After I bought Hohem iSteady X2 gimbal and switched OIS/EIS off, AF on, 75% brightness, the battery life has improved (1% = 2min.10s ultra wide cam / 1min.51s wide cam) for 1080p 60fps recording. So theoretically I can record continuously(batt. 100% to 0%) 3hr36min / 3hr5min.

The worst android phone I have ever had. Power button ill placed, you will accidentaly press it on a daily basis. Flash light cannot be switched off without unlocking the phone and pulling menu down (unlike xiaomi solution that is perfect). During the call, the display is going on and off triggering everything it can, even posting stories on instagram and facebook in the way. Frequently stuttering while playing videos, needs to be restarted, no other trick solved this issue. The phone is a load of shit. I am switching to iPhone.

User of zenfone 8. 1 year after purchase, the phone just died. I realised alot of the software function of this phone is bad. Take for example, when using the calling function, if you wish to scroll the screen down to search for a pin, the screen will flicker. Software not really compatible with hardware. Many occasion screen just freeze of unresponsive even if you use it to surf net. No more asus phones for me

I bought the phone in August 2021. In January 2023, its WiFi and hotspot stopped working due to heatstroke. Apparently the antenna on the phone is really weak. I had a similar case with my previous device, Pixel 2, The Wifi and the hotspot there continued to work normally. So since I had to send the device for repair. The Asus support service in the country where I live asked me to pay 680 dollars, which is not worth it at all, so i preferred to buy a new phone already. very disappointed.

Wan Signature, 27 Apr 2023A13 latest update .269 is it better than the last update? i... moreHi @Wan Signature , I am on A13 .210 update and the CPU frequencies are set to minimum needed for 1080p 60fps recording(check more details in my post on xda forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/asus.4568845/ )...so the temps should not be very high. I forgot check this on A12 :(( .
I am on rooted phone and I set custom CPU frequencies only as high as needed for several apps I am using...also for every video recording mode(1080p/30-240fps, ...4k/30-120fps).
For me the battery life is great as my previous phone was redmi note 3 pro(28nm CPU). I don't use SIM card, so can't tell about 4G/5G battery life.
34min. of 1080p60fps recording(OIS on, HyperSteady off) costs 20% of battery, so in extreme situation I should be able to record almost ~150min., which is great for such a complex device. HyperSteady consumes more power, but it is useless as it produces blury video.
Also noticed that 14mm ultrawide camera consumes slightly less power as the default 26mm wide camera.
All these measurements are with 2 months old phone(45 batt. charging cycles).
I hope you will find something usefull in my post.

All the review talk about very bad battery life. Is it true even on android 13? I know about the rather problematic processor.. the snapdragon 888

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.

rohitverma1, 09 Dec 2022I bought this phone for 43k in india. So far the experience... moreExactly. Smaller phone, not typical bread board like the others. In comparision to Pixel 6 is super fast, has better screen, a lot better loudspeakers with more bass.
