If you're looking for a compact phone with a robust camera system, and are willing to pay more, the Asus Zenfone 9 could be suitable as it offers an excellent camera performance. However, if you are budget-conscious and are satisfied with a slightly inferior but still reliable camera, the Google Pixel 7a is more affordable and includes Pixel-exclusive features like call screening and "Hold For Me". Both phones are similar in size, but the Pixel 7a's screen is slightly larger at 6.1 inches compared to the 5.9 inches of the Zenfone 9. The Pixel 7a also has slightly better battery capacity and gets additional Google-exclusive software support. Give Feedback
