Editorial report
Asus Zenfone 9 8 GB / 256 GB / Latin America technical sheet
The Asus Zenfone 9 suits anyone looking for a compact phone: it pairs a 5.9″ display with a weight of 169 g. Its main trade-off is a 4300 mAh battery, which has less capacity than most phones of its time.
The display is among the best of its time. Its 445 ppi density is also among the best, while the Super AMOLED panel has a 120 Hz refresh rate. At 169 g, the phone’s weight is another standout specification. For buyers prioritizing performance, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 comes with an AnTuTu result among the best. This version has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold in configurations up to 16 GB / 256 GB.
The camera specifications are better than those of most phones launched around the same time. Its 1/1.56″ sensor is larger than most, and optical image stabilization is included. However, the f/1.9 aperture is narrower than that of most phones of its time. Connectivity is also better than most. The 30 W fast charging figure is typical for the period, while battery capacity is lower than most. With a NeoScore of 7.0, the Zenfone 9 is a compelling fit for anyone who wants a compact design, a high-density display, and a large camera sensor.
