                  @abctoz: I can't find any BRAND NEW iPhone for $300. I hope it has 6 inch screen, 4000 mAh+ battery, AMOLED Screen (needs lots of contrast), and a warranty (+ ACL protection) by the manufacturer. Oh, that's a Motorola Edge 30 Neo……….

                      I guess you ditch the $89 Android Phone for a $200 iPhone.

                      We are here to help each other to find a bargain, if you can't even provide a link to back yourself up (an $300 brand new iPhone on eBay), maybe you can look for more cheap Android phone to buy at BigW instead.

                        who cares about cost performance

                        if you’re smart/sad enough to check my history you should be able to sus out which phone im talking about, add a new in front of the search instead of writing garbage retorts

              @abctoz: Used (with Scratches / Dents) vs Brand New with Warranty.
              It's like comparing a 15 years Camry vs a Brand New Corolla…..and you will tell me Camry is Faster and Cheaper so it is better.

              • abctoz on 31/10/2023 - 20:48

                @bobokingdom: except the 15 year old Camry is inexplicably faster and more advanced for a quarter of the price

                phones don’t die anyway still have original nexus it has alzheimers but still works what you need warranty for, it’s a tax for the benefits of idiots

                    @MrFunSocks: can you find me a second hand android phone of comparable value? I can tell you right now you can’t, because their flagships are currently the speed of a $200 iphone

                    it’s astounding how people’s sense of value is for a supposed bargain community

                    it’s more like koolaid advertising central here

                    • bobokingdom on 01/11/2023 - 22:11

                      @abctoz: As said by many people, SPEED is not the only factor in choosing a phone. Screen Size, Eco-System, Warranty…etc are other important factors. Also, a lot of people will not touch a 2nd hand phone no matter the cost.

                      Just because it is Cheap and Fast, it may not be the best choice for everyone. McDonald's is fast and maybe the cheapest way to get high calories food, it doesn't mean it suits everyone.

                      Instead of promoting $200 used and beat up iPhones, why not look for other bargains and share with the others? You may feel better as you won't get -ve votes for EVERY comments.

                        but you’re right I should be confirming to peer pressure like a good automaton droid instead of making my own mind up

                      @abctoz: I bought a Pixel 6 Pro + Pixel watch from a friend for $200 the other week - does that mean that I can say Pixel 6 Pros are $200?

                      • abctoz on 02/11/2023 - 13:15

                        @MrFunSocks: you can but they’re much slower than a $200 iPhone

                        it’s a simple cost performance relationship not rocket science

    Ordered one finally - had been eyeing one since June (even last night!), missed out on September promo as I was overseas. Finally.

    Been using the Zenfone 9 for the past 1-2 months since the last deal. Had to return the first one because it had some weird cluster of scratches under the screen (was very difficult to return too because JB didn't believe me…). The first one also had fairly average screen calibration. The replacement screen has way better colours although despite being an AMOLED display it just doesn't look as good as my previous AMOLED display. At least the smaller screen really helps the lower pixel count mid-range phones have nowadays. Another complaint would be the peak brightness is borderline when out and about. It's usable but only just.

    Overall, I still love the phone. The battery lasts 2 days with moderate to heavy usage. It never gets hot or overheats even while gaming. Speaking of gaming, the processor is insanely fast. You can put the phone in high performance mode, and it barely has any impact on the battery life. I've been playing FF7 Ever Crisis on it and it never dips below the 30fps cap while staying below 30C and rarely going over 60% GPU usage, which makes me think it could handle 60fps quite easily. Also, the Asus skin is very minor and it almost feels like a stock Android phone which is great.

    • dottjt on 26/10/2023 - 21:48

      How's the camera on it compared to flagship phones?

      • Kermitanz on 27/10/2023 - 09:34

        I moved from a Pixel 6 pro to this phone and while it definitely doesn't stand up to the Pixel, its still very good and definitely passable especially for this price.

        It actually came third in MKBHD's 2022 blind photo comp last year, behind the Pixel 7 & 6a.

      • Yuri Lowell on 27/10/2023 - 09:42

        The camera is definitely the weak point. It's comparable to mid-range phones (I'd say it's as good as my Mi Lite 11 5G NE). It has a gimbal though. Overall, I'm fairly happy with the camera but don't go in expecting flagship quality.

  • dottjt on 26/10/2023 - 21:47

    Do these phones have good cameras?

    • hippo2s on 26/10/2023 - 23:51

      YouTube MKBHD blind camera test 2022. Then his video on phone of the year. You'll be sold.

      In short. It placed 3rd right after Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 Pro in blind photo preference testing with his audience. So yes very good camera.

  • tch on 26/10/2023 - 22:24

    Any good custom ROMs working on the Zenphone 9 similar to Lineageos or Pixel Experience? See a few other roms on XDA but not sure of their interfaces. Rarely only care about being able to root with Google Wallet, ability to slide notification bar to adjust brightness and being able fast forward and rewind with volume buttons when screen is off.

    • Wonderfool on 27/10/2023 - 07:06

      Normally, good custom ROMs appear after a phones official support cycle ends. Especially for Asus phones that are already relatively stock

      • tch on 27/10/2023 - 07:53

        Maybe for these kinds of phones but I see a lot that have them very early on because the ROM developers are fans of the brand (Xiaomi comes to mind).

        • Wonderfool on 27/10/2023 - 08:10
          +1

          That's because Xiaomi's own rom are straight up garbage, so it's an automatic flash for most people. Heck, people have so little trust in xiaomi, that xiaomi.eu is Xiaomi's rom without all the extra spywares, and almost automatically supported in every Xiaomi's phone first week.

          • tch on 27/10/2023 - 08:54

            @Wonderfool: Could say that is a risk for many brands depending on where they're manufactured. Developers are also fans of some of the brands because the hardware is relatively cheap.

            • Wonderfool on 27/10/2023 - 09:12

              @tch: We're in agreement. The big reason why brands like Xiaomi can sell their phone relatively cheap is because they have their own app shop, adware, and until recently, sell your data to taiga.

              Hence why we custom rom them. So we enjoy the benefit of cheap hardware without the software issues

  • hippo2s on 03/11/2023 - 13:28

    ugh… ordered a week ago and still waiting…. order being fullfilled from Tassie! via cheap-o-parcel-post. Trying to order another one and the only way is fly 1500km to Mackay/Cairns to click and collect.
