Last year, Asus launched the Zenfone 9 compact smartphone in the global market which was loved by normal consumers and enthusiasts alike. It featured an FHD+ 5.9-inch AMOLED display along with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage. Now, a new report has revealed the specs of the upcoming Zenfone 10, and to the surprise of many, this model isn’t that compact.

According to a report by PriceBaba, the Asus Zenfone 10 (with model number AI2302) will be a flagship phone that boasts a 6.3-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform.

The Zenfone 10 is expected to come with 16GB of RAM and a choice of 256GB or 512GB of internal storage. The device will be fueled by a 5,000mAh battery, which may support fast charging at 67W. Additionally, it will be equipped with a liquid cooling system for efficient heat dissipation.

The Zenfone 10 will run on the latest Android 13 OS. It will feature an impressive OIS-enabled 200-megapixel primary camera for photography. The phone will also have an IP68-rated dustproof and water-resistant body, just like its predecessor. According to the report, the launch of the Zenfone is anticipated to occur during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Please take this report with caution as the source has not yet been disclosed. However, if it is accurate, then we might see the departure of the Zenfone from the compact category. This could be due to the company’s desire to expand the appeal of the Zenfone 9 to a broader range of consumers. While compact smartphones are popular with some customers, most prefer larger displays, and the Zenfone’s 6.3-inch screen could attract more buyers.
