Asus Zenfone 9
Asus Zenfone 9 is easily the best smartphone ever made by the brand, which embraces a new compact body, sleek minimalist design, and some of the most powerful components available in the market today. While the frame of this new smartphone is made from lightweight aluminium, the rear panel is still made from plastic. But it features a very nice texture that makes it nice to hold. The front display is brilliant and vibrant and quite bright, despite its small size. It is also pretty responsive, thanks to the near-stock software setup that has been introduced for this generation. You also get an upgraded dual camera setup with extra-large sensors and gimbal-based optical image stabilisation.
