for me 2 years of update is not a problem, as long as you know what you're doing: e.g. dont sideload anything suspicious apk. Just like owning a car, you can keep it running if you drive sensibly. Camera: not a problem, it can take pictures well and I am not a pro photographer.

You're not entirely safe even if you're careful. But that remainder is usually limited to targeted attack, and most of us are not subject to these. But I'll say, Smartphones connect in a few complex ways these days, so they're much easier to attack if outdated than e.g. a PC that isn't specially setup in a vulnerable way. Which is ironic considering that PCs get Updates for much longer.

I have that phone too, decided to take the plunge recently and get out of budget phone, I had a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 for the past 3 years and it was driving me crazy (constantly bumping against that 3GB of RAM), and the phone was overall very slow to open anything. The Zenfone 10 is completely night and day, and I really appreciate to havea smaller phone. Cameras are pretty good too, and as a photographer I really like to see overbuilt stabilization, full manual controls ect. The RAW files are pretty good for casual stuff if I want to edit them (I generally havea dedicated camera with me, but in a pinch the cameras on this phone are pretty damn great). Having a glagship processor as well as a small form factor (my Xiaomi was way too large) and a heafphone jack is simply great. Even budget phones don't have headphone jacks these days. I'm not that bothered about 2 years of support. I ran a Galaxy J7 for 7 years and I only changed it because the power button broke. If I had picked up a higher RAM version of my Redmi Note 9 (dunno if they had a 6GB version?) I would have probably kept it a little longer (technically it's just back in its box in case there is a problem). I do intend on keeping that phone as well for as long as it lasts. 5, 6 , 7 years? Dunno ! We'll see when it breaks. I'm ot doing anything fancy with my phone, I'm not a power user. I'm expecting it to last a long time having a flagship CPU, that was always the major problem with my previous phones : great on day one but 3 years down the line you really start seeing the thing slowing down, I'm hoping this will not be the case here.

I love you this type of compact flagship phones, gorgeous

I really appreciate your effort of putting up 3 back to back videos about this super device that you hold. Love it man. Thanks alot. I'm planning to buy one please suggest me which color will be the best, I'm thinking to go with white one is it good?? Cause we get a case with it right??

Thank you! Yes, you do get a case with it. I actually wanted the blue, but it was out of stock when I was ordering the phone.

Great video! Btw. this wallpaper on the phone looks really cool :) Does it come pre-installed with the phone perhaps?

I am hopeful that an 11 compact version will be released soon... ❤

It wont, never

Where did you get those Wallpapers?

Will you compare it with Galaxy S23?

Hopefully, Sony still retain headphones jack.

How is the splitscreen vs sony xperia? I got a sony xperia but im always checking asus out too. but the software of sony is remarkable good. even better than google pixel i think. at least many usable software.

It's an almost perfect phone. There are two main issues left. 1. Requiring an update period of at least 5 years, 2. Support USB 3.2 and desktop mode. I will wait for Zenphone 11. Of course, I wish it would be sold in my country.

Well theirs still the Sony hopefully

I'm waiting for the S24FE. If it's not compact, I'll buy this Zenfone 10.

No issue if hotspot in Asus Zenfone 9. I am using it for more than a year.

I was so tempted to get this phone, but only two years of android updates. Kind of killed it for me. It’s got to be at least three.

2 years of update? No wonder I have never seen one in person

I have old Sony XA that has been retired after 5 years of abuse and is now serving as music control to the soundbar. Yes the battery is dead but the old android is as snappy as ever and I have no issue using any app. I like the older cleaner versions better.

Also no ability to unlock the device and flash e.g. Lineage OS to keep getting updates. They stringed people along a long time on some support questions etc that were asking them to re-enable unlocking on the Zenfone 9.
