That’s the “retail value” of the Asus Zenfone 10, mind you, which almost certainly means that’s how much the device will cost in the US in an entry-level configuration when it eventually makes its commercial debut.
At worst, we think it could get a revision of around 50 bucks (either up or down), but that’s about it. The Zenfone 9, remember, launched at a slightly lower price of $699.99 stateside with 128GB storage and 8 gigs of RAM, the former detail of which could be upgraded to 256GB for the most affordable Zenfone 10 model, thus explaining the small retail value increase.
The battery capacity will reportedly be boosted accordingly from 4,300 to 5,000mAh, with 67W fast charging support in tow this time around, and instead of a 50MP primary snapper, the next-gen Asus flagship could adopt a positively mind-blowing 200MP main camera.
