Bought my second laptop from Asus, the first is 9 years, and still okay. Just video edit is slow now. So with my new vivobook pro 16x, I am an Asus laptop fan. That is why I thinking of a Asus Zenfone 8. I've had a Nokia 7 plus, and a Nokia 8.3, screen broke. Zenfone 9 is expensive 780 euro, the 8 cost now 449 in Belgium. I have to choose, Sony, Google, Samsung, Nokia, they have all bad comments on internet... :-)

Incredible phone. Bought used for a few months. New March 2023 update. Super bright display, powerful audio, many functions, notification led, audio jack. Now I tried to set 60Hz display and I managed to do over 6.30 of screen on at 20%. Autofocus on all three cameras, the two rear and the selfie one. It just lacks wireless charging.

Anonymous, 09 Jul 2022It has a FM radio , why?Because people still listen to FM Radio these days. Don't think because of streaming apps popularity that FM Radio is outdated. If anything, they are continuously growing bigger than before.

These are good value now @ £299 in the uk.
Shame the software support will probably end the middle of this year though.

I bought this phone for 43k in india. So far the experience is amazing. It's small so easily we can operate with one hand without switching it to one hand mode. Audio is amazing. With the new update, it seems max audio level is decreased but it is clear none the less. Gaming is a breeze. This is a beast of a phone. I read about the ramdump and motherboard issue and some of us suggested to keep the refresh rate to 90HZ to be safe. I have kept it at 90 and luckily have not faced the issue.
Updates have been consistent so far. Optimizations done on Android 12 are good. Screen On Time (watching videos, playing games, intensive tasks) 6-7 hours (battery for this phone for some reason does not go below 3% easily. You really need to push it for that).
Overall, a good one.

I was thinking getting this phone but what I found out is that there is no memory expansion and no built in FM Radio, that's no good for me. I'm currently happy with my Huawei P30 Lite New Edition and keeping it forever until if there is new one coming out with the requirements that I want.

I have owned the Asus Zenfone 8 for the past year and it has been a disastrous experience. Although the phone's build quality, sound and general usage was good, the motherboard failed not once but twice! The first motherboard failure occurred in May 2022 and was replaced under warranty, but the second time the motherboard had failed about 4 weeks after the warranty had expired. My constant complaints to Asus customer service regarding the unreliable hardware of the phone and request for a replacement was futile. This will be the last time that I will own an Asus phone product. Please save your headaches and stay away from Asus.

Rocker, 18 Oct 2022I am Using this phone.
Does it overheats : Yes but usually... moreThanks for your input. I'd be using the phone mostly for music (with a music player app, not streaming on Spotify etc), messaging on WhatsApp, play lots of Clash Of Clans, which is not the most demanding game. I don't play any other games except probably a little bit of Solitaire and Scrabble. I don't take too much photos or videos on a regular basis, usually only when I go out to see a sporting event.
I guess the phone wouldn't be too bad for me then, but I'm keeping my eyes on the Zenfone 9 too. I'm seeing the price has started to get cut little by little. I'm hearing good things about that phone when it comes to thermals and battery life, so probably paying a little extra would worth it.
I'll hold on to my Zenfone Max M1 Pro for as long as I can. I like this phone mostly for the stock Android and it's relatively small. I have a Poco M3 Pro as my second phone, not liking Xiaomi's custom OS on it and also a Nokia 5.4, that thing lags like crazy, even worse after the Android 12 update.

Does it overheats : Yes but usually under long usage of gaming or in my case camera.
Battery Sucks : Short answer YES.
If you use your phone for Media consumption and dont play games and take pics sometimes phone is frankly Good.
I wanted a phone which is smooth and compact which it is.
Apps open up quick and no lag or anything at all, UI is clean and camera+ Screen is really nice.
So the phone is Good/BAd depending on the usage mostly

Saw this phone on a good discount online, I wonder if it's a good buy. I heard horror stories about the phone overheating and battery life being awful, so I'm very hesitant to buy it.
