The Zenfone 9 is Asus’ latest mainstream, non-gaming smartphone, and one of the very few to come with a top-of-the-line chipset in a very compact form factor. As such, it is an intriguing device, which we explored in depth in our review. But we haven’t literally explored its depths, opening it up to see everything inside.
We don’t do this kind of thing, but YouTube channel PBK Reviews it does, and it’s back with another teardown / teardown video today, starring the Zenfone 9 as you might have imagined. The phone is ripped into small pieces and then reassembled again, and despite its small size compared to most devices these days, the parts aren’t tiny – they’re normal sized. Who would have thought that, right?
To enter the Zenfone 9, you enter through the plastic back, which must first come off, then there are many screws to take care of and then, one by one, all the components come out. Eventually the laptop gets a repairability score of 4.5 out of 10.
While many people go to the internet to say how much they love smaller smartphones, the sales numbers have so far revealed that there aren’t really many of those people in real life who actually buy such phones. Maybe the Zenfone 9 will change that? Probably not, but let’s wait and see.
