I recently moved to a Asus Zenfone 10 from my Google Pixel 6 pro, and Zenfone’s size is great.
I missed having a phone that fits well in my hands and pocket and doesn’t feel like carrying a brick.
I agree that Pixels are great. Good cameras and performance, but 95% of the time outside I just need access to my chats and Google Maps.
I wished that there were more flagship options that are not so big!
Of course they do, screen aspect ratios have changed. People need to stop comparing based only on diagonal screen size. A 5" 16:9 screen has similar screen area to a 5.4" 20:9 screen, and the same width as a 6" 20:9 screen.
