Asus Announces US Pricing and Pre-Orders for Zenfone 10
Asus has started accepting pre-orders in the US for its new compact flagship phone, the Zenfone 10. Shipping "around early September", the Zenfone is priced at $700–800, depending on configuration. The Zenfone 10 was first announced in late June, and packs high-end features into an unusually small body with a 5.9-inch display. The cheapest option at $700 has 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage, but only comes in black. Stepping up to 256 GB of storage runs $750 with all five color options available (blue, green, red, white, and black). For $800, you get 16 GB RAM + 512 GB storage and a choice of black or green. Between now and Sept. 30th, pre-orders include a free set of ROG Cetra Bluetooth earbuds worth $100.
ASUS Zenfone 10 Flagship Keeps it Small
Asus has announced its newest compact flagship phone, the Zenfone 10. It has a 5.9-inch FHD+ OLED display with an all-screen design and up to 144 Hz refresh, protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. With most of today's smartphones sporting screens well over 6 inches, that makes this high-end phone unusually compact. It's powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip paired with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The main camera offers 50 megapixel resolution and 6-axis "hybrid gimbal" OIS stabilization. There is also a 13 megapixel wide camera and 32 megapixel front camera with RGBW sensor. The 4,300 mAh battery can be topped up with 15-watt wireless charging or 30-watt wired charging. It has an IP68 rating for dust and water, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and comes in five colors: green, blue, red, black, and white. Although US pricing was not announced, it will come to the US by the end of the 3rd quarter.
