Do not decide on a single headline: Do not use one camera megapixel, benchmark score or AI feature as a proxy for the whole phone. Ecosystem, size, camera system, storage and support horizon all matter.

Deeper Australian Product Guide evidence - still verify the current retailer offer and exact variant before purchase.These products already overlap on compact, camera; the deciding difference is more likely to be their distinctive use-case signals, exact specifications, current price and retailer availability.
Australian Product Guide does not currently have comparable maintained reference prices for every option in this shortlist, so price should be verified at the retailer rather than inferred.
None of the maintained options satisfies your non-negotiable deal-breakers, exact Australian model identity is unclear, or the evidence is too shallow for the decision you are making.
Exact model/variant, current retailer availability, current price, warranty/support terms and any specification that materially affects your use case.
