I'm impressed they kept the form factor and the headphone jack

Downgraded ultrawide and selfie cameras, upgraded SoC, added 15W wireless charging, slightly better battery life, same display bezels as the ones in Zenfone 8 and 9. Pretty underwhelming release to say the least. At least they bumped the security update years to 4 years, but OS upgrades is still at 2 years.

nice to see the security update change, but damn those 2 years of OS updates suck 🤦‍♂️

Damn I didn't know they were on Sony levels of OS support suckage

Does it matter tho? I am currently on android 9 and I have yet to find something that dosent work on this version. Longer security updates are much more Important than the os ones.

The 2 years OS upgrade is ridiculous and a complete deal breaker for me.

as a zenfone 9 owner, i can't justify upgrading. in some areas the 10 is actually a downgrade. but the 10 is a nice device for new buyers, glad asus kept the 5,9" form factor.
