OK, it looks like they took the Zenfone 9 (which I've been using for the last year or so) and gave it minimal upgrades. Fair enough.

Here are the things that they didn't change that they should have, IMHO:

- camera holes in the screen are incredibly annoying. Put them in a bezel or a pop-out.

- the side-mounted fingerprint reader/power button is far too happy to unlock, and then start scrolling. "Pocket mode" doesn't improve things.

- I'd accept it being twice as thick if it had a replaceable battery.

- There's 16GB of RAM and a decent CPU. Why not upgrade the USB-C port to run a monitor?
