If you prioritize having a larger screen and a slightly higher battery capacity, the OnePlus 12 with its glass back would be a good choice, acknowledging it costs a bit more than the Asus Zenfone 10. The OnePlus 12 also offers a higher storage capacity and improved screen resolution, which can enhance your viewing experience. On the other hand, the Asus Zenfone 10 is more compact, lighter, and features a plastic back, which you may prefer if you're looking for something easier to handle and potentially more durable. Both phones have Android OS and offer similar camera capabilities, but the OnePlus 12 may provide marginal improvements in photo and video quality. If cost is a major concern, the Asus Zenfone 10 will save you some money while still delivering a solid smartphone experience. Give Feedback

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."

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 OnePlus
OnePlus, established in 2013, is a smartphone brand that first became known for providing flagship-like devices, at a fraction of the cost compared to more expensive Android competitors. OnePlus focuses on creating smartphones with powerful hardware at reasonable prices. They also bring hardware features normally not seen in other Android phones sold in the US, such as their ultra-fast “Warp Charge” and the beloved “Alert Slider”.
