If you prioritize camera performance and are willing to pay a higher price, the Asus Zenfone 10 offers a slightly better overall camera quality with more features, such as raw output and HDR video capability. However, if keeping costs down is important to you and you can compromise slightly on camera features, the Google Pixel 6 offers a good balance of quality and affordability. The Zenfone 10 also boasts a higher refresh rate and brightness for its screen, which might enhance your viewing experience. On the other hand, the Pixel 6 has a slightly larger screen size, which might be better for media consumption, but it comes with a lower peak brightness and refresh rate. Battery life is another consideration; the Zenfone 10 has a slightly longer battery life than the Pixel 6. Both phones are Android based, offer 5G connectivity, and have similar storage capacity.

Richard Priday | August 2023
"It's the best small phone for fans of compact handsets, but the Asus Zenfone 10 could pull users away from Samsung and Google flagships with top-quality performance and battery life. If you can forgive its more limited photography options and the shorter-than-average software support window, the Zenfone 10 is a top choice."

"It punches above its weight in nearly every way: performance is great, build quality is very good, and the cameras positively rip. this is a big phone, which is a bit of a shock after the compact Pixel 4 and Pixel 5. But it’s a very good big phone at a very good price."

About ASUS
Asus is a well-known player in the mobile world, and in the past few years it has been known for covering specific niches in the smartphone market. Their Zenfone line of devices appeal to small phone enthusiasts, by providing very well-rounded and capable phones at a package that is not too large to operate with one hand – something hard to find in modern Android smartphones. Conversely, their ROG line of devices cater to mobile gamers, by providing a slew of hardware and software features, specifically tailored to enhance the mobile gaming experience. Additionally, Asus is one of the only manufacturers left that continues to include headphone jacks in their lineup of phones, a feature that has become exceedingly rare in today's market.
About Google
Google can be considered a relatively new player in the smartphone industry, joining as late as 2016 with their phone, the Google Pixel. Since then, the Pixel lineup has undergone many changes, but it has always been characterized by a focus on photography and clean software, by providing a pure Android experience. By virtue of Google being the creator of the Android operating system, Pixels are known for receiving timely software updates and for being supported with updates for a long time. Additionally, over the past few generations of devices, Google started designing their own processors. This allowed for the implementation of unique software features that are not present in any other phone, such as automatic call screening and unique voice transcribing capabilities.
