Review on πŸ“± Powerful ASUS Zenfone 9 - 8/128 GB Smartphone: Dual Nano SIM, Midnight Black by Adam Wawrzyski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No complaints, I recommend the product for purchase.

I took it because of the size: there are essentially no Android phones on the market with decent hardware and a diagonal of less than six inches. iPhone SE is good, but I'm not friends with apple software. I also wanted the performance to be enough for several years to come. Moved from Nokia 5.3. Nokia has a much nicer OS design. I had to replace the entire artwork with my own. In general, the purchase is satisfied.

Pros
  • - Design - Size - Camera - Performance
Cons
  • - Fingerprint scanner on the side panel. If you use fingerprint unlock, then get ready for the fact that the phone will be unlocked at any time, for example, when you put it in your pocket and touch the scanner with your finger. Decided to unlock by face, but it's less secure and doesn't work in the dark - Pouch included is of low quality: cheap plastic, color does not match the phone - After Nokia or Apple, the graphics and sound design of Android from Asus causes epilepsy. All wallpapers by default are dazzling or simply tasteless, for built-in calls they were too lazy to even make a normal loop, not to mention the sound of the notifications themselves. Easily replaced by their own, but not everyone wants to bother with such. - Small font size on the main screen compared to the rest of the system, and it is not possible to increase it separately - Compared to the default Android, a number of Asus modifications are questionable. In particular, the notification curtain with sound, WiFi, Bluetooth toggles is less convenient and functional. - Battery life leaves much to be desired compared to my previous Nokia 5.3. I don’t play games, I almost don’t surf the Internet, I use it mainly for instant messengers, calendar, store applications, etc.
