I like the feeling of holding and using a phone in one hand. I am using a Pixel 5 right now, but it feels a bit too large for me. I know nobody makes phone that small like the iPhone 4S or the Samsung S3 mini anymore, but is there at least a phone smaller than the Pixel 5? Maybe around the size of a iPhone 12/13 mini?
EDIT: There is a small Android phone project in development for anyone interested: https://smallandroidphone.com/
The Zenfone 9 is amazing. I’ve had one for around a year. It’s slightly smaller than the Pixel 5 and has absolutely amazing battery life. Mostly stock android with a lot of little QOL improvements sprinkled all around the system.
It had a lot of potential. But their lack of a full global launch, missing LTE bands for my Canada, and poor support make it an incredible expense for what you get. I was so excited about it leading up to the release.
IKR! The Zenfone 9 looked like a great form-factor for me but only 2 years of Android updates is just too short to me (as someone who tries to keep using the same phone until it truly croaks)
It’s trash because Asus has bad quality control, customer service and aftersales.
yeah, these phones are basically useless without custom ROMs and they might not get many or at all due to the small userbase
you forgot most importantly it’s 3 times more faultier than other brands which have 99-100% reliability, while zenfones like 96-97%, these data are publically available in european online shops
