I’m really happy about my ZenFone 9. It’s small, fast, has headphone jack. A mini flagship.

I hate mine. Got the glitch that ruins the camera and the only way to fix it is to send it off for a few weeks. Happened after only having the phone about 10 months. Can’t go that long without my phone so I’m just dealing with it by only taking wide angle photos, but it’s a real bummer. I usually keep a phone for at least 3 years but I’ll be ditching this around July after less than 2. I love their computers but I’ll never buy a phone from them again.

I love everything about the zenfones except Asus not allowing bootloader unlocking. Deal breaker.

Whaat? I’m sending this comment from a Zenfone 9 with an unlocked bootloader. It’s not too difficult

Look up the recent drama with Asus. They halted their bootloader unlockong server (which should exist) since mid-last year.

Oh shit I missed that news completely. I got mine in April and rooted it right away. Thanks for the heads up. I’m going to block updates and really avoid a full reset
