The mere 2-year SW support wasn't that big a deal to power users until recently. About a year ago Asus removed the option to unlock bootloaders, claiming it would come back soon, giving and missing several deadlines and to this day not fulfiling their promises that the unlock tool will come back. So if you ask why Asus is losing customers, the answer is lack of respect to their customers.

I'm a fairly small person and with phones constantly getting more and more massive I really need a phone that doesn't feel like I'm carrying an actual brick around in my pocket and requires me to use both hands 100% of the time. Not sure what I'm going to do when I have to eventually replace this, but I'll just gonna cross that bridge when I get there I suppose. I really hope small (good quality) smartphones continue to be in the market because there are a lot of people in the world that aren't the size of Zack or MKBHD, and using all these massive "normal sized" phones is just really difficult for us.

I would have 100% bought the ZenFone 9. I was so excited about it when it was announced in summer 2022. But over time I realized that it was far too inconvenient to work around. You could only get it from Taiwan (no US retailers), guaranteed 2 years of software support, and it was $700. It was so much more convenient to just buy the Pixel 7a, which is the closest in size but still a vastly different competitor. If the 7a was smaller, it would have been first on the list. The key here that would have made it a no-brainer was reducing the base specs of the internals and selling at $599 or even $499 USD. In that case, it would have boosted sales considerably and, when more people bought in, they could ramp up software development in step.

It's really worse than that. Unlocking the bootloader was possible, then they shut down the service. Many contacted Asus and they said the service would be put back online in the Q4 of 2023. Never heard anything after that, and the service is still offline. They lied and ghosted their most appasionate costumers, modders, and developers. A very shitty behavior from a company.

I love these teardown and test combo videos

This is how easy it should be to determine the durability of the phone - test it, tear it down, put it back together - it's all perfect, in a single video. No complications, just amazing engineering and skills to have built it that way. The fact that everything is in a single video shows how good the phone is. I would have bought this phone, but unfortunately Asus doesn't sell it in my country and I can't get it!

Sick! Wanted you to check out the Zenfone 9 when it came out. These phones are really great. Edit: Also Google have committed to 7 years for their newest Pixels. But they have a history of reneging on those types of promises, they have already weaseled out of some of their AI update "guarantee". Previous Pixel phones had 3 years of updates, and 5 years of security updates. Zenfone gets 2+4 so not far off really.

Wait. It's 2+4? Then it's not that bad, after all who cares about updates others than the safety ones. At least not me.

@@Grzegorz_Grabowski Yes the security updates will be 4 years. Think LG sometimes issued new Android updates after their advertised lifespan, although they would be very late. If ASUS were to remain committed to the Zenfone lineup, then maybe there's a small chance they would release further updates. But I wouldn't bet on it.

I wish more brands would release mid-level/affordable so-called 'compact' phones. I'm still using my Moto X4 which is nearly 7 years old, completely waterproof IPX68 (or was, been dropped many times now!), sd card slot, headphone jack, metal build and so on. At the time I bought it I found it too big, now almost nothing bar expensive iphones or Zenfones offer good specs and similar 'small' size factor. But at a price 😬

Sales would continuously prove people mostly just want a bigger phone. Everyone raves about the zenfone 10, but only like 5 people actually bought it

As someone who hates phones that don’t fit into pockets it’s sad to see small phones go

I LOVE this phone, such a heartbrake they have discontinued it 😔, they never released it in India and thus I could not purchase it. I was planning to buy the Zenfone 11 had they still continued with the compact design, ALAS, my dream of buying a Zenfone would just remain that - a dream.

The S24 is only 1mm taller and 2mm wider than this. Small phones aren't really dead, just the marketing is.

The likes of Asus and Sony will be forced to adapt or die when the EU implements new laws stating that an electronic item will have to get updates for as long as it's expected to work. If they then say they expect the flagship to die or be obsolete after 2-3 years while their biggest competitors get by on 7, they are out of the game.

As a honor X7 user I agree this is the "members only" phone

Can confirm, I was strongly considering this phone up until I learned it wasn't getting updates. My current phone, a nearly 3 year old *Nokia*, still gets updates regularly. Unfortunate because its such a compelling package otherwise. One of the best options with both a headphone jack and an IP rating.

The hardware is well manufacturered, as Zack said, lack of software support is lead to a short sell is true. By being the another half of the Zenfone 9 users, it still holds up most of the needs.

The S23 and S24 are about the same size (slightly wider and slightly shorter) while having larger screens due to the non-existence bezels so this isn't exactly the last, I'm pretty sure Asus aimed for exactly 5.9 inches for marketing purposes though when in reality, it's the same as 6.1 inches phones but with thicker bezels

It wouldn’t sell well again

This is the closest contender to having all the features I would want in a new phone. My Galaxy S10 has wireless charging, a headphone jack and telephoto + ultrawide cameras. I can't find all those features in a new phone whilst maintaining the same screen size. I think I'll be replacing the battery to try and get a few more years out of my S10...

I'm glad I picked my Zenfone 10 up when I did as they're getting hard to find now as stock is running out. So far I really love it.
