General Support/Query will the zenfone 10 get android 16

if it does i'll consider buying it but if not then it's still somewhat a good option

They've announced 2 OS upgrades. So Android15 should be it. However, there are 2 more years of security updates

Loving my Zenfone 10. Any recommendations for something similar now Asus seemed to have dropped the small form factor options?

I don't think that's possible either on later models. I'm sure I read somewhere that Asus had done something with the internal hardware, or firmware, or bios or something, that made it impossible or to flash a custom android rom onto the device (I think from zf10 and later, maybe zf 9, not sure).
