The massively upgraded dual-camera system now includes a 6-Axis Hybrid Gimbal Stabilizer for super-steady snaps and videos. Big possibilities are waiting for you, so grab your Zenfone 9 and go!
Design
Compact size fits perfectly in one hand
Performance
Unbeatable performance, ultrafast 5G
Camera
Steady, stable and sharp images, always
Compact to handle
Zenfone 9's hand-friendly size and lightweight design make it effortless to use for any task, anywhere.
- 5.9" one-handed size
- 169 g lightweight design
Hassle-free unlocking, Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
Unlock your Zenfone 9 by touching your thumb on the conveniently located sensor on the power button at the right side of the phone - it's as simple as that. Just a touch, and you're in! We've banished the hassle!
Big on personality
We've created four eye-catching new colors for Zenfone 9. And it not only looks good, but feels good too, thanks to a newly-developed textured surface material that's really tough yet really grippy!
- High-grip texture
- Anti-fingerprint
Not only looks good, but feels good too!
Big on water resistance
IP68 water resistance means that Zenfone 9 shrugs off unexpected occasional splashes and lets you enjoy your daily life to the fullest![1]
Big on performance
It's compact, but it's incredibly powerful! Zenfone 9 uses the flagship Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform to give you smooth and responsive performance, whatever you're doing.

- 15% faster performance[2]

Big on cooling
Zenfone 9 runs cooler - and faster - than ever, with a totally revamped cooling system.

That's twice as large and offers much bigger cooling capacity[3]. The result? More speed, less heat!
Big on battery capacity

- 4300 mAh[4] high-capacity battery
- 30-watt[5] HyperCharge adapter

Big on smooth visuals
The 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate[11] delivers super-smooth visuals with improved power savings.

1. The device has been tested for water resistance using IEC 60529 standard and has achieved an IP65/68 rating. Water and dust resistance can deteriorate over time in normal usage, or if the device is damaged, repaired or taken apart. The device should never be completely submerged underwater, and should not be allowed to come into contact with seawater, brine, chlorinated water or drinks. Failure to observe correct precautions will invalidate the device warranty and the function of water and dust resistance. Water resistance is tested by submerging the device to a depth of 1.5 meters in tap water for 30 minutes. After the test the device is removed and fully dried, then checked for normal operation. Please note that the device has a USB-C charging port, and this USB-C port must be completely dry before any attempt is made at charging. For related warranty information, please refer to the product warranty card.
2. Manufacturer's performance data. Compared to Snapdragon® 888.
3. The comparison is specifically comparing Zenfone 9's vapor chamber and Zenfone 8's heat pipe. The vapor chamber in Zenfone 9 is twice as large as that in Zenfone 8.
4. The battery typical capacity is 4300mAh, while the battery rated capacity is 4150 mAh.
5. HyperCharge supports 30-watt charging which requires use of the supplied ASUS charger. Actual wattage may vary depending on conditions.
6. The battery life is compared to that of the previous Zenfone model. Actual usage may differ depending on conditions.
7. Test result provided by ASUS labs, actual performance may vary depending on conditions. The test condition for the normal usage model was tested under the following specific condition in one day: 90 min phone calls, 500 text messages, 80 min streaming music, 30 min YouTube, 30 min TikTok, 60 min gameplay, 20 photos and 120 sec video recording.
8. Test result provided by ASUS labs, actual performance may vary depending on conditions.

Amazing
This phone is amazing. Battery life is great, it's fast. There's no bloatware. It's not the size of a curiseship. Best phone I've had.
The only con is that it's harder to find a case due to it not being a major phone, however it does come with a case in the box.
I've had it for about a month so.
A good basic android phone
Works very well, with a fast chipset, good built in data etc storage, great battery life (though it cant be charged on a cordless charger), has good reception on the spark network and has minimal unwanted bloatware (unlike Samsung etc). It does not however have capacity to take a mini SD card to expand memory and not being Apple or Samsung I found it hard to find accessories like case etc for it.
If you want a good pure Android phone this is well worth looking at
Good phone
I was looking for something without a lot of bloat on top of android (looking at you Samsung) that isn't too big and this phone delivers. No regrets, would recommend. As a bonus, the incuded case is the first one I actually use, it's surprisingly nice in a cheap, free case kind of way.
Great phone
I switched back to android from an iPhone 13 mini and while this isn't as compact I like it so much more than the iPhone. Really like this phone and if it had a telephoto lens it would be perfect but absolutely no complaints in the 2-3 weeks I've had it
Compact flagship
The accessories are way better than its competitors (IPone14 or S22), it comes with a charger, cable and an OEM case. Of course you could find some better cases like rhinoshied or other kinds, no problem.
The OS feels very much like a vanilla Android OS, just like a pixel phone.
If you are looking for an upgrade/replacement flagship phone for a length around 150mm, this one is a good option.
Small, powerfull, and well built
I've had this phone for around 9 months now; it's basically my baby.
I would highly recommend this device. It's incredibly nice having a smaller phone after years of mobiles growing in size, and this one packs a punch to boot. The performance is snappy, the screen is bright and smooth, and the cameras have some fantastically fun options to play with.
On the camera front, the stabilization for videos is impressive, and the overall quality is good for the price point.
Its battery is slowly wearing down, but I still get plenty of screen on time despite the fact that I have plenty of background apps.
There are some missing features, l...view more
Spiritual successor to the Sony Xperia Compact
One of the best flagship compact smartphones money can buy! Only con for me is the slack software support as they only confirmed 2 years of android updates
very regret to buy
I was disappointed by this phone
1. hard to read wireless charging when oem phone case is fitted.
2. battery dry out extremely fast compare with my previous phones
3. cant use split screen
4. no customized icon and font style
5. I don't play much phone gamez but when charging, watching video, or even just few more apps at the background the phone turns to very very hot very quickly, take me few days to get used to it that it is not going to blow.
