The Asus Zenfone 9 is the closest thing to a 'perfect' compact Android phone in quite some time, and following a July announcement, US pre-orders are now underway.
5G, US Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 16GB RAM, Midnight Black, Free ROG Cetra True Wireless Earbuds IncludedEven better, the pint-sized phone's manufacturer promises to hook up all early US-based buyers with a complimentary pair of Asus ROG Cetra True Wireless earbuds, which are normally available for $99 by themselves.
Your seven Benjamins will buy you a relatively modest combination of 8 gigs of RAM and 128GB internal storage space, but for just 50 extra bucks, you can double the latter number. Finally, a top-of-the-line 256GB storage configuration with a whopping 16GB RAM count also on deck can be yours at $799, which doesn't look like a bad quality/price ratio either.
Unfortunately, the Zenfone 9 takes its cues from many of today's jumbo-sized Android powerhouses in the expandable memory department, lacking a microSD card slot, although on the decidedly bright side of things, the handset does include a good old fashioned 3.5mm headphone jack... in addition to a surprisingly fast 30W charger in the box.
Bottom line, you're looking at an absolute and undeniable value champion here that happens to be a lot easier to maneuver with one hand than most other premium smartphones on the market right now.Get the most important news, reviews and deals in mobile tech delivered straight to your inbox
