If you are in the market for sub 6" android phones, not many available. samsung maybe, but screw the bloat ware and bixby button.

I also like the idea of a holeless, notchless display. That's why I wish they would bring back a top bezel with squared off corners. Manufacturers continue to go form over function...at least Asus made a flagship with a physical fingerprint sensor in 2022. Plus you can program it and tapping the back to do various things. It's a shame that such nice additions will get overlooked by the bigger companies like ratbastard said.
but cant have both. its a trade off.
wonder when they will put faster charging like other brands,
wouldn't mind smaller battery as much if it had faster charging.

i'm spoiled by 256gb sd storage and in my cheaper phones 5000mA battery. It's so nice not to have it on the charger all day. Especially when no charger available.
ZenFone 9 looks compelling. I can't justify a new phone this year, but I might grab this thing when it's 18 months old. And 40 cents on the dollar. I really like how they made a purpose-made case which is designed to attach to your book bag.
