If screen size is important to you, the Samsung Galaxy S21+ has a larger display, which might enhance your experience when watching videos or playing games. However, if you prefer more compact devices that are easier to handle with one hand, the Asus Zenfone 9 comes with a smaller screen. The S21+ also offers slightly better overall camera quality, which could be significant if you enjoy photography or videography. For battery life, both phones are on par, so your daily usage should be similar with either phone. Remember that these considerations come alongside a notable price difference, with the Zenfone 9 being the more expensive option. Both run on Android but differ in other hardware aspects, such as body materials, with the Zenfone 9 having a plastic back compared to the glass back of the S21+. Give Feedback
