For the most part they use stock android on their Zenfones. Their camera software, I have no experience with, but the pixel phones are typically the best quality photos out there because of Google’s machine learning and tensor chips, so any competition is going to have a hard time catching up to the pixel in terms of photo quality.
If you’re not married to iOS, the Asus Zen phone 10 is small and compact. I’ve honestly considered getting one myself because I hate large phones.
The hardware is good but Asus was never known for software.

The software is actually really good but it’ll probably only get 1-2 updates.

I wish I could pay for a better phone with a shitty camera myself
