9:28 Glass is glass, and glass breaks 😉
I think this is the best screen phone size.. around 5.7-5.9. the 5.4 in iPhone mini is too small
Asus is killing it with these phones.
I really like this design, the color combo with the large rear camera lenses goes hard in my opinion 🔥🔥
The front is giving me pixel 4a vibes and I love it
Doesn't look like Zen to me
SD…
Does it by chance have a micro SD card slot?
Dude every smartphones cameras stand out so much, so what?
Love ASUS
The side build slider needs to be on all phones
My only fear for this piece of perfection, is the longevity. I wonder how long they will support it.
Once again Asus won't make their phones compatible with U.S carriers. I'm still using my ROG phone 2 but its connections are terrible and its getting harder to justify. Time to move on to another brand.
I see what you did with the lighting in the background! Compliments the phone big time.
Nah, I still think the cameras aren't that great. Everything else is nice though.
I love how you setup the ring lights behind you to match the zenfone 9 camera setup, a cheeky move I should say
Just lacks wireless charging to be perfect
Came back to watch this video once again but on my asus zenfone 9 this time :))
finally a way to block this stupid channel even in searchresults. Chrome Extension channel blocker.
Sounds like a cheaper version of the the Sony xperia IV. Have you tried it out? How does it compared?
700 bucks aint cheap for a plastic and a smaller screen
Choosing between Zenfone 9 (compact size, IP68) and XIAOMI 12 (wireless quick charge, cheaper)….hard to choose….
I want the Asus Zenfone 9, but my last 2 phones lasted me 4 years each so the Zenfone's two years of updates is a deal breaker for me. Such a shame. Add one more year and I am sold. I hope Asus is reading the comments and do something about it
Honestly this phone looks really good. I wish I found it earlier for my uncle. He wanted a modern android that wasn't that big. But at the end we got him a galaxy 20fe
I thought wow too
this review has me sold on asus zenphone 9. sadly i don’t know their market situation in india cause it ain’t on online or offline shelves because i would grab this asap! i love a compact android phone and this fits perfect!
Last year I had to choose beetween the S21 and Zenfone 8. The S21 won because of Wireless charging and the Samsung Eco system. Very sad that there is still no QI charging. Would be cool to load the Phone while driving around or working on the Desktop.
I remember buying zenfone 2 a few years back, it had really good customization like the type even samsung didn't have at that time, sadly it started having issues with charging port and I broke the display and couldn't get it repaired. Zenfones are great only if they could break into U.S market and be easy to repair I think it would have potential to rival samsung. I would choose this over a samsung phone any day if I could have it repaired and it's accessories are made available easily. Btw my samsung also had issues well within warranty period, so I'm cutting some slack on zenfone there.
Thanks for this review…what a beautiful smallest phone but headphone jack? 👀
It won't work with Verizon though. Bummer.
Still using my zenfone 8 flip !
many people cant afford this great phone
Asus Zenfone. Can it beat Huawei. The one he talked about earlier this year.
Been a fan of MKBHD for a long time.
Asus Phones are best in Ergonomics and Compatibility. I had been using Asus for a long time now switched to Mi but Asus is better. My next Mobile will definitely be Asus.

Where my bros with headphones at? 9:25 spooked the shit out of me
btw this canera bump problem when you put a case on it it negates it
I saw it at the IFA 2022 in Berlin. It does look and feel really got!
omg this reminds me of the compact king in 2019 s10e it is totally usable and working great also until now and it is great to mention it after nearly 4 years now!
I dont know about the price. It is more expensive than iPhone 13 mini and I think it doesn't reach its quality. On the other hand, from Android phones, there isnt much alternative there.
1:33 – "When's the last time you saw a red phone?" Apple: "And I took that personally"
Replacing my iPhone 13 mini with this one. Since apple decided to discontinue the minis and add esim into their phones. Thank you!
I want this phone!
Not keen on the body. As mentioned this seems to mark and fade quite easily
I like almost everything about this phone (except for the price). More importantly, I think you should have mentioned that it does not have a memory card slot. I like to save my photos to the SD card so I'd hate to have to do without. For $700, it should have been simple to add a micro SD card to the SIM tray.
Currently using Asus Max Pro M.2
Gonna move to Asus again i guess
Asus got those interesting good phones
Can anyone ID the song used in the opening and closing of this video? It doesnt seem to be on his spotify list.
