Afaik asus is the only one with an audio jack, and as we all know, a phone without an aux is an unusable piece of shit
The Poco X5 Pro also has an audio jack and custom ROMs, phones without ROMs are unusable tbh.
The answer to the Zenphone bootloader unlock article from a few days ago sure came to a conclusion faster than we think: it turns out they are actually ending bootloader unlock by shutting down Zenfones for consumers altogether.
Which goes back again to my point in that thread: Low level sources working inside a big company aren't reliable at all, not because of any bad intents, but because executive decision travels slowly inside big companies.
wtf! I was actually thinking to buy zenfone 10 when it comes out because of the small form factor but now it looks like I gotta stick with my redmi k20 pro.
You weren't getting another Zen Phone anyway. They gutted the entire team because it didn't make money.
That was a misunderstanding- the zenphone line will still be a thing, as will the rog phone line. Both are continuing and will be supported same as they would be previously. There was a post on one of the android lemmy communities, maybe both, with the official statement from Asus
