How about the bootloader unlock?
Exactly. Cmon Asus, you got a sale if you just allow unlocking again.
I find it pretty objectionable that they have to allow it. The correct way to do bootloader unlocking is to enable a setting on the device, run
fastboot oem unlockfrom a connected PC, and confirm on the device. The manufacturer should never know or care that it happened.Too late for me, been keeping up with and wanting to order a zenfone 10 since it came out but just ordered a nothing phone 2 since my s20 broke a few weeks ago.
Even if Asus doesn’t allow a bootloader unlock, the community should find a way. I was able to unlock and relock my bootloader for the ROG Phone II using unofficial tools from the community.
Although now I just picked a phone that has the longest support that is available in my area. As with everything, with more age comes less time to fuck around configuring your PCs and smartphones.
yes! i have no reason to ever consider another asus while they have it all locked down.

Uncertain software support is why I picked a P8p over that device, even when I prefer it’s hardware over the P8p.
Untrue, the Zenfone 9 is also getting android 14, that may be it’s last major update. Zenf10 should be set for android 15 as well. Zenf8 is on adroid 13 and got a security update in october, so things are looking decent imho.

No feature fomo for old phones, as long as the thing you are used to stays secure ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ah that sucks, I started with the zenfone 8 and seeing the market and how much I use my headphone jack, I sincerely hope Asus gets their update act together before I need to upgrade. What did you switch to?

I hope they keep making this series. I love small phones but I don’t need an upgrade from my s10e yet.
I was looking for a small phone and the zenfone 10 and s23 base variant were my picks, they ticked almost all the boxes. I ended up getting the s23 because of better software support and the availability issues with the zenfone 10 in my region.
I just wish the s23 had better custom rom support from the community and a sd card slot.
Zenfone is a decent but larger that the s10e. It’s about the size of the regular S
Pretty much everything is getting larger than the s10e. I’d really rather something the size of my original Galaxy S/Nexus One, but besides some boutique phone from Unihertz, etc, there aren’t any better options.
You know what i didnt recieve. The fucking bootloader unlock tool
Reminder that Xiaomi at least allows you to unlock your phone (albeit after 1 week of waiting), and they have decent ROM support.
