The Asus Zenfone 10 is here to show Apple everything it did wrong with the iPhone mini (RIP), and while I know that phone had its fans, the simple truth is that it came up short in several regards compared to real flagship phones — most notably battery life.
Despite its small stature, the Zenfone 10 will outlast the majority of its flagship rivals with nearly 13 hours of battery life in its default settings. You might be thinking, “What kind of middling CPU did they drop in there to putter along for that many hours?” The Zenfone 10 might slap you for that question if it weren’t so polite, but it features the current pinnacle of Android performance: the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. It doesn’t stop there, the pint-size wunderkind also packs up to 16GB of RAM if you want to leave all of your apps running just because you can.
