If you read kwgeek often, you know my love for small smartphones! After a long period of testing, I personally bought the iPhone 13 Mini, wrote some thoughts on the health benefits of the compact smartphone, and sold my Pixel 6 a few weeks later. So the new information on the Asus Zenfone 9 is the highlight of Tech Week for me!
But news should be objective, which is why so far only official ASUS videos have appeared on the web.According to reports TechGoing, about a minute-long clip appeared on the manufacturer’s YouTube channel before being promptly pulled. Since it was uploaded by fans and re-uploaded to YouTube, you will be able to see the video embedded above.
Asus Zenfone 9: a very promising technical sheet
Like its predecessor, the Asus Zenfone 8, the Zenfone 9 is expected to feature a 5.9-inch display. This one seems to be made by Samsung, with a refresh rate of 120Hz. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 has performed very well in our test of the ASUS ROG Phone 6 Pro, which should ensure sufficient power.

Aside from a rather odd backpack stand, the video also shows a fingerprint sensor placed on the side and mentions IP54 certification. Furthermore, we note the integration of a dual optical module on the back, led by an IMX766 sensor with 6-axis gimbal stabilization. A 4300 mAh battery and a 3.5mm jack should also be included.
Based on our review of the Zenfone 8 last year, the Zenfone 9 could be a very interesting upgrade. At the moment, it is not known when Asus will officially launch the smartphone. But if Asus had uploaded the videos and posted them by mistake, the demo wouldn’t be very long.
