In the smartphone market, Asus’ approach is to focus on two niches. As a result, the manufacturer has two ranges, ROG Phone and Zenfone. If the first is gaming-oriented, the second is more focused on the compact side. For the 2023 winter sales, Fnac and Darty are selling the 8 + 128 GB version at 699 euros instead of 799 euros.
Unlike other manufacturers who develop a model for each segment, Asus’ positioning is quite clever. With its Zenfone range, the firm is tackling an ultimately less competitive market: compact smartphones. The latest model of this version is the Asus Zenfone 9. For the winter sales 2023, you can have the 8 + 128 GB version 100 euros less.
Why is the Asus Zenfone 9 interesting?
- The powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1
- A 120 Hz AMOLED panel
- Video recording at 8K @24 fps
Instead of the usual 799 euros, the Asus Zenfone 9 is now available on sale at 699 euros at Fnac and Darty.

Asus Zenfone 9 at the best price?
A reference on compacts
With each generation, Asus always manages to keep the DNA of the Zenfone models, ie a compact, ergonomic, powerful smartphone with a good finish. The Zenfone 9 thus takes on a sober design with rounded edges. The grip will be pleasant with its 68.1 x 146.5 x 9.1 mm for 169 g. To enhance its ergonomics, the back is made of polymer plastic. The smartphone does not risk slipping through your fingers or leaving fingerprints.
The other advantage of this model, apart from its compact size, concerns the screen. For this iteration, we have a 5.9-inch AMOLED panel which displays 2,400 x 1,080 pixels of definition (Full HD +) and a density of 445 dpi. This gives a particularly deep black and infinite contrast. Added to this is an adaptive refresh rate of 120 Hz. Suffice to say that the fluidity will be daily on this smartphone.
A compact with premium features
Underneath the Asus Zenfone 9 hides a monster of power, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor combined with the Adreno 730 graphics chip. We also have 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM, with 128 GB of ROM. No game, even the most greedy, will be able to undermine such a configuration. It is even the most powerful in its category. You can calmly and comfortably go about your daily tasks with this smartphone.
Despite its small format, the Zenfone 9 has a 4,300 mAh battery which is durable. With extensive use, this model will last the day well and in standard use, it is around a day and a half. If Asus has skipped wireless charging on this smartphone, you can recover 100% of your battery in 1h15. Finally, the main photo sensor is 50 Mpx against 12 Mpx for the front photo module. They do the work.
