Further, in the camera department, the Zenfone 9 will feature a large dual camera module on the back with gimble stabilization. The device is said to feature a Sony IMX766 main camera, which is a 50MP sensor and we have seen this on the Nothing Phone (1), ASUS ROG Phone 6, Nord 2T, and more devices in recent times. The primary lens is expected to feature optical image stabilization as well.
In the battery department, the next-gen Zenfone will come with a 4,300mAh battery, which is an upgrade from the last year’s 4,000mAh battery on the Zenfone 8/8Z. We can expect the device to come with 65W fast charge support. The leaked video confirms the presence of the headphone jack, making it one of the few if not the only flagship to do so. Other features will include IP68 dust and water resistance, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a dual speaker setup, and multiple colour options. Lastly, as for the pricing the phone is expected to start somewhere around €800-900, which is around Rs 64,700 – 72,800.
