ASUS Zenfone 10 Cell Phone, 5.9” FHD+ AMOLED 14 4Hz, IP68, 32MP Front Camera, 8GB+ 256GB , 5G LTE Unlocked, Black, AI2302-8G256G-BK [US version]

Excellent phone. This thing has impressed me on performance and I'm so thankful I purchased it. The form actor is right on the edge of being too big for me (only slightly larger than the iPhone SE) and the phone/camera options and quality have blown my mind. The battery life rocks, the customization/UX settings are expansive. My only wish is that Asus will continue to make the Zenfone at this size or smaller. (At the time of this review, the Zenfone 11 only has a large 6.78" display version available.) To touch on the video quality: I recorded a few clips on 4K at a local brass band festival and was blown away at how clean the audio was. I've never been able to record live music without it sounding blown out or something. The mechanical image stabilization is amazing. I chased my daughter running and everyone I showed it to thought a drone recorded it. And if you reduce resolution you can have digital (cropped) stabilization on top of the mechanical stabilization. All in all, this phone has excellent tech wrapped in a small form factor. If you're not beholden to brand or operating system, you will not regret buying this phone.

The Asus Zenfone 10 is a perfect compact and beautiful powerhouse. The Zenfone 10 hits all the marks of a high end smartphone at a more affordable price. There truly is no negative points to this phone, so I'll just focus on the positives. It has a popping , colorful display with enough brightness to see in direct sunlight with the addition of a 90 Hz, 120 Hz, and 144 Hz for super smooth gaming or media consumption. The Zenfone 10 has an amazing battery rated at 4300 mAh that lasts the entire day and can even last well into the next one. The speakers have great sound seperation, depth and fullness to make any track or video sound booming! Moving on to the cameras I have never seen a better stabilized phone camera than the one on this phone. The cameras on this phone capture images with such detail and record videos so stabilized you'd think it's on a tripod all the time. Asus has optimized it's software so well I believe it is more fluid and easier to use than stock Android 14. Ultimately the zenfone 10 is a winner in every department and competes with major brands like Samsung or Apple, and in some aspects, it's far ahead of the competition.
