Size, performance and sound are great. It does feel a bit buggy and clunky - things like you can turn location and hotspot on or off, and it appears to turn it off/on again. Im not sure how much of this is the phone/asus or how much is android/google. Happy with it but not sure if I would buy it if I had to choose again.

CamoGeko-XDA, 05 Jul 2023Good form factor but way too expensive. Xiaomi 12 is better choice imoWorst phone I've ever used. Downgraded myself to a Galaxy S21 and its a much better experience. Still don't know why or how Xiaomi still sells phones LOL

Swordz, 25 Jul 2023He is talking about XiaomiOh, then sorry I misread it.
It's almost perfect for me. The only complaint I have with it is the metal frame instead of a plastic one. Love the fact that it has a headphone jack for my high-end earphones.
perfect phone.. 🏆

OK, been rocking this bad boi for some time now.
Build: Looks interesting, feels solid, back gets dirty, glass is easy to scratch.
Packaging: Charger and a case that is waaay too thick.
Display: Good colors, DC dimming.
Battery: Used to last a crazy amount of time. Like 2 days no problem, 3 if you use it less intensely. Lately my network started consuming A LOT of power for some reason.
Camera: Well, my old phone is iPhone 11, and it most definitely took better shots than Zenfone 9. Decent midrange photos, but nothing special. Gimbals are cool for video, though.
Headphone jack: Works well. Not having to stick Lithium-ion batteries in my ears feels great.
Software: Annoying bugs. Infrequent updates. Only 2 years support?! Main weak spot of the phone. At least they let you unlock the bootloader, so I hope there's some good ROMs in the future.
Summary: Sane feature set (unlike any other phone on the market), but it has a lot of quirks I wouldn't expect at the $800 price point. Would've probably sold 10x the numbers if they could tone down the specs and sell it for $4-500.
