The 9 Smallest Cell Phones You Can Currently Buy – SlashGear

If you like the iPhone 13 Mini but would prefer something more modern, the Asus Zenfone 9 is a great Android-powered alternative. Released in the latter half of 2022, the ZenFone 9 is a unique-looking device; with its small 5.9-inch AMOLED screen and almost bulbous dual cameras, it definitely stands out from the crowd. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 paired with as much as a whopping 16GB of RAM put it beyond many flagship phones in terms of potential performance, at least on paper, and it uses a vapor chamber cooling system to avoid those powerful components overheating.

The ZenFone 9 includes both a wide and ultrawide camera, but it’s the wide camera with its 50MP sensor that might be the most exciting single feature of the Zenfone 9, given that it utilizes internal gimbal stabilization. That rather unique feature and makes the Zenfone 9 worth considering if you shoot a lot of video with your phone, even if you don’t necessarily need a tiny phone.

The only big downside here is that it doesn’t support wireless charging, which, in a modern, relatively high-end smartphone is a somewhat odd omission. However, it makes up for this with a large 4,300 mAh battery; that means you’ll need to top it up less often than many other tiny phones which typically struggle with battery capacity. It measures 5.77 x 2.68 x 0.36 inches.

The ASUS ZenFone 9 can be found in ASUS’s Amazon listing for a variety of prices — each color of the phone has a different listing page, which is odd, but they’re all there, anyway. This device’s starting price is currently around $610.
