The Zenfone is still significantly larger and heavier than the iPhone mini, which for me is already at the upper limit for one-handed use.

From a quick look at tech specs from a few sources (asus, gsmarena, etc.) the USA version lacks 5G band n41, which is the backbone of T-Mobile (+Sprint).

Recently spent a long time agonizing over getting a new phone. This is the only phone that checked all my boxes (small, decent ram, storage and camera, headphone jack...) but it doesn't work on Verizon :(

Went with the Pixel 4a, we'll see how it goes
