving my zenfone 9
Does it have heating issues given the small form factor
@@beasty007 so far i don't have that issue, or maybe because i rarely play games on my zenfone, however, i play fortnite once and it was smooth and only warm to the touch
@@andrewaani9530 they have done a good job in managing the the thermals cuz usually this isn't the case with 8 gen 1 soc powered phones and that too this small
Love these 5ish minute videos. My attention span can’t take much more than that.
I have been rocking an Asus Zenfone 6 (The one with the first crazy flip camera!) pretty much ever since it launched! It's starting to show its age and the charging port is starting to cause trouble, but funnily enough, the flip camera still operates :D
Needless to say, I have placed my pre order for the Zenfone 10! Can't wait to upgrade!
This phone is great, its just the 2 years of software updates like what he says at the end. I have a one plus 9 pro and want to upgrade but this would be something I'd look at along side the pixel tbh
You only have 1 years left since this phone come with android 13 and Google will be released android 14 in the next few months, so next year will be last for Zenfone 10 to get new OS update to android 15
Yes Pixel comes with 3 years but at least with my Pixel 5 (last Pixel without Tensor) I don't get many new features anymore. Mostly AI stuff is missing from the updates which is partly fine but quite a bummer if you care about stuff like this. Some other companies are doing this as well of course
Non tech enthusiasts don't care about feature updates. My 2017 phone only recently got Android 10 and then updates stopped coming. I rarely use the new features and I doubt I will feel missed out on newer ones I won't get.
@@lars2894it's not only about features but there are many other things e.g. privacy, security, bugs and performance improvement extra
Another plus for this phone that it still (presumably) has 32-bit support unlike the Pixel so you can still play Flappy Bird and use all those old apps.
I love the smaller size.. Really can't wait and hope more phones move in this direction ❤
This might sound like I'm just hyping it up, but Amazon's *GPT44X* is truly a game changer. You won't believe the impact it'll have on our lives once you fully understand it. Don't miss out on this revolution!
3:16 I already bought the Zenfone 9 and I will buy this as well
Didn't realize that this was coming out! Good coverage of this phone and them still keeping in line with producing a mostly solid "smaller" sized one which isn't really being made by many manufacturers nowadays with great specs (I'd say 5.9 inches was at one point in the past not really viewed as being that small, but given the sizes of flagship phones nowadays it makes sense).
I am personally disappointed though with Asus also unfortunately committing to just two years' worth of major Android version updates, and also their lack of proper availability in some countries it seems (in this case here in PH, it's not easy to find a store, even from Asus themselves, that offers this phone somehow when I was interested in their previous Zenfone 9). Had this been pre-pandemic I probably wouldn't have minded as much, but if even the likes of Oppo are claiming that this 2023 that they'll offer 4 years of major updates for their customized versions of Android, and Samsung's newer midrange phones are to be on track to have four major Android version updates (compared to three), there's less of an excuse for Asus to not do the same.
2 inches is already massive, everything beyond is just too much..... right??
yes, this is a deal breaker for me too, I default to Pixel or Galaxy because of their update policies.
Simple design, great performance, and still including essential features and accessories. Just keep on doing what you're doing, Asus
3:00 I can't think of a better way to show off the power button camera mode but you nailed it 🤣
Still using Zenfone 8 here and I can proudly say this was my best phone buy after the Pixel 4a a few years ago. Long live the small phones!
The Pixel 4A is losing its security update this August. I am looking for a replacement. Do you think that the Zenfone 10 is better than the Pixel 4A?
@@no-handles Switching from Google to Asus felt like the Asus had more "quality of life" features. Such as battery management, general performance adjustability of the phone. While Google is the more "smart" smartphone. Better? Not sure, but I think the Zenfone 9 and 10 would suit me better than Pixel 4a, or 5. I don't really like the new ones with the Tensor chips. If you liked the 4a but hated the 6 onwards, you'd probably like the Zenfones
@@amrazing33 thanks for your reply!
@@no-handles No worries, mate
0:23 Legends says he nailed it at first try.
Had my Pixel 5 for the last 3-ish years, I've been thinking about upgrading and wasn't sure to what, but this looks very compelling!
3:02 nice Collab with linus
Software support man, that's an important part for me tbh. As the product ages and new technologies gets integrated it's the software that would still make this device relevant.
This is exactly why I had to ignore so many good devices. People say install custom ROMs but it doesn't satisfy me that much.
Embarrassing for a flagship these days to get 2 major updates.
I wish Asus releases this in India as well. Would love to get my hands on one! Excellent video as usual, Dave!
I really miss the battery care software on my Zenfone 5 (2018), which I think still the best battery management solution of any brand. Even Apple and Samsung still lack robustness.
I don’t see any noticeable battery health degradation on my Zenfone during over 2 years of usage as my daily driver back then.
I’d like to keep using Zenfones had they got much better update support. Cause that very same Zenfone 5 only got 1 version update and then they stopped the support 🙁
I agree with you, I am also using Zenfone 5z for 5 years and battery care is insane with adaptive charge technology. We only need an update, and here it is with Zenfone 10. I will definetely buy it.
I'm commited to my Pixel 7 but when it breaks and if Asus is releasing this line with the headphone jack and all then I might consider it. Great review Dave!
Really wanted the zenfone 9 but was lacking wireless charging. I might be getting this one. Really like small phones
Wireless is pointless
@@Striker50_ totally it is. but I cant live without it 😅
@@kofei How so?
Dave is just too funny. And does amazing reviews as well. What a guy.
And there's MrWhoseTheBoss, who tried his best to deteriorate Asus Zenfone 10 on his review, but we're grateful to have some genuine and unbiased reviewers like Dave. Just keep it up!
WOW. Am amazed with your review. So concise yet very detailed.❤
I love mid-sized phones, and this is best buy considering the features they provide.
Loving what ASUS are doing with the Zenfone's! I had an s10e. I feel like they looked at that phone, and made it better.
me too!! Though because of the thickness it makes the zenfone 10 about 20% more volume. But I am considering it. though the S10e I have still works really well.
So many little funny things in this video just makes you love this channel even more
From Xiaomi 12 I was going to buy a S23, but now I'm leaning towards Zenfone 10 because of that 3.5mm jack and great battery. It's a great phone!
Go for zenfone 10, I have s23 and I don't recommend it
@@lostinreverie2183 care to explain?
What's wrong with xiaomi 12?
Thanks Dave! If I didn't love my Pixel 7 so much (and it worked on "my" carrier), I would be a Zenfone guy! 😎✌️
Kudos to Asus for keeping the small flagship alive, plus the headphone jack. However the bezels should be reduced for a 2023 flagship 😅
This isn't their flagship. This is their mid-range. Their flagship is the rog phone
I blows my mind that anyone cares about bezels.
@@VideoHeadIIPeople will find the littlest things to criticize.
@@VideoHeadII im quite the opposite. i don't mind a bit larger bezels if it means no hole punch/notch. this bezel-less "feature" subjectively looks better to people, and i will never understand it. it still annoys me that all the companies are rolling out with hole punch cameras. that and accidentally swiping things on the sides because of the tiny bezels. im still using my one plus 7 pro, one of the rare bezel-less phones without a notch/hole punch. curved screen with thin bezels makes it annoying to use single handed though, even with a case. i still get accidental swipes on the curved part even after 3.5 years of owning the phone XD just because bezel-less displays look good from far, they are far from good
@@KumaMech the last sentence 😂😂😂👌
This guy does "the best" tech reviews... Love to watch with no intention to buy 😂
I’m still rocking Pixel 5 and these Zen phones almost remind me of the form factor and what I would speculate the feel to be. I wonder if it’s any better.
Also on Pixel 5, will be riding it out until the end of software support at least. This phone seems like the closest modern replacement
OnePlus N30 is a good option too but Zenphone is better overall
My biggest problem with the Zenfones was always the price.
I always feel like I can get something much better for 6 to 7 hundred dollars
I feel like that's harder to justify nowadays however. The only thing competition in that small phone market is like the iPhone mini's, some Samsung devices. But the featureset difference between those like "mid-range" to flagship prices is incredibly high.
software support is unreliable as well
@@MrInstinctGamer see thats the thing. the phone is 5.9 inches and by todays standards thats small yeah?. so how about a 6 inch phone or 6.1 like the s10. those arent big either. so many good 6.1 inch flagships
Where in the world can you find a phone with a SD 8 gen 2 processor for 700$??
Damn, this is Dave3D!
I love your clean straight up reviews. Please live long. Also wouldn't mind videos upto 10 mins by you. The more the merrier
The lack of wireless charging was a bit of deal breaker (for me) in the 9, so this is now worthy of consideration. Still wish it was a teensy bit smaller, but this seems about as small as we're likely to get in the current market
Absolutely. Maybe pixel 8a after the 8 releases will be our pixel 5 refresh.
In the meantime Zenfone 10 will rule
@@Bazical Meanwhile im still over here with my Pixel 3 lol. But hey, this Zenphone 10 is actually the same dimensions as my Pixel 3 so im strongly considering it. The Pixel 8 is about 2mm larger than the 3 so I was waiting for that...but we'll see what happens.
I may trade my flip4 for this- still a small factor and without the worry of screen cracking every time I open it
Alright, I just got done with my trip in Hong Kong, would've loved that 3 shot burst feature on my OP7 Plus.
As an iPhone XS user I‘m actually tempted to go for the Zenphone as my next phone. The size alone makes it tempting for me. Been an Android user til 2018. this might be the time
Is this removable back? Removable battery? That will be amazing!!
High refresh rate is always a good idea, regardless of the screen size. Just navigating through apps becomes a pleasure.
Headphone Jack 😍🤩... Missed you buddy ❤
i'm glad asus is keeping last year's design and improving over it, most android manufactures like to change design of flagships every year reducing resources for other improvements
Was considering this device, but the network compatibility issues the Zenfone 9 seemed to have kind of worries me.
What issues? I've had a zenfone 9 since release and haven't had any issues?
can you elaborate on this? also considering this device. thanks
@@Chris92881t will not work on Verizon, which is famously controlling when it comes to these. The Zenfone 9 worked best on TMo but even then was not certified by them, was missing some bands, and to my knowledge never got working VoWiFi support. Hopefully Asus worked with them on this but none of the reviewers seem to care enough to check.
This phone would have been perfect if not for the short software support timeline... It's such a critical part of phone longevity.
Exactly, when I buy a phone I plan on using it ATLEAST 5 years, and I usually buy it used.
@@lavahawk Yeah. I am on the same boat when it comes to using phones for a long time. Work pretty much forces me to have a secure phone though, so running with outdated patches isn't an option. Waiting for Fairphone 5 right now to hopefully replace my current 5 year old phone.
I really wanted to get the Zenphone 9 last year, but i wouldnt have been able to stay on my family Verizon plan, I really hope they increased the carrier support. I ended up picking the Sony Xperia 5 iv because it checks the same boxes for small(ish) form factor, headphone jack, and enthusiast camera functions and have no regrets.
There's already a ZenFone 10? I remember the 8 being the latest one not too long ago.
Time is flying faster than I'm expecting, I'm scared you guys :(
My thoughts too, I remember watching the announcement premiere of the zenfone 8... Maybe a year ago x)
Yes! I love small phones. So glad they finally added wireless charging - that was the only thing holding back the Zenfone 9, in my opinion.
Why is wireless charging a necessity?
@@Striker50_ once you have it, it's hard to go back. I have wireless chargers all over my house, at my desk, near the couch, in the car etc. Obviously I could get used to plugging in again, but now I don't have to :)
@@JohnScottByeah wireless charging can't compete with proper wired charging also wasting so much energy
@@JohnScottBoverall wireless charging is useless piece of technology
I own an s23 and that blue colour is sooooo clean
3:02 - awesome that you did not edit it out to replace with some well planned photos. Awesome review :)
Is that a removable back panel?
If they do 4 yrs of OS UPDATES MORE PEOPLE WOULD BUY IT 😮💨
2 years of updates for $900 is a crime!
It's not small by any stretch of imagination. 6 inches is massive. Now, to wait for when the price drops to something reasonable, like 300$.
Zenfone series has been my favorite series in last couple of years, happy to own one
Glad they added wireless charging. The only thing missing for me now is esim support. Not sure if this has esim.
I think a light comparison with the S23 would’ve completed the review.
They’re both the same size!
Tech talk is generally gibberish to me, but with my s21 ultra cracked and starting to glitch, and my yearn for days of smaller phones, i couldn't have heard you more loud and clear. Fantastic review. I do believe this will be the phone i buy. Thanks man!
I really wanted a compact last year with the zenfone 9, but problems with camera quality, lack of OS support and price, i went with the 6a. I miss a more phone desperately though. I really hope Asus atleast does one more Zenfone
Next time they should add the ability to replace the battery, that is, a replaceable cover and it will generally be super cool!
Btw 3,5 mm is awesome! 👏👏👏
*Asus:* We won't release it in most countries hehe
Btw, did Samsung/Asus beat Apple in video? 2:23
your channel is the sh**. been a fan for years
Great edition, light, fun and straight to the points.
Damn, I was going to try and make this my next phone but 2 years of os updates killed it for me 💔
could you tell me the reason of your personal experience, why this asus years of os update is bothering you ?
@@deanddy mainly because I have stopped getting a new phone every year and I plan on keeping whatever phone I have for a minimum of 3-4 years. I used to pay for the phone monthly with the bill but I stopped doing that and started buying my phones outright.
I actually don't like getting too many OS updates. From my experience with One Plus, the phone gets slower and slower each upgrade. I regretted upgrading to 12 to 13. Battery life plummeted. Rarely are the new features a must have now. If it's fluid and stable, the OS is fine.
@@yensteel I have also thought about that, I work with a guy that uses an iphone 8 and has never updated it, and it works perfectly.
I need a Zenfone 10 XL. ASUS, 3 years of software updates is my minimum. You've almost got something I would really consider getting and that is important because I have been deeply dismayed with the state of phones for the past several years. Currently on an s20 FE.
My first flagship phone was Asus zenfone 5z for me it sure was a flagship as it was in my budget and from my prespective i can say ASUS sure makes great phones as my 5z is still rocking and smooth af no performance drop or anything just need battery replacement.
You have to use the 3rd picture you made while dropping the phone as your new youtube profile pic. That would be absolutely legendary
Omg omg i was waiting for a long and honest review of this phone 😭 thankyou dave
DavePerfect2D with the trick shots
OMG that charger cut-on-action was so good.
totally keeping its compact phone crown this year
almost perfect all arounder
WTF, this is a dream phone! Smaller body, great camera, HEADPHONE JACK? Definitely buying for my next phone upgrade
Good review 👍 watching this using Zenfone 8 Flip 🙂🤙
subscribed brother! this is not an ordinary review that only enumerates the specs, awesome
Love the zenefones will be my next for sure.
Love this video. So many fun shots.
I just wish companies would make mid range compact phones like this
As an owner of a Zenfone 6, and looking to upgrade, this is close but what I really don't like is the size and the punch-hole camera. Mine has the motorized back camera, and after more than 3 years of using it, it still works perfectly fine. I'm actually considering the Rog Phone 6. Last year's SOC for about the same price, but it has no hole, plus 'shoulder buttons' that I could definitely use in games.
love the video production!
I cant hold my laugh when Dave dropped the phone and see the photos it had taken. 😂🤣
I'm one of those who wishes they'd bring back the flip camera, it was so cool! It would be an insta buy from me
You hair has grown so much since I last watched a video of yours.
