It's missing quite a few LTE bands such as band 13, 700 mHz and more. The camera is poor in low light. Unless the phone retails for under $300 AUD I would pass on it.

Vic, 16 Jul 2021Try factory reset. It might help. Even if not - I'm su... moreI don't want to factory reset. I already moved all my data and I don't want to do it again. I also wanted to say that with last update both problems have got better. The thermals are much better and the battery with a light use can last for a day and a half with like 5 hours of sot. With a moderate usage it should be enough for a day with the same 5/6 hours. Standby battery consumption has improved but the screen with auto refresh rate (which only goes up to 90Hz) is so power demanding. Maybe the first days it has some problems because of it updating, downloading and transfering files while I was setting it up, i don't know. With a moderate usage it usually drains about 10% every hour, which is not that bad but can be improved imo

I don't think they could have done much better on battery size. It's a problem with optimization if a 4000 mAh won't easily make it through the day.

I have used it for a few days and I'm really disappointed. I hate two things about it:
1. Battery life is absolutely trash. I can only get 3/4 hours sot with auto refresh rate and light use. Bluetooth and location are disabled. Standby drain is also bad. After some research I read that someone discovered that the phone would never enter "deep doze" mode, so idle battery conssumption is horrible (While not using my phone it went from 54 to 50 % in 15 minutes). While sleeping it's not that bad tho, maybe it just needs more time to enter that "deep doze mode" (this night it went from 84 to 77 % in 7 hours).
2. It seriously overheats a lot. I don't play games nor use the camera, it just starts heating out of nowhere. Even while not using it, the top part of the device will randomly heat. I didn't measure temperature but I think it gets up to 40/45°C. This obviously affects the battery making it drain even faster.
I hope these issues can be solved with software updates because the rest of the phone is almost perfect. I love the design, the speakers and the screen, and the fingerprint sensor is not as bad as some people said here.

In fact, FM Radio NEVER works with Bluetooth at all. Always remember that FM Radio has its own dedicated chip and never shared with Bluetooth at all.

I have been a loyal ASUS Zenfone customer since 2015 starting with two Zenfone 2, then two 2E, then a 4, and then then two 5z. But now that Zenfone 8 and ASUS Rog 5 have no expandable microSD slot, this is a deal breaker. I will go for Sony Xperia 1 III instead.

Dear Asus,
few things I'd do to get all the LG fans
Make audio options like the V and G series had:
Digital filters, balance, equalizer.
Special audio recorder with adjustable gain, lcf, lmt.
Its just software, costs You now almost nothing but these are the reasons to buy it for us. It was never the camera (but You can get on a pixel level and noone would be dissapointed)
