Poll: Is the Asus Zenfone 9 hot or not?

Asus has officially released the Zenfone 9 today, showing us a compact flagship phone largely in line with last year’s Zenfone 8. It also ticks quite a few boxes for a flagship device in 2022, such as the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset and an IP68 rating.

Still, we want to know whether you think the Zenfone 9 is a hot device or not. You can give us your opinion by making a selection in the poll below and leaving a comment if you want to clarify.

We can see why many people would like the phone, thanks to features like its compact design, 3.5mm port, and gimbal-like stabilization for the main camera. This is in addition to the aforementioned chipset and IP rating.

In saying this, there are also a few reasons why you might not like the device. First off, the $699 price tag is pretty good for the US, but that €799 European price is a pretty big jump up. It’s also disappointing to see only two OS updates and “at least” two years of security patches. Otherwise, you will also miss out on wireless charging.
