Asus Zenfone 10 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Asus Zenfone 10 - without changing its ideals

The Taiwanese company Asus does not forget about fans of mobile electronics. In addition to low- and mid-range smartphones, the manufacturer releases an updated flagship every year, the hallmark of which is compact dimensions. The hero of today's review is no exception. In addition, he acquired a number of additional competitive advantages.

The appearance of the novelty is noticeably more interesting, but the main drawback in the face of a rather wide display frame is preserved. Of the positive aspects, we highlight the modified dual camera unit, high-quality assembly materials (tempered glass, metal), a convenient side fingerprint scanner, and excellent ergonomics. The 5.9-inch AMOLED screen has a FullHD + resolution, which perfectly fits the selected diagonal. The brightness has increased significantly, the touch panel is even more responsive. Of course, there are no problems with color reproduction and image smoothness (120 Hz picture frequency).

The performance specifications are off the charts. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU, 12/16GB of RAM and the Adreno 740 video accelerator are gaining record scores for today from synthetic tests, any gaming applications are played at maximum graphics presets. Excessive heating of the predecessors of the processor is defeated, trolling is much less. The energy efficiency has also increased. Incredibly installed in a small case, a 5000mAh battery will require searching for an outlet only once every one and a half days. Fast wired charging (67W) has been joined by a wireless alternative. The amount of permanent memory is 256/512GB UFS 4.0 format.

Photographic capabilities are far from the best in the value segment, however, Sony's 50 and 12-megapixel photomodules are now endowed with next-generation hybrid stabilization, thanks to which evening shots have added detail and noise has almost disappeared. The stereo sound is loud, rich, the speakers do not give up even before playing instrumental music. Waterproof according to IP68 standards, support for 5G and NFC, combined with a reasonable price tag, are ready to make the device more popular than previous models.
