It's unbelievably disappointing , almost no change. No lockscreen customization no new clocks,no new always on display customizations, same front camera low quality noise issues!
1. Android 14 should bring lock screen customizations with new clocks and stuff, it's up to the manufacturer to add these features, so Asus decided to just add a slider to change the COLOR !! of the clock witch is really DISAPPOINTING!
2.look at the widgets even stock ones like the weather is not usable (a huge scaling problem still exists) another example, every other company has brought and improved on their widgets significantly. Take nothing phone Android 14 update for example and compare it to this one. This feels like a monthly security patch! their widgets feel like they are from a 2017 phone. Anywho you get Android for a lot of reasons and one of them is being able to have all these fun customization stuff, with Asus we still got one major update- (witch should be at least 3 years of update with a flag shop phone)- and now I know it's just going to be another security patch and it's really disappointing! 🥲

Android 14 it's the last update on the Zenfone 9. I believe it's available.
If you want the stock experience I'd recommend a pixel phone to be honest, pixel 8 or 7 you won't get the greatest processor but you will get a great camera and software support, OnePlus, or even nothing phone 2 ! All have better support and better customizations!

Possibly the Pixel 8 maybe (because of the size). But everyone says the battery is a disaster. I do not know. If only the software support on the ZF9 was better, it would be a top device. Too bad.
Anyway, thanks for the advice!

I agree, the battery life is best in the Zenfone
