Manufacturer Asus presented a new high-end smartphone this week with the Zenfone 9. As with the predecessor, Asus also relies on compact dimensions for the new Zenfone. The device weighs 169 grams and is supposed to fit comfortably in the hand at 146.5 x 68.1 x 9.1 millimeters. The AMOLED screen measures 5.9 inches and has a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 pixels. The maximum refresh rate is 120 Hz. Gorilla Glass Victus is designed to protect the display from scratches.
Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 and multiple memory executions
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 works in the case of the Zenfone 9. The smartphone will be available in three different memory versions. Model number one offers eight gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of internal memory and the second model comes with eight gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes of internal memory, the third model offers 16 gigabytes of RAM and 265 gigabytes of internal memory. There is no additional slot for memory cards.
Gimbal handles image stabilization
Similar to the smartphones from Vivo, Asus has installed a 6-axis gimbal in the dual camera on the back of the Zenfone 9, which is intended to replace the optical image stabilizer. The main camera, which has a resolution of 50 megapixels, benefits from the gimbal. The second lens is a super wide-angle camera with twelve megapixels. The front camera also has a resolution of twelve megapixels.
