BlazeA page to gather interest in a small Android phone
MudManAsus makes the ZenPhone 10. That's 6 inches. I don't know how it stacks up to the other requirements, I've never used one.
I'm a bit confused about what the OP means with "premium", but at least the price band fits.
AItoothbrushIt has a locked bootloader, i know because i have one…
I'm curious now that we've talked so much about it. Is it any good, locked bootloader aside?
wingsfortheirsmilesI like mine, mainly small gripes for me like I wish the shielding was a bit better on the headphone jack, Meta apps weren’t bundled though ofc you can disable/remove them and the screen could be both brighter and get dimmer (to agree with the other review). I’m also a bit disappointed it doesn’t support e-sims, though does support dual physical SIMs.
Performance is great as expected, battery is solid and the camera is good whilst not matching Pixels imo. Asus’ skin is pretty light with some nice customisation options (like being able to switch between stock android and their version for certain parts of the OS). I also love the fingerprint sensor on the power button, just makes sense for me and reminds me of my old Xperia Compact phones. Whilst retaining the SD card slot would be handy, I went for 512GB so it’s not an issue for me
Wait, you get dual physical sims but they don't repurpose one of the slots for an SD card if you don't use it? Why? At that point it's removing a feature just for the sake of it. Well, for the sake of making you overpay for more storage, but still.
