. . . . . . By the way, you should have seen the sad news that the title is really sad. The Zenfone 10 in our hands was sprayed directly during the test , and it was sprayed to death on the gravel road of the Demon King level. So this should be wrong in Taiwan , or even the world's first Zenfone 10, did it explode or not? Let 's continue to read . In 2019, ASUS mobile phones are becoming more and more stable, walking their own pace and targeting a clear audience, such as the ROG Phone series. When it comes to gaming phones, and they are the top gaming and entertainment phones in all aspects, you can take out ROG Phone 6, ROG Phone 7 everyone There must be no opinion. The stability of the performance is the top. Although the Zenfone series is not like the strategy of the past one-year-old mobile phone, it has been quite successful in the field of small mobile phones in the past two or three years , especially in the field of small mobile phones. I don’t think he can only look at the Taiwan market. Friends who follow the Japanese and European mobile phone circles know that especially Japanese small mobile phones have a very loyal supporter in the mobile phone circle, and they are even prominent in the machine circle. So let’s look at the data. According to ASUS According to the information provided last year, the Zenfone 9 was fully converted to the small mobile phone line. Don’t look at his small one. Zenfone 9’s sales in the global market have increased by about 20%, and it has won many evaluations of the best small mobile phones. The focus is on the Taiwan market. Attracting more young friends and users from other camps to switch to Zenfone is actually quite reasonable. After all, we said that the keyword that small phones used to be accompanied by is compromise , and everyone knows that the Asus mobile phone department has always been crazy. All kinds of good things are stuffed into the Zenfone 9 and the Zenfone 10 we are going to unbox today . If you are looking for a model under 6 inches that is strong enough in all aspects, then the Zenfone 9 is no surprise . The best choice , so I think ROG Phone and Zenfone have a good audience and battlefield in recent years. After all, how does Zenfone 10, which also maintains a small size and high performance design this year, perform? Let’s continue to look at this year’s Zenfone 10. The product positioning is almost the same as that of Zenfone 9. It is to create a mobile phone with full specifications under the premise of the ultimate hand feeling. Like Zenfone 10, it is directly equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8, which is currently the best choice and is known as the savior of the Android camp. The Gen 2 memory is also directly filled to the 16GB 4300mAh battery. The vapor chamber is used for cooling the flagship specification. The main camera continues the six-axis anti-shake Hybrid that appeared in the previous generation. The gimbal is upgraded to a six-axis anti-shake. The name of Hybrid gimbal 2.0 is really long enough. The key point is that the final weight is controlled within 172 grams for a 5.9-inch body, so let’s first look at the ID design. I will only focus on this year’s Zenfone 10 and 9 as a whole. It is still relatively close. I think the main improvement after using it for the past few days is to solve two small problems that existed in the previous generation. One is the back cover . The back cover of the previous generation is very comfortable to the touch. However , relative to this kind of material, everyone knows that it will be more difficult to clean up after being stained with oil, so this generation of ASUS has adopted a new coating in five colors , especially this time my favorite white . It is easy to get dirty , so they also used a very thick coating this time to effectively improve the anti-fouling performance. In addition, there are a total of five colors this time, which are midnight black and meteorite blue, which are well-received by everyone in the previous generation, and the newly added Intercontinental . There are three options: green, eclipse red, and comet white. This time, each color is really adjusted well, but comet white is still the most popular among the five colors. The pure white is beautiful, and the second place. I might choose meteorite blue or intercontinental green . This time, the three new colors of ASUS also use more environmentally friendly bio-based materials. Lastly, this time Zenfone 10 also continues the IP68 dustproof and waterproof design. I think the existence of waterproof is not for you to take it into the water for shooting , but for everyday life. You can use a mobile phone more worry-free, like accidentally spilling a drink, you don’t have to worry about sudden rain, and you don’t have to worry about water-resistance if you put your phone in your pants. The most important thing in daily life is to make you use it with more peace of mind. The buttons of this phone are concentrated on the right side of the power button , which is designed with fingerprint recognition and can be unlocked directly by putting it on I remember the last generation we said that the power button had cut hands on the edge, so they should have adjusted the manufacturing process after seeing our video last year. The power button of this generation is very flat and the tolerance is smaller. It feels smooth and does not cut hands. In order to publicly praise the carefulness of ASUS PM here, I said that if you have any suggestions, you are welcome to leave a message under our channel. They will definitely have a chance to see it. To be honest, I really like the design of Zenfone 9. I will change the past . Zenfone has a more technological and cold impression. Starting from Zenfone 9, both the design and material details are more refined , but it is a pity. I still think that narrowing the front screen frame will be something that the next generation of ASUS needs to take into account . This generation has no way. The screen is not flexible OLED , so it is the narrowest on the chin. Well, it’s time to face the first fall in Taiwan . At that time, we actually changed the soundtrack. At that time, we actually wanted to test the anti-shake. The phone turned out to be directly from The top of the fixture was sprayed , but since it was all sprayed, let’s take a passive look at the results of the drop test. At that time, it was about the height of a normal hand-held and it fell directly on the stone road, so it is quite valuable to see the results . The first one dropped from memory. The point of impact is that the upper part falls first. You can see that the main frame on the upper right corner is not deformed structurally, and the paint is a little off. But normally at this height and the stone road, there must be some damage. There are also scratches on the rear cover and side frame on the left. Then the phone rolled on the floor with the front side facing down. Is the screen broken? Let’s wait until we find out. There is also a little scratch on the lower left corner. Let’s turn it over and it’s not broken. Congratulations! It seems that the Corning Victus used in the Zenfone 10 really lives up to its reputation . The strongest part of this series when it was advertised is that it has better impact resistance than the previous generations when it is dropped on the asphalt road . We have also tested the operation of this screen camera and everything is normal. But despite this, we will responsibly buy this phone (already proposed) and it will not cause trouble to friends who borrowed our phone. I also publicly say sorry here , it just flew out of my hand , but at least let us know about Zenfone 10 I dropped my phone at a height of more than 100 centimeters, and it didn’t break when I dropped it on a rocky road. Don’t you see a super thank you ? It’s just a matter of luck with the angle. Don’t install it in the iron-tooth box. It’s also very sincere. It comes with a protective case and a 30W charger. In terms of body configuration, Zenfone 10 still retains the advanced 3.5mm jack slot on the top. The bottom of the fuselage adopts a double-sided dual-SIM card design but does not support MicroSD card expansion. Yes , this generation of ASUS also retains the ZenTouch operation logic and upgrades it to ZenTouch 2.0 . For example, you can choose to double-click to open the Google Assistant, take a screenshot, switch the flashlight, etc. There are dozens of customization options , and it is OK to open a specific app. The other is the sliding control, such as sliding down, you can pull down the top menu, slide up to go back , or rearrange the page, YouTube, fast forward, rewind, music playback, pause, etc. This time they also added a new feature called Easy Snapshot. Just press the volume button twice and the system will automatically turn on the camera and automatically snap three photos. It may come in handy when snapping. Then we see the camera this time in Zenfone The biggest highlight of the 10 is the super-large main lens , and it is not puffy because its main lens uses a 1/1.56-inch Sony IMX766 photosensitive element, which is the same group as the previous generation Sensor and also uses six axes. The anti-shock Hybrid gimbal has been upgraded to 2.0. It has been introduced in the previous generation. Simply put, the hardware of the micro gimbal with a larger displacement range will also be stronger in anti-shock performance. You can see it through our screen . The photosensitive element of Zenfone 10 is already big , so it is easy to observe. With the addition of the micro-head, the corrected displacement range is still very impressive. The following one has a new sensor with a 13 million ultra-wide-angle lens. ASUS has not released further specification information. However, according to our side knowledge , the OV solution adopted will also be stronger than the previous generation in terms of light input. We can see the truth from the actual measurement , but this set of ultra-wide-angle does not support the macro function. At the same time, the special place on the camera this time is still the same . It is anti-shake related functions. We all know that ASUS has used hardware with stronger anti-shake capabilities in Zenfone 9. In fact, you can observe that your hand will still shake slightly even if you hold it firmly . This Shake is corrected by OIS optical anti-shake for you, and the larger the range of this correction, the higher the error tolerance rate , especially when shooting videos at night, so simply speaking, when your hands are shaken due to OIS models When the phone is turned down, the lens will be corrected upwards, and if the lens is turned to the left, it will be corrected to the right. So the ASUS gimbal solution is the same , but the displacement range is larger than OIS, which is stronger. The special thing about OIS this year is that they are on the software. It also brought evolution and introduced a set of smart anti-shake functions. Simply put, anti-shake can be divided into software and hardware. On the hardware, OIS optical anti-shake can maintain the picture stability , while on the software, it can The concept of EIS correction through EIS electronic anti-shake is very simple . It is to crop a part of the picture and then the system will align each frame in real time. It should be very clear after watching our animation , as long as the degree of shaking does not exceed the range of cropping Basically, the system can correct the alignment of the screen to achieve a stable state. In other words, the larger the cropping range, the larger the range that can be corrected, and the more stable the screen. This is the basic concept of EIS, so let’s talk about ASUS This time, this feature is used to launch a set of functions called smart anti-shake. Simply put, it is to feel the shaking range through the built-in gyroscope of the mobile phone. When you shake violently, it will pull the cropping degree to the maximum and crop more. More pictures keep the phone stable , and when your shaking becomes smaller, it will smoothly return the wide picture to you, and minimize the degree of cropping so that you can take more pictures. Here is a comparison. Everyone will understand that when the smart anti-shake is turned on, the system will adjust the strength of the anti-shake according to the shaking. We saw that the hand did not shake like this in the third second . The building in the upper left corner has three and a half floors to the twelfth second. When I shake my hands very hard, the system will automatically increase the cropping range to only one layer , and I think the best thing is that the cropping process is very smooth. If I didn’t take a screenshot to let everyone see the difference, you shouldn’t feel it. In fact, there is an increase in the cropping area , so ASUS’ smart anti-shake concept is pretty good. It can automatically provide the best anti-shake options according to different scenarios. Here we will demonstrate another set. This is the screen with super anti-shake enabled. And this is the screen with Smart Anti-Shake turned on. You can see that this group of Smart Images is obviously wider. The reason is that the traditional anti-shake method will preset a larger range to achieve better anti-shake in order to maintain the stability of the picture . ASUS’s smart anti-shake is different because it has the ability of intelligent judgment and real-time adjustment, so you can see that this group of pictures of smart anti-shake can give a wider picture under a normal degree of shaking , but when you shake strongly It will also automatically strengthen the anti-shake correction to give more pictures without sacrificing the anti-shake effect. By the way, let everyone see how strong the anti-shake of Zenfone 10 is through the clamp once. Take Pixel 7 and two Zenfone 10s, one with smart anti-shake turned on and one with anti-shake completely turned off. Then we shake vigorously and we can see that the Pixel 7 on the left has been shaken until all are afterimages. We know how strong it is, but at this time Zenfone 10 Even if EIS is turned off, the anti-shake relying only on OIS is still very very stable. Needless to say, the group in the middle is the most stable when the smart anti-shake is turned on. And we especially picked that the EIS algorithm can be seen when the light has begun to dim. Above a certain level of summary In a word, it’s not that complicated. You only need to choose the option of smart anti-shake when recording. You can enable this function up to 4K 60FPS and 8K 24FPS . The vibration function is only available under FHD 60FPS After watching the video , let’s see how Zenfone 10 performs in taking pictures . We also found the same positioning and very representative Pixel 7 to join the battle and also found the iPhone 14. Let ’s take a look at the performance of Zenfone 10 this year. Let’s first look at the first set of samples. The HDR performance of this year’s Zenfone 10 taken in Japan is good. The color tendency is naturally not too much. Take the cloudy sky in Taipei as a blue sky and zoom in to see the details. Zenfone The analysis ability of 10 is not too big a problem. Even compared with the S23 Ultra, which leapfrogs the level, it is still in the first echelon. We just look at the daily shooting. In fact, the current flagship is not likely to make mistakes. The main reason is the adjustment orientation. The difference is just The orientation of style and color understanding is different. Like this group of samples, the HDR in the dark part of Zenfone 10 this year is quite positive. You can see that the dark part of the tree at the edge of the upper right corner has returned. You can see that the edge quality is also at the same level when you look at the leaves. The above performance is the only one in the proofs taken this time. When facing the dense leaves in the sky, the Zenfone 10’s leaf block details have obvious mistakes and some slight purple fringes. Maybe you can adjust the HDR algorithm later. Portrait and super The wide-angle side also provides a few sets of samples for your reference. Let’s take a look at the night shots. This year’s Zenfone 10 is a bit of a surprise in the night shots. First, let’s look at the city night scenes under extremely low light sources. You can see the details in the dark parts. Zenfone 10 is absolutely perfect. Comparable to Pixel 7’s night scene mode, it even performs better in dark details. We leapfrog the performance of Zenfone 10 compared with Galaxy S23 Ultra, and it’s still above the standard. Let ’s look at another group here. Let’s zoom in to see the building. For details, I must say that this year’s Zenfone 10’s night scene analysis ability is really good. By the way, I would like to mention more about the ultra-wide-angle performance this time. It is also surprisingly good. Zoom in to see the architectural details. The performance of the iPhone 14 Pro has said many times that Apple’s ultra-wide-angle sensor should really be replaced. Even with the Galaxy S23 Ultra, I think Zenfone 10 can also compete. But then again, I think Zenfone 10 is stylized in night shots. It’s a bit obvious, just look at a set of proofs, and you’ll understand. In this set of proofs, you can see that the sky of Zenfone 10 is the bluest, the leaves are the greenest, and the degree of sharpening is the highest among the three. You can also zoom in to the wooden board to see Zenfone 10. The detail performance this time is really good, I’m not talking about it, but after all, this adjustment orientation is very personal preference. If you like this adjustment style , you should think of Zenfone at first glance in the first few sets of night shot samples. 10 It looks pretty good without retouching the night scene, and you can upload it to the community without any problem , but we still invite the Galaxy S23 Ultra for comparison, and you can see that the adjustment style of Zenfone 10 is indeed the most beautiful, and there will be less architecture. There is no right or wrong in the charm of the warm street lights at night, but at least I think the color style of ASUS this time is well-adjusted without losing points. Here, we will also provide a set of long-term night scene modes under extremely low light sources for your reference . The color orientation of Zenfone is exactly the same as mentioned above. Finally, here are a few sets of portrait samples for your reference. Overall , this year’s Zenfone 10’s main camera performance is stable. The daily shooting style is natural and the details are good. HDR is online but under the dense leaves. In the backlight scene, HDR restoration still has room for improvement. The color is beautiful and pleasing in the night shooting. The details have the performance of the first echelon of the flagship, but the style is clear and more personal preference. But at the same time, the adjustment is good-looking and you can upload it directly without retouching. The key point is super Changed to a new wide-angle sensor, although the macro is missing, but the detail performance in low light is impressive, reaching the performance of the flagship echelon. I think a machine with around 20,000 yuan has such a photo performance. I don’t think it’s regrettable to take people at night. The details are excellent. The color tone looks good , but I think there is still room for improvement in the portrait mode. Maybe we can introduce a higher second portrait night scene to enhance the portrait performance in low light. Currently, the portrait tone of the Zenfone 10 in the video is a bit too white, and the skin tone can be improved. Adjustment and optimization of real-time HDR under video recording further alleviates the problem of exposure jump when encountering light boxes or bright parts. For selfies, Zenfone 10 uses a set of selfie lenses arranged in RGBW to reduce the amount of light entering It is better than the previous RGGB. It has 32 million pixels. You can also activate the night mode to enhance low-light performance. In addition, the light trail photography mode that was still in beta last year, ASUS also officially started it this time. The best part of the light trail mode is that it does not You can shoot with a tripod and hold it in your hands, and you don’t need to learn how to set and press the shutter to make the magic happen . There are five modes of car tracks, light painting, flowing water, people, and meteor tracks. This time, because the time is limited, here are the samples of the car tracks for everyone. For reference, Zenfone 10 is not equipped with an optical zoom lens , but ASUS has introduced a set of image quality enhancement algorithms this year, which is officially called ultra-clear zoom. Let’s take a look at the proofs. Here’s a comparison with the Pixel 7, which also doesn’t have a telephoto lens , and has 3x. The optical telephoto iPhone 14 Pro, I think ASUS’s algorithm this year seems a bit out of the ordinary. It ’s quite usable if the light is sufficient up to five times. I’m looking forward to a good optimization. Next year there will be optical telephoto. By the way, lastly, ASUS has also introduced the new ISP function that Qualcomm has been emphasizing on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 , that is, instant semantic segmentation . Optimization, such as the adjustment method of blue sky and blue sky, the adjustment method of portrait and portrait, etc. ASUS calls AI image optimization. In addition to the special edition of Snpadragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, Zenfone 10 is also the first Snpadragon 8 equipped with this technology. Gen 2 model Then we see that the Zenfone 10 in Bonnie’s hands is equipped with the latest generation of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 memory, which is also equipped with 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 with a maximum storage space of 512GB. It should be noted that the top The standard version is limited to black and blue, and there are two options of 8 + 256 and 8 + 128. What's more special is that the three versions are all LPDDR5X plus UFS 4.0 specifications, so here comes the highlight. This 128GB is also UFS 4.0 , so Zenfone 10 should be the first mobile phone with 128GB UFS 4.0. After we understand that it adopts Kioxia’s latest solution, ASUS’s sincerity in this wave has reached the heat dissipation. Asus did not highlight this time, but the overall scale keeps up. The first generation is about the same and uses the latest technology of four-layer stacked boards. First, we can see that Geekbench 5 Zenfone 10 scored 1478 points in single core and 5150 points in multi -core. Compared with the single-core of Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 last year, the multi-core score has increased by about 12.7% . The improvement even came to 17%. In the GPU part, we also directly measured 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Zenfone 10 and scored 3687 points. Compared with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, the improvement reached 31.2% . If it is compared with 888, it has doubled by 2.41 times. Anyway, as long as it is an ASUS machine, I don’t think you need to worry too much about the release of peak performance, so the key point is to look at the actual performance in order to reduce the impact of the ambient temperature on the test results. All of Bonnie’s tests try to control the indoor temperature at around 26 degrees . The first thing to warm up is PUBG M's direct measurement of high-performance mode. The average frame rate reaches 59.8FPS in the HDR extreme frame rate of about 30 minutes. The whole process is running smoothly. The fuselage is only warm. The front is 36.5 degrees, and the back is 36.8 degrees . For Gen2, there is really no pressure , so the key point is power consumption. The previous generation Zenfone 9 also runs full under the same settings, but the average power consumption is 3.97W , which is actually a very good performance , while the average power consumption of this generation is only 3.03W . The power consumption is reduced by 31% under such a medium-loaded game , so Bonnie didn’t waste time and went directly to the performance test software Genshin. We tested it this time, which is one of the most loaded graphs of Genshin. Genshin Sumeru consecutively 30 Looking at the results in minutes , the average 45.6FPS under the highest image quality for 30 minutes of continuous play is about the same level as the slightly larger 6.1-inch Galaxy S23 45.8FPS and the 6.36-inch Mi 13 48.2FPS , but it can be seen The heat dissipation is really the bigger the volume, the easier it is to do. ASUS should try its best to achieve this performance under the 5.9-inch volume, but it can be seen that the Zenfone 10 can stabilize above 50FPS about 15 minutes ago, and then it starts to become more obvious. Frame drops , but at the same time , the power consumption is very low at this time, the average is only 4.24W, after all, it is not running seriously, but the temperature is still 41.6 degrees on the front and 42.5 degrees on the back. The material allows this screen to reach a maximum of 144Hz when playing games, which is higher than last year’s 120Hz. However, considering that 144Hz will also consume more power , this mode can only be unlocked in game scenarios. Finally, let’s take a look at 3Dmark Wild Life. Extreme 20 rounds of stress testing, Zenfone 10 final stability achieved 69.8% in the high performance mode, and the highest temperature on the back also reached 47.5 degrees. The heat still exists when running , so when you look back at ROG Phone 7, you will find its performance and cooling performance are really incredible, but the positioning of the two cannot be compared. The main reason is to let everyone feel the difference. In the part of battery life, Zenfone 10 This year’s performance is still good. The 4300mAh battery is still full under this volume. In 120Hz mode, it scored 10 hours and 42 minutes. Under 60Hz, it can reach 13 hours and 14 minutes. Daily use is not too much. The big problem , but what I can share with you is that Zenfone 10 actually has an option called Smart Adjustment in the system. This option will mainly use 90Hz in most sliding scenes. In terms of charging performance, Zenfone 10 also supports 30W fast charging. In Bonnie’s charging test, it can be fully charged to 60% in 30 minutes. It takes 1 hour and 19 minutes to fully charge . Overall, the first 30 minutes is a little faster than last year, but it is fully charged. The time is almost exactly the same. It is worth mentioning that ASUS also provides a 15W wireless charging function on the Zenfone 10 this time. I am quite used to wireless charging before going to bed. This time, the battery protection option on the Zenfone 10 is still Give it a full charge, schedule charging, follow the time set by the alarm clock, fully charge before getting up, and slow charging can slow down the charging speed , set the upper limit of charging to protect the battery, etc. The functions that everyone likes are also reserved, and in the system . Although the operation logic is close to the original, there are still many useful functions of ASUS, such as you can switch between the original and ASUS optimized operation interface , or use various gestures to swipe with three fingers to take screenshots , game control center, etc. It promises to provide 2 years of system updates and 4 years of security updates. Finally, we see audio-visual entertainment. This time on Zenfone 10, ASUS still uses a FHD+ 120Hz upper left opening screen. Like Zenfone 9, it is an E4 AMOLED supplied by Samsung . Don’t underestimate the fact that Zenfone 10 only has FHD, because Zenfone 10 is still a 5.9-inch screen, so the pixel density is not low, reaching 445ppi, which is fine enough for the naked eye. After our actual measurement, the full white maximum brightness of this screen can reach 800 nits, and the peak brightness can reach 1000 nits. In terms of color performance, Zenfone 10 also provides the best natural theater standard four-speed selection. In the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate review, we have explained the meaning of the four modes in detail. I won’t go into details here. A table of color gamut coverage is provided for everyone to refer to in a simple sentence . The adjustments of the natural and optimal modes are more in line with the style that pleases everyone's eyeballs . If you want accurate screen performance, the standard and theater modes correspond to sRGB and sRGB respectively. The mainstream image standard DCI-P3, we also measure the color accuracy in the preset mode. First, the standard mode corresponding to sRGB. The actual measurement result Delta E is 1.06. A value less than 2 is an excellent performance. And the performance of theater mode corresponding to P3 is also very accurate. Delta E is close to 1.18. In vernacular, the two modes are top-level display performance. The standard and theater modes should be selected according to the usage scene. In terms of sound effects, Zenfone 10 is also equipped this time. It has dual speakers and DIRAC is also used for tuning. In addition, this time it also supports DIRAC’s Dirac Virtuo spatial audio technology. Both wired and Bluetooth headsets can provide a more immersive sound experience. Overall, I think this year’s Zenfone 10 is not a big change. The first generation , but it is an evolutionary generation model based on the same basis , and I think it is better than the previous generation in terms of day and night shooting adjustment of the camera, and has more understanding of style, image color , but I think that since we are going to start out As for the style, ASUS really needs to start thinking about continuity. We will actually review many mobile phones in a year. There are flagship high-end mid-range and entry-level ones. You can feel that each brand has its own color palette style and image color , so in fact, we have almost mastered it. If you know who the players are , you can roughly guess which brand is the ability to shoot. Therefore, the continuation of the adjustment is very important to maintain your style and tell your own story. I think this is where the Zenfone series can be more refined. In terms of performance and battery life In terms of performance, I think it can achieve the best performance at this level. The hardware is also full of sincerity. If I really want to say that I have three main expectations for the next generation. One screen can be upgraded. They are all directions of improvement. Second, taking pictures. I think the anti-shake of video recording has benefited from the 2.0 Hybrid gimbal is also very strong, but more effort can be spent on the color adjustment of video recording. In the end, I wanted to say Improve the charging speed , but compared to this, I think ASUS has a lot of products. It is really time to think about the possibility of integrating all products into an ecosystem. I know that it is actually doing it, but ASUS, I believe you can do better. Okay. The program of this episode is here first. In this episode, we have also tested all the key points as much as possible within a limited time. If you have any questions, please leave a message below. Welcome to directly sponsor us to complete by joining the channel membership or the super thank you button Thank you for more practical test programs with reference value. I am a donkey , so we will see you in the next video. The last time is to listen to a part of the external test.
