Perhaps the reliability issues are stem from the bad design, poor material, or simply just because gaming smartphone is still new and not suitable for overclocking and challenge the heat limits.

Or can say partly because smartphone is not the same as laptop which can have more cooling and easier to dissipate heat, while smartphone is a lot smaller, has much less room for cooling even though many cooling parts already built into the smartphone but still not enough for long period of gaming with highest possible game setting. I don't think it is lacking behind Redmagic/Legion/Blackshark, might be the current smartphone itself is still not suitable for serious gaming. Not meaning for any smartphone when labelled as gaming can be abused for long period of gaming and abused for simultaneous fast charging and gaming.

mexicanparrot, 04 Sep 2022Paid by these other companies to try to write negative revi... moreJust look on spec sheet ASU ROG same specs
But higher price vs there competition
People have had ASU ROG phones brick there's some know problems with them
If any brand has paid for reviews it's Asus ROG gaming phone's in the gaming market but most likely just biases thinking it's better because it's more expensive
but tech reviewer's are hostile too gaming smartphone just nitpicking made up problems or lie's are painful too hear them say such bogus about them
Tech reviewer's hype terrible value phones
such as Samsung Galaxy phones with exyno processor google pixel with google tensor or the iPhone that's only one step up from a feature phone it's barely even a proper phone
The other reason this terrible advise is there all phone that have poor hardware and the iphone being too unbalanced in specs
All the popular crappy over hyped phones that are massively overpriced expensive especially the iphone tech reviewer's favorite that's taken away everything from the phone that's not nailed down and the box had same treatment removed everything
Tech reviewer's do seen too unjustified reasons too prefer Asus ROG over the Lenovo legion gaming phones or Nubia red magic gaming phones
Your paying for the hardware as simple as that
For gaming value for money is important
It's possible ASU ROG is the best but it's overpriced and might not even be the best gaming phone
Well at least it's got 2 changers in the box coming with it plus dual changering ports so Asus ROG is good
The ASU ROG phone lack built in fans and can't probably cool themselves with a passive cooling system the active fan that attach too the back of the phone not the best good solution but still a step up from most phone's

You're not even in the right phone series forum. The fact is Asus is the leader in Gaming phone market with the ROG series. The ROG Phone 6 Pro is something no other company even comes close to replicate.

AnoM, 21 Apr 2022Not the best by 2021, but definitely underrated.
All than... moreThe Rog line of phone
I have seen a lot of compliments about it not being reliable
And it just stop working after a year
The problem only made worse by the fact that the asu Rog line of phone are behind their competitors Lenovo legion & Nubia red magic and don't even have built-in fans and have less storage and no SSD
Yet the asu Rog phone cost the most and said too be the best 🤔
The ZenFone 8 flip phone a much better price just less multi tasking powers because only 8gb ram Vs a more reasonable 18gb ram that is the standard
Possibly better designed camera still flagship Snapdragon processor
I do think the asu ZenFone 8 flip there's only a handful of phones better than it
Yeah asu Rog needs fix reliable problems has got too either reduce pricing or improve specs by a lot in order too out match the there competition

mre16, 21 Jun 2022I'm having trouble finding a Us carrier for this phone... moreCricket being a sub-brand of AT&T are following their guidelines and only allowing "LTE voice enabled" devices that are white-listed on their network.
I had Cricket. Got frustrated they wouldn't let me continue to use my Zenfone6 on their network so I left and went with Tmo since they still permit and compatible unlocked device.

This is the last real smartphone made by the smartphone industry. Because it features a dedicated memory card slot and less bloatware.

After the ASUS ZenFone 7 Pro this should have been the new flagship format, but people voted with their wallets for something they were more familiar with yet was a lesser product.
It's sad to see the phone market in the state that it's in, every one is an all too familiar replica of it's predecessor with less and less functionality. Sharp Corners -> Rounded Corners (repeat). I just wanna say my goodbyes to innovation before all I'm left with is iPhone-alikes.
R.I.P.: Faster more reliable rear & side-mounted fingerprint scanners, flip up cameras, the idea of fewer better cameras, infra-red sensors, FM Radio. 3.5mm headphone jack.
Remember them! Remember that you too voted for this.

I have been using it for 1 month now, and I really like it. The battery is not being that big of a problem, maybe I'm using it more lightly now, but I'm also gaming a lot on it.
There is just a minor issue that could be fixed in future versions, when gaming on landscape mode, my hand easily end up covering the bottom speaker, but maybe using with a gamepad would not have that problem. Or maybe I should just get a bluetooth headphone.
The other thing I have to point out is that we can record in 4k 60fps, but the phone overheat in about 10 minutes and turns off.
For those who like some hacking, you can easily unlock the bootloader using an App provided by Asus, but no one has made a TWRP image nor any custom ROM yet.
Anyway, I'm extremely happy with this phone! :)

happytux, 06 Apr 2022I just got a Zenfone 8 Flip and I installed Gcam on it and ... moreIt is the Snapdragon 888, both of Qualcomm, Samsung and ARM issue where this generation of SoC is created with powerful in mind, but lost on power saving.
ARM fault is the default architecture of the ARM design which has a power hungry big X1 core.
Samsung fault is having a low yield 5nm manufacturing process, which further causing the power drain issue.
Qualcomm fault is in order to compete with other competitor in the industry, choose Samsung for lower cost, and fail to refine and solve the issue from ARM.
These vendor behind the processor just keep quiet and let the smartphone brand to get blamed on power hungry processor and blame the latter not optimize on their power hungry processor.

Zenfone 8 Flip is so under rated and such a good flagship done right
people don't know what they are missing out on
it even beats flagships in performance is better then any smartphone in Samsung or pixel line up that cost x2 as much
zen phone equal the sony best smartphone in camera that cost 4x as much
selfie camera matters
great oled 90hz screen design
only a handful of smartphones out there better then this flagship
only weakness that matters is storage mainly

I just got a Zenfone 8 Flip and I installed Gcam on it and it becomes really the best selfie cam, astonish photos, I love it!
But I was expecting more for the battery, at least in the system power consumption optimization.
Doing tests, according to AccuBattery App it is spending about 420 mA / hour (13%/hour) when the screen is on (regular browsing + chatting, no gaming), and 80 mA /hour (2.5%/hour) screen off (using Greenify and Naptime).
It gave me an approximation that the battery has 3700 mAh, brand new, shipped from Asus. Lasting 8 hours screen on (dim screen light), and 37 hours screen of. I have to charge it to about 80% to prevent wear, so it lasts me only 6 hours.
Was I getting high expectations for a supposedly 5000 mAh battery? Or is it just poor optimization?

Anonymous, 25 Feb 2022S21 release 2021 Jan, Zenfone 8 Flip release same year May.... moreThey launched zenfone 5, 6 and 8 in May. I would guess that Zenfone 7 launch in August was due to the initial covid disruptions. So I guess Zenfone 9 will probably launch in mid May.
Idk if I can wait or if I will just pick the 8 Flip.
