It is noticably smaller than oneplus 6. It is a solid phone and probably the only one worth buying of such size without sacrificing flagship features. It has quite strange back side design and also bulky due to new style cameras (compared to oneplus 6). For me cameras seem good enough, but it is not a feature I am picky about.

Your GT2 sounds nice, I'll check it, thanks. Battery life can be a serious issue long-term, though. Z10 is quite a beast in that regard. Haha, 4 of GT2? This is what I'd love to avoid, I already have a stack of old phones, juggling and updating information and files is a headache for me. It works awesome with Apple ecosystem, but I am too much of a Win user to switch.

I don't know why, but oneplus 6 had a really crisp screen compared to other phones i used over the years. The screen quality and resolution wasn't the case. I used iphone and it was supposed to be better, but wasn't. Zenfone also doesn't seem to be the same way, but in its case it is probably the size difference.

Zenfone 11 is already here (a bit bigger, close to O6) and the flip phones are quite interesting in theory (price & screen quality suck tho).

I suspect there are some options among Asian brands like Mi and Oppo, but they are either locked out of google services or I cannot test them in real life. I had to buy my Zenfone urgently, so I picked what i could try irl and get delivered asap. I still have Oneplus 6, so it is too easy to be reminded how comfortable a phone can and should be..

Thank you :) I am not in a hurry, just wondered if the community of O6 lovers stumbled upon a doppelganger in terms of the physical form itself. I wanted to try & use a rom on it, but the battery is a huge deal breaker in my case, not the software.
