The Asus ZenFone 10 features a 5.9-inch 1080p AMOLED display with a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz. The panel is DCI-P3 colour-calibrated and Asus claims a peak brightness rating of 1100 nits. A layer of Gorilla Glass Victus protects the display from drops and scratches. Lastly, a small cutout holds a 32-megapixel selfie camera. Asus is offering the ZenFone 10 in five colours. These include Eclipse Red, Aurora Green, Midnight Black, Comet White and Starry Blue.
Speaking of cameras, the Asus ZenFone 10 gets a revised camera setup on its back. There’s also a new 50-megapixel image sensor that comes with a 6-axis Hybrid Gimbal Stabilisation system, promising steadier shots. This is assisted by a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera that loses the autofocus system, thereby ditching the macro camera function. The performance aspect gets a major boost with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, which is renowned for its top-notch performance and power efficiency.
Power comes from a 4,300mAh battery which is smaller by today’s standards but Asus claims that the power-efficient chip allows for a 13 per cent boost in battery stamina over the outgoing model. The charging system relies on a 30W wired solution but Asus has finally added support for 15W wireless charging. Asus also bundles the phone with a 30W charger. The Asus ZenFone 10 carries a price tag of EUR799 for the base model with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.
Those wishing to upgrade the storage to 256GB will have to deal with EUR 849. For EUR 929 the ZenFone 10 has RAM of 16GB and the storage capacity to 256GB. The top variant with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage will come but the price is not know yet. The Asus ZenFone 10 brings back the trend of small and powerful smartphones which is a choice for many users. Easy to put in the pocket, easy to operate, and with all amenities modern smartphones have, it is a choice you should look into. ■
