This phone has everything that I am looking for in a <6" form factor. Its release date is June 29. Really looking forward to it!

    I was really hyped for the Zenfone 9 since it had all the features i wanted, and the 10 seems to be just as stunning. I wouldn’t even mind paying the higher price for some unique features in a small package, but two years of updates for a flagship is a big no for me.

    Got a pixel 6a instead for half the price and five years of updates, directly from the source.

      See, that’s the thing for me the pixel 6a and 7a are missing several featues, most notably they have low storage space (only up to 128gb). This may be plenty for most, but it is not for me.

        I don’t see myself going above 60 gigs used storage in the future anyway, mostly used for spotify downloads, so you would be right about that. But a better screen (more than 60hz), wireless charging, faster charging in general, better accessibility because of the size and button scroll feature, easier to open and replace the battery… I’m sure I could go on with features this phone had and the new one will have which were reasons for me to consider it, but the update policy for that price is just ridiculous to me.

        But then again different folks different priorities.

      Same for me. Zenfone 9 is almost twice the price of Pixel 6a and is promised half the years of updates… Plus I get to try Graphene OS with the Pixel. But I would have preferred Zenfone 9’s more compact form for my baby sized hands.
