Wanted to buy it but i changed my mind. Screen dark, big bezels, cameras not very good. And so ugly too, seems like a cheap chinese phone from a few years ago. Especially i you compare it to the classy purple and gold S21.

    I thought 5.9" is perfect until I looked at the dimension and compared it to the 6.0" Google Pixel 5 and Sony Xperia 10 Mk3. It turned out that the screen aspect ratio also plays an important role when it comes to the overall size. While the Pixel and the Xperia may sound a bit bigger than this phone, the Pixel has a shorter 19.5:9 screen while the Xperia has a taller 21:9 screen. That is why the Pixel managed to be shorter than this phone because it has a shorter screen aspect ratio. No wonder why most people still reckon that 19:9 is the right balance between screen size and screen height.

        WARNING! DO NOT BUY

        I was very excited when this phone came out, finally a flagship small phone that is not the same size as a literal masonry block. It ran perfectly for two months until suddenly the screen went to black with small white and green unintelligible scribbles. After I tried to force restart it, it went to a page with the message "waiting for full ramdump". 
        I tried pressing every combination of buttons but it did nothing, it always went back to the same page. And now the phone is completely dead.

          Avoid this phone at all cost folks!!! the phone will just unexpectedly brick on you, there are a number of us who fell victim to this already.

                        I switched from Sony Xperia xz1 compact to this one simply as there are not that many compact phones out there. Initially was thinking Asus can't make phones, but they totally changed my mind. They don't make phones, they put the best stuff together. The best chip, screen from Samsung, cameras from Sony and os as close as possible to the vanilla Android. I just love it. Zenfone 8 is the best compact android phone out there.

                                Been using the phone for the past 1 month and having been a Sony Xperia loyalist, I must say Asus really hit a homerun this time around. I decided to give the Zenfone 8 a shot because first and foremost, what caught my eye was the size. Truly compact and so easy in the pocket and one handed operation is such a breeze. Cameras both front and back have been amazing and not being much of a photographer, does an excellent job for me. Oh yes, did I mentioned how bloody loud the dual speakers are? BLOODY LOUD. Kudos to Asus for giving the best in such a compact form factor. Though some corners have to be cut as there's no reverse charging and battery is a little on the smaller side. But hey, there's always fast charging to save the day! Excellent build, quality and value.

                                  Love love love love the size. The phone is powerful and feels powerful and responsive, never fails on me, so far, plenty of memory and reliable.

                                  The camera is better than what I expected, the selfie camera is the best I have experienced. Right price and right size!

                                    misses an IP blaster as well

                                        AverageIndianUser, 29 Aug 2021yeah last i heard their india official tweeted a month or t... moreyep pretty much no news, nothing.
                                        cameras, i suppose so, that is fair enough. again, i don't really mind sd card, but yeah i do want that 3.5mm jack, hence why i think this phone was a pretty well balanced, but existence is required for consideration.

                                        tbh i forgot sony still exists lol, so yep them going the LG way soon would make sense. as for asus, they just don't care about their smartphone business, they care more about gamer appeal than anything else.
                                        as for 21:9, yep, we're here on this phone's page because most of us want a compact and one-handed phone lol, 21:9 makes very little sense to us specifically.
