Apple doesn’t even release mini smartphones, which proves that these models are hard to sell. ASUS may know that the Android mobile phone market is very difficult to break into, and it has produced niche models in the past few years. All Android phones compete with cameras, while ASUS ROG series concentrate on making phones; all brand flagships insist on big guns, while ASUS is the opposite, with fine guns! ASUS Zenfone 10 continues to detail, the 5.9-inch mon size makes it easy for “fine mans control” to choose. But should the appearance, camera, and performance come first?
Out of the box appearance
ASUS Zenfone 10 is different from other large-screen mobile phones. It uses a 5.9-inch screen, so its size is very convenient to carry, only 146.5 x 68.1 x 9.4mm, and weighs only 172g. It can be operated with one hand, and A mobile phone that doesn’t feel heavy when you carry it around. During the trial period, the real bag is friendly, and it is safe to wear narrow pants.
When you see Zenfone 10, you may think that it is just a modified version of the previous generation Zenfone 9, because except for adding a new green model, the exterior design is similar to the previous generation, and the one we picked up this time is red version, if I don’t tell you, you might just think it’s the Zenfone 9. But in fact, it uses the latest Qualcomm S8 Gen 2 processor, upgrades the camera, adds a new generation of micro-head, uses a new front lens sensor, and adds wireless charging function, making up for the shortcomings of the previous generation .
▲ The accessories in the box are quite complete, including chargers, charging cables, protective cases and card pins, so you don’t need to spend extra money to buy accessories. To be honest, environmental protection must be started by me, but when buying a machine, you must have enough accessories. Let me talk about it first!
▲ Zenfone 10 is available in five colors, with a 3.5mm headphone jack, power switch and embedded fingerprint authentication. The protruding degree of the two lenses is different, but on this thin camera, it becomes two big eyes!
performance same endurance
Zenfone 10 uses Qualcomm’s latest S8 Gen 2 processor. The version we got this time is 16GB RAM + 512GB ROM, with strong performance. Tested with Geekbench, PCmark, and 3Dmark benchmarking software, the results are very good, and it truly achieves the performance of the flagship model. In fact, using this mobile phone is very smooth, and there is no problem of choking when using it.
We have tested many mobile phones with S8 Gen 2 processor this year, but the temperature control performance of this mobile phone is particularly outstanding. Because the previous thin phones were prone to heat due to the small heat dissipation area of the body, but Zenfone 10 does not have this problem, or because the body is relatively thick and the material of the back cover is buried, after running the three performance test software , the temperature rise of the fuselage is very slight, I really want to give it a Like!
In addition to good performance and excellent temperature control performance, the Zenfone 10 uses 4300mAh power, and its battery life performance is also very satisfactory to us. The test process is to test by continuously playing YouTube high-definition streaming video. We turned off the automatic brightness, adjusted the screen brightness and volume to about 50%, and turned on the automatic screen update rate, and connected to the Internet with Wi-Fi Let’s play YouTube continuously for an hour. After testing for an hour, the battery capacity dropped from 80% to 75%, which is only 5% of the battery capacity. In conversion, if it is fully charged, Zenfone 10 can play Youtube continuously for up to 20 hours. This battery life is really good. Department is impressive!
Before
afteraudio and video effects
Zenfone 10 is equipped with a 5.9-inch screen with a resolution of 1080×2400, which supports the highest screen refresh rate of 144Hz, but if you want to use 144Hz, you must open it in the “Game Wizard” when playing games. If you are not playing games, the screen refresh rate is only up to 120Hz. Although the screen is not too big, its color, brightness and viewing angle are well done. It can maintain good readability even under the sun, and the display related settings are very complete.
Zenfone 10’s dual-speaker bass performance is so thick that even the fuselage will feel resonance. The sound quality and buried volume are very good. The effect is close to that of the iPhone 13 and 14 series. It belongs to “strong bass, sweet midrange, high pitch “My friend (what’s the word for food, in short, it’s loud and nice). Better than many recent Damang Android flagships.
camera effects
In the camera section, Zenfone 10 is equipped with a six-axis shockproof hybrid gimbal 2.0, and a 1/1.56-inch photosensitive element with a 50-megapixel main lens and a 13-megapixel 120-degree ultra-wide-angle lens. The front lens is upgraded to an RGBW photosensitive element. 32 million pixels. In addition to the left camera, Zenfone 10 focuses on the intelligent anti-shake recording function. The camera will use the gyroscope to detect the degree of shaking and perform digital anti-shake cropping. When it is stable, it will use less cropping to provide a wider field of view. You can get better video effects.
In actual use, Zenfone 10 is very stable in both day and night scenes, with rich colors and high contrast. The imaging style is more pleasing to the eye. Night mode takes better pictures. After turning on the smart anti-shake function, no matter you are walking or running, or just holding the phone with your hand, the pictures you take will not shake or shake.
However, there are some things to play, the first is that the front camera does not support 4K video recording, and the other is that neither the front camera nor the ultra-wide-angle lens support autofocus (the front lens and the ultra-wide-angle lens of Zenfone 9 have support).

Summary: A good choice for flagship phones with small screens
Although the Zenfone 10 is a slightly upgraded model, it is rare to buy the flagship of Ximang. The Zenfone 10 is upgraded with the latest S8 Gen 2 processor and equipped with 15W wireless charging, which makes it even more flagship-like. In our actual test, its battery life, camera, and speakers all performed well. If you combine Zenfone’s relatively affordable pricing strategy (I believe it is one of the most affordable 8 Gen 2 flagship phones), I believe it will be the favorite For the consumers of thin flagship mobile phones, or those who want to buy 8 Gen 2 high-performance mobile phones, Zenfone 10 is also a good choice.
