My phone just died. After 3 years and 4 months, while using, gone dead and no more sign of life. Seems to be a common issue after 24-36 months of usage, related to some motherboard element burning (see this long threat at https://zentalk.asus.com/t5/zenfone-8/to-asus-and-all-owners-of-a-dead-zenfone-8/td-p/405921/page/97)
I've asked Asus if there is a change of out-of-guarantee support for these case, where the problem is common for many users. The answer was negative, no support.
I do not recommend Asus anymore. Just bought a Samsung phone instead.

Anonymous, 28 Dec 2024hey what about the software support how long will that be?Asus only gives 2 years of software updates so this phone is already past that.
Last security patch is from November 2023 and there wont be any more.

most comments here are right so I made sure i whipped off the heat with a damp towel whenever i feel its super hot the comments here would say how hot their climates usually are esp w/ humidity and not to mention I got it way later in late 2022 a few months before its last update then didn't start seriously using it till early 2023 and don't game on it except once and it seemed like it broke the power charging ability for but after one restart it and using a different wire and charging brick it seemed ok for now so I will use this phone till I can get either a phone that has fm radio on it like the ulefone 28 or when another company decides to release a 4 nm with at least 12 gb ram and fm radio 3mm it was the 3d match game and i think it shouldn't have had this issue most likely by the time this phone releases it would be just a budget phone spec for everyone so let moto know since it did release one except it was using slow cpu

Got this phone recently second hand off Ebay UK. Paid £125.
Seems like an outdated design. Specs seem good and phone is very solid.
Pros
====
+ Phone signal and use a phone great - mic clear and speaker good
+ 5G hotspot which I use regularly very fast
+ Small form factor
+ Audio DAC
+ Can remove all the ASUS bloatware
Cons
====
- Touch screen can be wayward at edge of screen
- ASUS camera software is slow
- Phone does get hot when overloaded on GPS or apps
- ASUS uses customs phone contacts and message software that is dated but can replace

Is it the same where you plug it in and the led just blinks red for a couple of seconds?

I have had this phone for 2 years and suddenly it died. Completely unresponsive from one moment to the next. Must be the motherboard problem people keep mentioning. Will try to send it in or at least contact customer support. Will not buy an ASUS phone again anytime soon.
