I have no idea why the brief says sub 6 inches when the target is the iphone mini, which is 5.4 inches. Like the Zenfone is a normal sized phone, just marketed as “compact”.
It is the smallest I could find on Android, though. The other ones people are recommending is the vanilla S23, and the Pixel 7a, both of which are a 2-3mm wider, like the iPhone is.
I think you’re uinderestimating the size difference, though. These things are 60-70ish mm wide. The short side of your thumb is what? 5-8 cm? If my current phone was the width of the Zenfone I would be able to reach the opposite edge with my thumb even with a full wrap-around grip, which is now… well, a couple mm out of reach.
That said, yeah, it’s not a 4 inch phone (which bezel-less today would be more like a 5 inch screen). If that’s what you want these days I think what the manufacturers are expecting you’ll buy on the flagship end is a foldable. Which I wouldn’t. But that’s the idea at play, I think.
