The ASUS Zenfone 9 was one of the best compact phones released last year. The device offered great performance, great cameras, and surprisingly good battery life for its size. ASUS plans to follow up with the Zenfone 10 this year. This year’s Zenfone 10 hopes to live up to its predecessor. There may be some good news on the horizon for ASUS fans. This is because the pricing for the Zenfone 10 has leaked straight from ASUS, and it might be cheaper than expected.
ZenFone 10’s pricing leak
ASUS recently launched a website to facilitate blind testing for the Zenfone 10’s camera. However, smartphone enthusiast, Wichaya Poka, spotted that the terms and conditions on the website actually disclosed the approximate retail value of the Zenfone 10 to be $749. Screenshots of the terms and conditions shown the price have been shown below.
Gizchina News of the week
The wording from the screenshot leaves room for a different price. However, it’s safe to conclude that ASUS will launch the Zenfone 10 at around the same price as the Zenfone 9. Usually, phones given as rewards from promotional contests are the base variant. So we can hope to see the Zenfone 10 start at $749 if ASUS’s own words are to be believed. The website is inviting users to vote on a series of photos. The feedback received will help tune the upcoming phone’s camera. Users will also be entered into a lucky draw to win a Zenfone 10 after it launches.
Comparison with ZenFone 9’s Pricing
The Zenfone 9 came in at $699 for the base 8GB/128GB version. The 8GB/256GB version went for $749, and $799 for the 16GB/256GB version. The leaked pricing for the Zenfone 10 does not mention the RAM or storage variant. This means we cannot conclude if the phone is going to have a price increase. This is because previous leaks have mentioned that the phone will come with 16GB RAM and options of 256GB and 512GB of internal storage.
Other Zenfone 10 Specs
The Zenfone 10 is expected to come with a bigger 6.3-inch 120Hz AMOLED display. For the processor, we might see a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC under the hood. The Zenfone 10 is also expected to have a 200MP primary camera with OIS as its highlight features. The phone is also expected to have a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging support. The phone may also have an IP68 rating. We’ll have to wait a few more months for the phone to launch and see which of these specs pan out.
Final Thoughts
The ASUS ZenFone 10 is shaping up to be an impressive device, with its powerful performance, versatile camera setup, and ample storage options. The accidental leak of its pricing suggests that it will be competitively priced, making it an attractive option for users seeking a high-quality smartphone at a reasonable cost.
As we await the official launch of the ZenFone 10, it’s important to stay informed about the latest rumors and developments surrounding the device. Keep an eye on this space for more updates and insights into the ASUS ZenFone 10 and its exciting features.
