 If you're looking for an Android smartphone that is less than six inches, you're really tough out of luck because there isn't a lot of Android smartphones that are in that size category and even a lot of smartphones in general that are less than six in terms of just size. Now this month has been really busy and we've seen a ton of devices on the channel, made a ton of videos and if you guys have enjoyed that and you're still watching hit that subscribe button and the notification icon we're almost at 500k so smash subscribe button. So the device we're talking about what you've seen earlier is the ASUS Zenfone 10. This is a lovely compact device coming in at 5.9 inches. This is one of the most compact Android smartphones you find in the market and this is something ASUS has honed in with a Zenfone line. Now the Zenfone 9 last year was also compact and it's continuous heritage. You've got five different colors you've got in some really interesting names but this is a starry white you've got like a black, a blue, a green, a white and a red and this is the starry blue right here. Now what do you have with this device is a couple of things first off you've got this lovely display it's as I mentioned again it's 5.9 inches. This display does 144 hertz only while gaming so you only have that you don't have it is not an LTPO display but at least you do have it well focused while gaming you do have a front facing camera right here very nice compact look it's got a little bit of a chin at the bottom but I'm fine with it because it kind of aids well with just the size of this device and then you've got your speaker grill at the bottom you've got USB type C yet then you've also got a headphone jack so even it's compact size it still has a headphone jack. This is a relatively slim device but there's a lot of texture at the back of the device itself where you see of course the color it feels really nice I don't know if you can hear that and this is just Zenn logo is there now the camera housings are big two cameras here on this device here we've got a 50 megapixel and we've got 13 ultra right now that 50 megapixel has something unique it's got a six-axis gimbal on there and it's got an advanced EIS for better video stabilization so that brings us to the very first thing how well does the camera handle well the camera has some unique features right you go into the camera software and you go into video you have the ability to go into adaptive stabilization and what that means is pretty much this is that adaptive stabilization allows for basically a little bit of a crop and also better stabilization while you're actually using the device so let's see how that stacks up against the S23 now I do have the S23 plus here yes which is a slightly bigger device but it has the same cameras and same functionality as the S23 so let's see how it stacks up with video photos and then you know wrap that up so here's the front facing camera on both devices the ASUS Zenfone 10 it's at 1080p 30 frames while of course the Galaxy S23 and S23 plus go all the way to 4K 60 so 4K 60 on the Galaxy and I'm just showing you what it is 1080p you can see here so I should give you an idea of what it looks like and yeah 4K 60 with the active stabilization 4K 30 adaptive stabilization one difference you find with the Galaxy is that you can switch to your front facing camera right here and which you can't do on most devices you can also switch lenses so we can go to the ultra wide here to the main and a Galaxy of course has three lenses and all those devices so we can zoom in we'll go back and you get the idea quite interesting in terms of video S23 still takes the win here I think it does a fantastic job in terms of images daytime images really nice from both devices I did prefer some of the low light from the from the S23 though in terms of the front facing camera I prefer that of the asus Zenfone 10 even though it was very noisy but it wasn't a very soft image for what the S23 provided so in camera I think you know this has done a decent job now the 8k footage that we saw that was quite interesting 8k 30 is just better than 8k 24 in my opinion and that's where the S23 shines now what about speakers because you've got some really nice interesting audio components you've got Dolby Atmos for the S23 and 23 plus but with the asus you also have aptX audio built into it as well so you've got aptX adaptive and you know covers all those aptX codecs as well as high res audio so let's see how well the speakers sound to be fair it wasn't a one-to-one comparison because the S23 plus has slightly bigger speakers but just giving you an idea of what the Zenfone 10 sounds like and I thought it was pretty good and decent in terms of audio now what about gaming we've got the snapdragon 8 gen 2 chip built into it and honestly gaming performance is the same across the board with the 8 gen 2 something you don't really have to test anymore unless the manufacturer really made a big mistake that being said though performance on this was really smooth and nice what I also liked about the performance here is the fact that you've got a lot of the asus gaming features from the asus ROG phone in here so you've got the game genie you can go in you can customize that was actually pretty cool to see and and also experience where you can go and maximize your gameplay look at your stats all that fun stuff together so that was actually pretty good and in terms of battery life while gaming yes you're going to lose quite a bit of battery life there probably around about 15 percent if you're doing like an hour of gaming but when it comes to regular battery life this has a 4300 milliamp battery which is actually bigger than what you have in the s23 itself or even the s23 plus and it does a really good job with the battery life I would say it's quite impressive I think overall a solid battery life performance from this device now plus that headphone jack is really good too as well so if you're someone like me that's got a ton of headphones back there it is something that you would definitely appreciate and use on a day to day basis so overall where does this device stand we've got devices like the galaxy we've got one pluses out there I've got nothing phones but what about the asus zen phone 10 now if it comes in at the price of what the zen phone 9 launched last year I think that is a solid offering 699 now I don't have pricing at this point when I'm making this video if I do you see it on screen but in terms of pricing at 699 I think it's a solid offering now that six-axis gimbal sounded really nice but I it still didn't do much to improve the video that I wanted to see in comparison to the galaxy but in terms of images you're getting a really good shooter plus a super compact device so if you have any questions or any comments guys let me know are you interested in something this small as an android phone otherwise don't forget to like share subscribe and always enjoy entertainment
