What's the camera like? I take a ton of photos and really need good quality.

I can't give personal opinions yet, but reviews seem to say that it's "fine", which for a phone of this size, I think that's a success. Although "fine" might not be the "good" that you are looking for.
It's 48 MP, which is great for zooming but I don't think it has any other perk. Low light pics seem to be pretty meh. It's also just one camera. Absolutely fine for me, I know that. But definitely will be worse than the Pixels and the iPhones.
The spech is amazing, that's practically what I want in a phone, although I have one more requirement: Qualcomm CPU. I wanna install custom ROMs
@unknowing8343
i kinda wish the screen was a bit wider, 16:9 doesnt really work in this size imo.
Then use it on landscape mode 😉➖
A bummer that Asus dropped the compact zenfone this year... Hope they bring it back, maybe every other year
@BeatTakeshi @unknowing8343
asus had a gold on their hands with compact zenfones, then they had to mess it up by 2 years of support and an unlocked bootloader (which i would be personally fine with if the support was more than 2 years)
North america only frequencies, just so you know.
Thanks for the solid writeup! 🙌
I bought one a couple of months ago. I think it's fantastic both for the size and the price. It's a bit too small of a screen for my aging eyes, but otherwise it works great. I'm keeping it to or when I travel or other good use. Edit: the cameras are... OK. Nothing great, but serviceable. Gcam helps, Google for versions. Also, yes, you can root it. Also GSI flash works, but you lose functions. The battery charges super fast, given it's size. It accepts like 10w charging current.
Headphone jacks, IR blasters, AND an FM radio? This phone never left the rad days of android.
Isn't it crazy? When I found it I couldn't believe my eyes. I mean... Hopefully it does not disappoint when I get it
Please do update after you've used it as your daily driver for a month! Would love love love to hear about it.
Also if OP posts an update and someone happens to see this comment, will you reply here or tag me? TIA!
Is there a RemindMe bot yet on Lemmy?
Not that I know of unfortunately.
!Remindme 1 day
That's sick. I'm very interested, keep is updated.
I loved this phone! I had a jelly 2. It didn't work with my train ticket app, so I had to switch to something bigger. Great conversation piece too.
I got a Jelly 2 a couple years ago to reduce my smartphone addiction, and I loved it. It runs well and the build quality is great. (I ended up switching back to my normal phone, but that's not the Jelly 2's fault. I'm just weak)
