I'm a bit confused. ZF8 started around 650€ when it came out. This thing starts at 800€. They didn't upgrade a lot it seems, except the SOC and the camera on the back.
And how hard is it to put a MicroSD-Slot in there? If you don't want to, then put at least a 512GB version out. Unfortunately the Xperia 5 is the only phone lineup that checks all the boxes. But that 21:9 ratio + thicker bezels make it just too long. F*CK
Anonymous, 26 Jul 2022Asus should make a 5 inch phone too. 5.9 is relatively small but isn't compact Aspect ratio on old 5" phones was 16:9, check their physical dimensions, this is 20:9 so taller but same or less width.
Mmmma, 26 Jul 2022Do people really want small smartphones Sales says otherwise What do the sales say? Is it zero phones sold? If it's so, the sales numbers are wrong.
Anders, 26 Jul 2022Exactly. No one actually wants a sub 6 inch device. As you say the sales back it up. Apple... moreExactly. No one actually wants an iPhone. As you say the sales back it up. Apple's last iPhone had worse sales numbers them the Androids.
this thing looks awesome (of course not perfect - lack of SD card support and telephoto lens) and the price should make it have a great price to quality ratio, the only question is how it will deal with the heat but because it is thicker than Zenfone 8, I trust them to deal with it well
chris1998, 26 Jul 20228000 Nok is £671 rather spend bit and get the realme GT 2 proDo you always compare phones that are for different users? next time tell a person who wants to get iPhone 13 mini to spend some extra and buy S22 Ultra because ignoring the size difference makes sense I guess... P.S. Zenfone 9 > Realme GT2 Pro
Disappointed to see 256GB/16GB apparently being the top of the line without microSD support.
My Zenfone 6 is equipped with 8/256 + microSD. It feels like a big step back in that regard.
I guess most people won't care about it that much, unless they enjoy filming and taking lots of pictures.
hot snapdragons enough , use dimensity , we want dimensity , better for gaming , low heat in gaming

The truth is that the people who want small form factor phones are actually a vocal minority. The failure of the iPhone mini demonstrated this. Most people want large-screen phones, but they do not make noise on the internet. But I really want Android companies to make some small phones so that everyone gets their favourite form factor phones.
ReStore, 26 Jul 2022jejus what's with the over large lenses design? looks so ugly.Apple did it and evidently no other smartphone manufacturer is capable of independent thought
Mmmma, 26 Jul 2022Do people really want small smartphones Sales says otherwise Exactly. No one actually wants a sub 6 inch device. As you say the sales back it up. Apple's last mini iPhone had worse sales numbers them the regular sized one. Even on this website for tech nerds there is very few people saying they want a small phone
Mmmma, 26 Jul 2022Do people really want small smartphones Sales says otherwise Some people do. I do
Damn! looks ugly and expensive.
Anonymous, 26 Jul 2022What's ramdump? Is it a hardware defect that they cannot fix by updates?Not exactly sure about the cause myself but the ZF8s that got it needed a motherboard replacement. It's a problem that just happens, no specific triggers for it - it could happen while you're playing games, browsing or just have the phone on standby.
The camera arrangement looks awful . Why can't they make camera island like Nokia 6.1 plus anymore ?? It was perfect . Now it seems like noone makes camera arrangement as elegant as samsung , Sony . Not even apple. I hope they bring back simplicity like Sony 5 , 10 line up .no bullsh*t phone. I love them !!
If only this had an 870 instead of the 8gen 1 overheating peace of crap it would have been great.I can only imagine how bad it will work in the smaller body of this phone.Battery will suffer too.
ReStore, 26 Jul 2022jejus what's with the over large lenses design? looks so ugly.Better than the previous phone atleast
