![]() The back of the Zenfone 9 looks and feels fantastic. The two large cameras are set inside metal rings to give the back some identity, and I really like the light grey text, numbers, and shapes used around them. The unusual material has a unique, almost textile-like texture - and unlike glass or metal, it won’t collect fingerprints or smudges. It’s extremely convenient to slip the phone into a pocket and forget it’s there.ĭespite the flat sides, the new polymer rear panel has been curved nicely at the edge, so the phone never digs into your palm or fingers. The light weight is also beneficial, as there is absolutely no fatigue when using the Zenfone 9 for long periods of time. That said, it’s extremely convenient to slip the phone into a pocket and forget it’s there, and to use the entirety of the operating system with my thumb as I hold the phone in one hand. I’ll be honest at this point and say the Zenfone 9 (and its contemporaries mentioned above) are too small for my own personal liking, but I appreciate others will feel differently. If the 6-inch Google Pixel 5 was your last ideally-sized phone, then the Zenfone 9 may suit you as it is less wide, only 2mm taller, and about 15 grams heavier. The screen is slightly smaller than the iPhone 13 and S22 at 5.9-inches. This makes it a few millimeters less wide than the iPhone 13 and the Galaxy S22, and about the same height, but the slab-like design makes it thicker than both at 9.1mm. ![]() The result is the Zenfone 9 weighs 169 grams, it’s 68mm wide, and 146mm tall. This time, the company has used a squared-off shape and right-angle corners to ensure it can pack as much inside the phone as possible, and turned to aluminum for the frame and a polymer material rather than glass on the rear panel to reduce weight. The Zenfone 9’s size follows Asus’s own directive of making a smartphone that’s less than 70mm wide and under 150mm tall to make it perfect for one-handed use, which began with the anonymous and rather overlooked Zenfone 8.
