3. Asus Zenfone 10 – Flagship Android Specs
Asus has continued to make smaller phones when the trend was supersize, and we’re eternally grateful. In 2023, the Zenfone 10 isn’t just the best Zenfone model ever, it’s also one of our favorite small phones and the best little Android flagship you can get.
It has the top-notch Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which has enabled excellent power efficiency from the necessarily small battery. This phone has very good battery life and lasts well over a day.
The punchy OLED screen is 5.9 inches and has a high refresh rate screen of 144 Hz (for games only, otherwise max. 120 Hz), and on the other side a grippy plastic finish – without glass you can use the phone without rocking case, but there’s one in the box if you want.
You might prefer another phone if you want more than two years of Android updates which is all Asus promises but if that doesn’t bother you (there are four years of security patches) then this is one of the best phones – small or not – you can buy.
