I finally wanted to get a 'premium' android phone with a great camera and small size, and I was very happy with my choice up until the first system update. the camera got useless (focus issues, google it...) and I had to restore and send it...

I've been using the Zenfone 9 (250/16) for over a year now. A few months after I bought it the motherboard had issues and I had to send it to Asus to change it. Symptoms were I couldn't be heard when talking and the camera just stopped work...

No, it's not the worst, try 1k2 S23 ultra and you will find the most expensive crap with camera quality from 2014.
