What to expect from the Zenfone 9 launch
Asus is once again talking about a “grabbable” phone, so you can expect the emphasis of Asus’ device to be on that smaller form factor: the Zenfone 8 was a compact flagship device which is pretty rare and it looks like we’re going to be getting an update to that device.
Asus has been teasing some of the credentials, so we already know that it’s going to be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, and we’ve seen references to the stability of the camera – is this simply going to be OIS or something more?
There are also numerous references to colour, so it’s likely that we’re going to be getting more than just black phone. All will be revealed on launch day – and we’ll bring you news and a full review of the Zenfone 9 as soon as we can.
