Asus Zenfone 9 reviews by real users Asus Zenfone 9

The battery is really impressive! Before that, I used Meizu 16th and Pixel 3, both had enough charge for 3-4 screens. Zenfone with auto performance mode, autohertz and 5G turned off gives me 10-12 hours of screen time, including games, YouTube! Enough for the whole day. Performance is more than enough. The animations are smooth, beautiful, no lags were noticed. Virtually no heat. The system is almost pure android with very nice improvements. The only thing I miss is the pixel launcher that offers applications right on the home screen, and the folders were nicer there. Everything else is great. Updated to Android 13, updates arrive often. Camera. I don't take much pictures, but the reviews are quite decent. I can note the coolest stabilization. Someone may be upset by the lack of a lens with optical zoom (portrait).The sound is nothing special. The phone is not very loud, but with decent stereo. The back cover vibrates when playing music, which is quite unusual and not particularly pleasant. For me it's not critical. The location of the speakers is convenient. Ergonomics. Comfortable in the hand, plump, compact, not heavy. I have it in red and it looks very nice. Someone may not be satisfied with large asymmetrical frames, but for me they were not a problem either on the pixel or on the meise. The front camera in the corner is the best solution. The fingerprint scanner in the power button is the best solution. Face unlock is fast and recognizes even in low light. Fast charging at 30W. The coolest scheduled charging mode: when charging at night, it first charges up to 80% and reaches 100% under the alarm - should extend the battery life. There is no wireless charging and no need. On the pixel, I used it a couple of times - it's not convenient at all. We are waiting for the magsafe as in the iPhone on all androids.The screen is excellent. It might have been better with a 1Hz refresh rate, but the battery lasts all day anyway. Communication catches perfectly. No problem.
