Last month, Asus Zenfone 9 debuted in select markets as probably the most pocket-friendly feature-packed handset. It boasts the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Soc, a gimbal-mounted main camera, an improved battery, and more. Today, a new leak suggests that the Zenfone 9 might also launch in India next week but with a different name. However, it will likely pack the same specs.
According to YouTuber Sahil Karoul, Asus might launch the Asus Zenfone 9 in India on August 23. The device is rumored to debut in the country as Asus 9z. The YouTuber’s claim is a bit hard to believe since Asus hasn’t posted a single teaser or scheduled any launch event yet, but it’s possible that it may launch the device silently, similar to how Google launched its Pixel 6a last month.
If we talk about the pricing, the Asus Zenfone 9 was launched in global markets with a price tag of EUR 799 which roughly converts to Rs 64,700. However, the Indian price of the device will be comparatively lower. Asus Zenfone 9 Price in India will likely be around Rs. 60,000-63,000.
Is it a good value for this price? Well, it depends on your needs. If you want a compact smartphone but don’t want to compromise on specs, this phone is made for you. However, the iPhone 13 Mini is also available at around the same price and it’s a decent smartphone.
To recall, Asus Zenfone 9 comes with a 5.9-inch FullHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Soc paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The device is backed up by a 4300mAh battery that supports 30W fast charging. The charger comes with the phone so you don’t need to purchase it separately.
