The Asus Zenfone 10 256GB is ASUS's 2023 smartphone featuring a 5.92 inches, 84.6 cm2 (~84.8% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM8550-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (4 nm) chipset. It comes with a 4300 mAh battery. At AED 2,500 in the UAE and ₹49,999 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The Asus Zenfone 10 excels with its 50MP main sensor featuring gimbal OIS—unmatched in compact flagships—and a 4300mAh battery delivering 13 hours 5 minutes of active use, rare for a 5.92-inch device. Its 30W wired and 15W wireless charging support PD3.0 and PPS, ensuring fast, reliable top-ups. This is the phone for users who prioritize pocketability without sacrificing flagship camera stability and all-day endurance. The 172g weight and 84.8% screen-to-body ratio make it one of the most ergonomic flagships available. However, thermals throttle under sustained 5G gaming, and the 13MP ultrawide lacks HDR support, limiting dynamic range in high-contrast scenes. In UAE at AED 2500, it’s competitive because no other phone under AED 3000 offers gimbal OIS and 5G band coverage including n78. In India at ₹49999, it’s overpriced—flagships like the Pixel 8 Pro deliver better software and cameras for ₹52000, making this a niche pick only for those who refuse larger screens.
