Asus, please bring back compact zenfone!

[1453haryunnn]

Dear ASUS Team,

I am reaching out on behalf of many ASUS Zenfone fans and compact smartphone enthusiasts. Across Reddit, ZenTalk, YouTube, and tech communities, users consistently express their wish for ASUS to continue producing compact flagship smartphones like the Zenfone 10.

To highlight this, I have attached a short community summary report (PDF). A more detailed dossier is also available if you would like additional insight into collected comments and feedback.

Why compact Zenfones matter to the community:

Easy one-hand usability and pocketability

Flagship performance in a smaller size

Few competitors now offer a true compact flagship

Our request to ASUS:

 Please consider releasing a compact Zenfone (~5.9″–6.0″) in 2026 that carries forward flagship performance, strong battery, excellent cameras, IP68, and long-term software support.

ASUS is admired for its bold innovations in smartphones, and we believe continuing the compact Zenfone line would further strengthen its reputation with loyal users worldwide.

Thank you very much for your attention, and we hope to see ASUS continue leading in the compact flagship space.

Sincerely yours

Community Request: ASUS, please bring back a

compact flagship (2026)

Summary

Many former Zenfone users and compact-phone fans want ASUS to resume making a true compact

flagship (screen ■6.0″). The Zenfone 10 is repeatedly cited as the last mainstream compact

flagship; community threads and video comment sections show consistent demand for a

similarly-sized, modern model in 2026.

Key Community Evidence

• “Asus, please bring compact Zenfone back!” — Reddit r/zenfone. • “ASUS — DON’T STOP

MAKING COMPACT PHONES!” — YouTube comment threads on Zenfone vs Galaxy

comparisons. • “It’s the last small flagship” — multiple Reddit threads describing Zenfone 10 as the

last viable small flagship.

Why Users Want This

• Pocketability & one-hand use (many cite commuting comfort). • Flagship performance in a smaller

body (power + good battery + compact size). • Few large alternatives balance battery & single-hand

ergonomics — foldables are alternatives but with tradeoffs.

Suggested Ask to ASUS

Please consider a compact Zenfone (≈5.9″–6.0″) refresh for 2026 that keeps flagship hardware,

excellent battery life, and compact ergonomics.
