the best premium compact smartphone on sale at -20%

In the smartphone market, Asus’ strategy is to focus on two niches. As a result, the manufacturer has two ranges, ROG Phone and Zenfone. If the first is focused on gaming, the second is more focused on the compact side. For the 2023 winter sales, Boulanger the 8 + 128 GB version at 659 euros instead of 799 euros.

Unlike other manufacturers who develop a model for each segment, Asus’s positioning is quite clever. With its Zenfone range, the company is tackling a less competitive market: compact smartphones. The latest model in this version is the Asus Zenfone 9. For the 2023 winter sales, you can get the 8 + 128 GB version for 140 euros less.

Why is the Asus Zenfone 9 interesting?

• The powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1
• A 120 Hz AMOLED panel
• Video recording in 8K @24 fps

Instead of the usual 799 euros, the Asus Zenfone 9 is now available on sale for 659 euros at Boulanger.

A reference to compacts

In each generation, Asus has always maintained the DNA of the Zenfone models, i.e. a compact, ergonomic, powerful smartphone with a beautiful finish. The Zenfone 9 thus takes on a discreet design with rounded edges. The grip will be pleasant at its 68.1 x 146.5 x 9.1 mm for 169 g. To improve its ergonomics, the back is made of polymer plastic. The smartphone is not at risk of slipping through your fingers or leaving fingerprints.

Another advantage of this model, apart from its compact size, has to do with the screen. For this iteration, we have a 5.9-inch AMOLED panel that displays 2,400 x 1,080 pixels of definition (Full HD +) and a density of 445 dpi. It provides particularly deep blacks and infinite contrast. Added to this is the adaptive refresh rate of 120 Hz. Suffice it to say that fluidity will be everyday with this smartphone.

A compact with premium features

Underneath the Asus Zenfone 9 hides a very powerful, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor combined with the Adreno 730 graphics chip. We also have 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM, with 128 GB of ROM. No game, not even the most greedy, can undermine such an arrangement. It is even the most powerful in its category. You can do your daily tasks calmly and comfortably with this smartphone.

Despite its small format, the Zenfone 9 has a durable 4,300 mAh battery. With extensive use, this model will last well through the day and with typical use, it’s around a day and a half. If Asus skips wireless charging on this smartphone, you can recover 100% of your battery in 1h15. Finally, the main image sensor is 50 Mpx against 12 Mpx for the front image module. They do the job.
