ASUS last released its flagship phone, the Zenfone 9, in July 2022 and is now preparing to launch the Zenfone 10.
Although the ASUS Zenfone 10 may be released in a few months, rumors about it have already surfaced.
It’s not surprising that Asus is launching another flagship this year, as they have consistently released premium Android phones with Qualcomm 8 series processors since the Zenfone 3 series in 2016.
So there is no reason to doubt that the Zenfone 10 will not be released this year.
When is the release date for ASUS Zenfone 10?
To give an idea, the Zenfone series has been launched within the following timeframes:
ASUS Zenfone 6 – May 16, 2019 ASUS Zenfone 7 – August 26, 2020 ASUS Zenfone 8 – May 13, 2021 ASUS Zenfone 9 – July 28, 2022
Leaks from PriceBaba claim that the Zenfone 10 will debut in the fourth quarter of this year. That means we can predict that the Asus Zenfone 10 will be launched between September and December.
What are the features and specifications of the ASUS Zenfone 10? The same PriceBaba report also reveals some specifications of the ASUS Zenfone 10.
Display and design
It seems that ASUS will no longer use the compact 5.9-inch size of the previous Zenfone 9 and Zenfone 8.
The leak reveals that the Zenfone 10 will feature a display even larger than the Samsung Galaxy S23.
If the leak is accurate, the Zenfone 10 will have a 6.3-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
There are no leaked renders to show what the phone will look like. However, ASUS is expected to retain some key elements from the previous generation Zenfone, such as an IP68 rating and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Specifications and features
Rumored specifications of the Zenfone 10 include the Snapdragon 8 series Gen 2 mobile chip. ASUS has always used top-of-the-line Qualcomm SoCs for its flagship phones, so this comes as no surprise.
The Zenfone 10 will pack 16GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB or 512GB. Last year’s Zenfone also had an 8GB RAM/128GB storage variant, which may also be available this year.
However, the storage on the Zenfone 9 only went up to 256GB, so the Zenfone 10 is likely to get an upgrade this year.
The Zenfone 10 has been spotted in the online Geekbench database. The test results show a single-core score of 2,008 and a multi-core score of 5,454. However, the device was running pre-release software.
Battery specifications and fast charging are also reported to receive an upgrade. The Zenfone 10 is expected to come with a 5,000mAh battery and 67W fast charging, up from the 4,300mAh battery and 30W charging on the Zenfone 9.
In the photography department, leakers speculate that the Zenfone 10 will feature a 200MP camera sensor. In contrast, the Zenfone 9 had a 50MP main camera and a 12MP ultrawide camera.
Lastly, leaked information reveals that the Zenfone 10 will come with Android 13 out of the box.
ASUS Zenfone 10 Price
The Zenfone 9 was priced at $799 for the base version and reached $899 for the 16GB RAM variant.
ASUS recently created a website for a blind camera test for the Zenfone 10.
Listed in the terms and conditions on the website, ASUS revealed that the estimated retail value of the Zenfone 10 is $749.
So, will the next Zenfone be cheaper than its predecessor? We’ll have to wait and see after its official release.
