Asus ZenFone 7 Pro Specs

Very good quality hardware (except for the USB, because it doesn't support analogue inputs... forcing us to use a DAC). The principle of using a rotating camera is great, as the screen has no holes because of the front camera. The equipment remains top-of-the-range even in 2023. It's just a shame that the software is poor. And that Asus has stopped updating the Android.

I'm lucky to have tried a lot of high-end phones.

My first impression of the Zenfone 7 Pro is bad. I kind of hate it. Firstly, it comes littered with Facebook apps, including some weird background service that you have to disable. It also comes with Netflix preinstalled. So there's bloat. That's bad. I spent some time trying to clean out the junk. Since it's possible to clean out most of it, that part is passable.

This phone does not support multiple user accounts, something that is part of the Android OS (and Linux, naturally). It seems they took extra effort to *strip out* this feature, which has a lot of very valid use cases. Yet they claim that it's "close to stock Android," which must be a lie. And I don't appreciate lies.

The camera is good. The flip or popup camera is a no-brainer, I don't know why you would buy a phone that doesn't have one. But my first impression of this phone is that I hate it, and I wish that I had spent more time researching.

My last phone was a OnePlus 7 Pro. This time I should have gotten a OnePlus 7T Pro International Version, and I'm upset with myself for choosing the Zenfone.
