      ASUS has denied a previous report about the possible shutdown of the Zenfone division. The company issued a press statement, rubbishing claims from a Taiwanese media outlet that reported that the Zenfone 10 would be the last flagship in the Zenfone line.

        Thanks for the news, you made my day! I have an 8 which still works very well. I was on the verge of getting a 10 while I still could…

          And that only add validity to Apple’s reasoning. The small phone market is too small.

            And apparently people buying small phones do not buy a new one every years but wait for them to die, further reducing the cash grab pot.
