But it has close to stock android, a Headphone jack, and fits comfortably in my hand with a friggin 8+ gen1 chip. Like, damn!

            Vango, 28 Jul 2022"Substantially lighter than it's predecessor"... moreCalling a 4 gram difference substantial is actually in line with how they overly praised a phone in their recent review so you can't really take their opinions seriously nowadays. But they do present more objective data, like specs, benchmarks, battery endurance (standardized) among others, so at least there's that.

              I do like that feature rich compact phones are still on the market. But at this price point I find discounted Xperia 5 III much better option in many ways. Of course Asus have newer chip, and some other advances. And after discount for Zenfone it will be great deal.

                  It looks nice on the back but on the front it looks like $150 Oppo.

Most other reviewers just say "gets a full day", screen on time, or video playback tests. None of them give as objective a picture as this test imo.

                          Hoping it has a SD card slot, but they seem so rare these days.

                            I think the bottom bezel is too wide

                                  Small phone

                                  - less than 140mm (height)
                                  - less than 70mm (width)

                                  Does not matter if most are over 160mm, this does not make a 146mm phone small.

                                    Looks like a good compact phone, a bit expensive though. I wonder if there will be a larger version with telephoto camera.
