ASUS accidentally leaks ZenFone 10 price

The ASUS Zenfone 9 was one of the best compact phones released last year, with great performance, great cameras and surprisingly good battery life for its size. ASUS hopes to follow up with the Zenfone 10 this year, hoping to capture some of the same magic from the predecessor. There may be some good news on the horizon for ASUS fans, as prices for the Zenfone 10 have leaked direct from ASUS and may be cheaper than expected.

ASUS recently launched a website to allow blind testing of the Zenfone 10’s camera. The website invites users to vote on a set of photos, and the feedback received will help fine-tune the upcoming phone’s camera. Users are also entering a raffle to win a Zenfone 10 after it launches.

Eagle-eyed enthusiast Wichaya Poka noticed that the terms and conditions on the website listed the estimated retail value of the Zenfone 10 at $749.

C. ASUS is offering a total of three (3) Zenfone 10 as prizes of this Promotion (each a “Prize”). Each prize has an estimated retail value of USD 749.

The wording leaves room for a different price point, but it’s safe to conclude that ASUS will stick around the Zenfone 9’s launch prices and won’t do anything drastically different. Usually phones given out as rewards from promotional contests are the base variant, so we can hope to see the Zenfone 10 start at $749 if ASUS’s own words are to be believed.

The Zenfone 9 was priced at $699 for the base 8GB/128GB version, $749 for the 8GB/256GB version and $799 for the 16GB/256GB version. The leaked pricing for the Zenfone 10 doesn’t mention the RAM or storage variant so we can’t conclude whether the phone will see a price hike as previous leaks have stated that the phone will come with 16GB RAM and options of 256GB and 512GB internal storage .

The Zenfone 10 is expected to come with a larger 6.3-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and a 200MP primary camera with OIS as its main features. The phone is expected to have a battery capacity of 5,000 mAh with support for 67W fast charging, and possibly an IP68 rating as well. We’ll have to wait a few more months for the phone to launch and see which of these specs come out.

Thanks to Wichaya Poka for the tip!
