Performance

Big on cooling

Zenfone 9 runs cooler — and faster — than ever, with a totally revamped cooling system. It now uses a high-tech vapor chamber instead of heat pipes, and there’s an advanced heat spreader that uses copper, graphite sheets and thermal paste. That’s twice as large and offers much bigger cooling capacity3. The result? More speed, less heat!

Cool in any situation

Big on battery capacity

With an upgraded 4300 mAh battery and power-efficient components, Zenfone 9 lasts longer than ever!
