It was confirmed in earlier materials and from Asus itself that the Zenfone 10 will carry over the compact form factor of its predecessor. At the same time, it should also receive several upgrades in terms of the exterior and interior, including thinner bezels and new colorways for the device. However, it is only in the most recent report that we learned Asus will include the beloved audio interface.

Asus Zenfone 10 retains the 3.5 mm audio port
Courtesy of tipster Roland Quandt and WinFuture, the fresh photos provide few surprises. Upon closer inspection, one of the shots showed the top side of the Zenfone 10 housing a microphone and a headphone jack. It could be noted that the location of the audio port is almost identical to the Zenfone 9 that Benjamin reviewed and is closer in terms of specifications compared to the Sony Xperia 1 V, which is another headphone-equipped flagship.
More than the audio jack, the Asus Zenfone 10 is widely expected to feature a 200 MP main camera, next-generation stabilization, wireless charging, and a larger battery, which could eventually further improve the battery life on the handset. In addition, it will be powered by an Android 13 OS and fitted with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.
There were already clues in Asus’s feedback program that the Zenfone 10 could be cheaper than the Zenfone 9. The successor could command a $750 price tag for the base configuration, which is $50 less than last year’s compact handset.
