ASUS ZenFone 9, we’re almost there: launch date revealed | Official
ASUS ZenFone 9 arrives on July 28th: the Taiwanese company has officially confirmed it in the past few hours. The presentation will be streamed on various ASUS social channels, including YouTube. There are also apparently presence events in various parts of the world – New York, Berlin and Taipei are cited. Time X is set for ours 15:00.
As you can see below, the invitation doesn’t add many details about the device itself: there is however a front image of the smartphone, which highlights a display with a hole for the camera in the upper left corner and a rather pronounced “chin” compared to it. to the rest. As we know, and as the teaser anticipates, it will be one compact smartphone.
In fact, we know a lot more than that. In the past few days, ASUS has accidentally communicated a lot of salient details by publishing a promotional video on YouTube.
