Last year, ASUS unveiled the ZenFone 8 as a compact flagship phone in different markets. Earlier today, a report by Pricebaba revealed that the upcoming ZenFone 9 has an AI2202 model number. Now, a new leak courtesy of TechGoing has revealed the design and specifications of the ZenFone 9.

The source claims that ASUS accidentally posted a promo video of the ZenFone 9 on YouTube. The video has been taken down. However, it appears that the publication was able to download it before it was taken down.
As can be seen, the ZenFone 9 will sport a compact design like the ZenFone 8. It will come in four shades, red, white, blue, and black. The handset features a punch-hole display on the front and a dual-camera setup on the back. Around the edges, it features a volume rocker, a power key, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a ZenTouch key (a smart key to slide / move a page), a 3.5mm audio jack, and dual stereo speakers. The ZenFone 9 will have an IP68 dust and water resistance rating.
The video reveals that the Taiwanese company will offer a couple of accessories for ZenFone 9 buyers. These include a smart backpack mount and a case that comes with a kickstand and a card holder.
