The Asus ZenFone 10 is expected to launch soon as the successor to the Asus ZenFone 9 that launched in July 2022. The Taiwan-based smartphone maker is expected to unveil the rumored ZenFone 10 later this year in Q4. Ahead of the announcements, Asus seems to have revealed the price of the smartphone in a blip. The phone will likely be powered by Qualcomm’s latest and fastest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset yet. It’s also expected to feature a 200-megapixel main camera sensor on the rear.
The Taiwanese smartphone maker recently released one test site to get reviews from users about the camera features of the upcoming Asus Zenfone 10. Users are invited to vote on a series of image comparisons and indicate which one they prefer and why. Participants in the test are eligible for a raffle to win a free ZenFone 10 model after launch.
However, in the Terms and Conditions section of this test site, Asus seems to have revealed the price of the upcoming ZenPhone 10 in the US. The Company describes the Sweepstakes as follows: “ASUS is providing a total of three (3) Zenfone 10 as prizes in this Promotion (each a “Prize”). Each prize has an approximate retail value of $749.”
It is therefore speculated that the base model of the ZenFone 10 (storage specs unspecified) will be priced at $749 (roughly Rs 61,900). Notably, the base 8GB + 128GB variant of the Asus ZenFone 9 was launched at a market price of EUR 799 (about Rs 64,800). The phone was also launched with 8GB + 256GB and 16GB + 256GB storage options and is offered in Midnight Black, Moonlight White, Sunset Red and Starry Blue color variants.
A Geekbench listing of the Asus ZenFone 10 previously suggested the phone would be powered by an eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of onboard storage. The handset is expected to run Android 13 out of the box.
The Asus ZenFone 10 is also expected to feature a 6.3-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, with the screen size reportedly being significantly larger than the previous model’s 5.9-inch AMOLED panel. The phone is said to come with a 200-megapixel main camera sensor on the back and is expected to have an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
