I switched to iPhone this summer for that very reason, after maybe a decade on Android. Coming from the Essential PH-1 which I’d grown tired of maintaining past it’s official support life and looking for something the same size or smaller, I settled on one of the few options on the market that offered both small size and performance: the iPhone 13 mini. Barring a vastly inferior notification experience, it’s a stellar device. I suppose I wish for something that was both small and well-supported on Android. If the timing was different, I may have gone with the Zenfone, but then again seeing Google send texts as me to their numbers sat wrong with me, so I may have switched systems anyway.

Zenfone looks good only on paper - horrible shutter speed (main disadvantage of Samsung), unreliable hardware compared to other brands, unoptimized software and no long updates guaranteed plus they ask more for it than Samsung with trade in bonuses. They could fix the software part, but I don't think more reliable hardware is realistic and what's the point of great phone if it breaks. If someone doesn't mind slow shutter and mediocre battery life then S22 is good option for smaller phone with good camera, updates and good VFM with trade in bonus (could be had around 500€ with any phone from drawer).
