TL; DR
- ASUS is inviting user feedback for the Zenfone 10 in a camera blind test.
- The promotional terms and conditions suddenly cost the phone.
- The ASUS Zenfone 10 may start at $749 for the base variant.
The ASUS Zenfone 9 is one of the best compact phones released last year, with great performance, a great camera and surprisingly good battery life for its size. ASUS is hoping to follow up on the Zenfone 10 this year, and hope to capture some of the same magic from its predecessor. There may be some good news on the horizon for ASUS fans as the Zenfone 10 price has been released directly from ASUS and may be cheaper than expected.
ASUS recently launched a website to facilitate blind tests of the Zenfone 10 camera. The site is inviting users to vote on a series of photos, and the feedback received on the same will help fine-tune the upcoming phone’s camera. Users will be entered into a lucky draw to win the Zenfone 10 after its launch.
Eagle Eye enthusiast Wichaya Poka has revealed that the terms and conditions on his website show the Zenfone 10’s estimated retail price to be $749.
C. ASUS is offering three (3) Zenfone 10 as prizes of this Promotion (each a “Prize”) in total. Each prize has an approximate retail value of $749.
The wording leaves room for a different price, but it’s safe to conclude that ASUS is hovering around the ZenFone 9’s launch price and not doing anything different. Usually, the phones they give away as prizes from promotional contests are basic variants, so if ASUS is to be believed, we can expect to see the Zenfone 10 starting at $749.
The Zenfone 9 is priced at $699 for the base 8GB/128GB version, $749 for the 8GB/256GB version, and $799 for the 16GB/256GB version. The leaked Zenfone 10 pricing doesn’t mention the RAM or storage variant, so we can’t conclude that the phone is seeing a price hike as previous reports suggested that the phone will have 16GB RAM and 256GB RAM and 512GB internal storage options. .
The Zenfone 10 is expected to feature a large 6.3-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and a 200MP primary camera with OIS. The phone is expected to have a 5,000mAh battery and 67W fast charging support. We’ll have to wait a few more months for the phone to launch and see which of these specs come out.
