It has overrated software full of system bloat and duplicate apps that looks like it was designed by a 5 year old.
But if you like it, then go you.

... moreBecause it's not from an unknown company, has a proper Snapdragon SoC Worldwide and doesn't ship with Samsung's bloatware infested OS?
Those are the reasons I bought one.

Z, 04 Jun 2021Does it work on all 5G networks though?Yes it does, all UK bands are supported.
I bought a silver 256/8 from Wonda Mobile and couldn't be happier with it, lovely little thing.
And I got it in hand before the official release date of the 128 version in the UK.

This thing is still not available in the US. Why so much talk about it and they just won’t release it in the US. That’s why samsung has crushed all these brands they just can’t get the product out. By the time this thing is released everyone is over it already

I've recently received my new Zenfone 8, unfortunately I've got to send it back already as there appears to be a quality issue with the top speaker grill. It's like it wasn't painted or anodised correctly and it looks awful! Other than that the phone IMO is superb, the speakers are especially excellent!

Or UK, as it is no longer EU, theoretically the models sold in UK should still have the radio module.

I did some research, and found out that one and only smarphone ever existed with dab radio(even had both DAB and FM) was LG Stylus 2 or also called LG Stylus DAB+, there are even some videos on yt people showing how they using stock lg app for it, but next phone, Stylus 3, ditched that feature away sadly
