Asus Zenfone 8 specs surface in full, detailing all of the hardware

08 May 2021
This comes hot on the heels of another extensive leak for the Zenfone 8 pair, including renders.

Sort by:

Not the best design of the world but if the price is right, I might change my Note10+ for that (I don't use the S pen anymore)

    Shadocx, 09 May 2021Why are you talking about how tall the phones are, people a... morepeople are holding their phones in portrait yes but they also need a door knob clued behind the phone that give you grip to handle the phone with one hand. Your thumb cant reach top and bottom of the screen if the phone is taller. 148 mm tall is a lot for the thumb to reach. 68 mm wide is not so big of a deal and especially when were talking about maximum 2 mm difference that is nothing for the 68 or 69.8

      galaxyS15, 08 May 2021Amazing. That was the only thing missing in this phone even... moreSeriously, nothing is enough to these people/trolls/bots lol

        salarx, 09 May 2021Was Zenfone 5 series available? If yes, chances are Zenfone... moreNo, not even the SD 845 ZenFone 5 is officially available in Malaysia. The last time I ever saw an ASUS phone sold in Malaysia before the ROG Phone was the Intel-powered 2014 ZenFone 5.

          Not me crying over the Zenfone 8's camera 💀

            YUKI93, 09 May 2021Regarding the Flip version, apparently, it will miss out on... moreSo, it means we have to compromise something for something. Hope ZenFone 8 pro will have both HiFi DAC with 3.5mm Jack and good camera like Flip.

              YUKI93, 09 May 2021Regarding the Flip version, apparently, it will miss out on... moreWe'll have to see. Last year they had to excuse of external modem taking extra space and hence they ditched the jack. This time there's no such issue, so it might be making a come back. Also, gsmarena specs are all wrong. It says 90hz display when Asus itself teased 120hz display. Don't believe the specs, they are just copy paste from Zenfone 7.

                YUKI93, 09 May 2021But just like LG phones, ASUS ZenFone models are not availa... moreWas Zenfone 5 series available? If yes, chances are Zenfone 8 might come too. The flipcam phones had really limited availability, Zenfone 6 was always out of stock everywhere, and Zenfone 7 didn't make it to most of the markets (even USA and India).
                It's already been hinted that Zenfone 8 series will make a comeback in India. So let's hope other markets get it too!

                  salarx, 09 May 2021It feels like Asus will fill the void created by LG (and So... moreBut just like LG phones, ASUS ZenFone models are not available everywhere. Even here in Malaysia, ASUS only officially brings in the ROG Phone. I'm far more interested in the ZenFone instead.

                    Muzik, 09 May 2021No No. I am not offended. Sorry if it feels that way. Sorry... moreOh, that's nice. I've heard some beyer sub 50 ohms being able to do that. Didn't know m50x did that too.

                      Muzik, 09 May 2021Ya, we don't know that info yet. But about Rog 5 DAC, ... moreRegarding the Flip version, apparently, it will miss out on the 3.5mm audio jack just like last year's ZenFone 7 and ZenFone 7 Pro.

                        salarx, 09 May 2021It's not that they can't put a higher quality DAC... moreYes, That 1 % are guys like us, who listen music (Good Listening) and lost for a while. And I would like to take full advantage of DAC if any company (Non-Chinese) provides it. Thanks for your views.

                          Rkm, 09 May 2021Sorry if I offended you, I mentioned the ohm part not to de... moreNo No. I am not offended. Sorry if it feels that way. Sorry. I agree on every single point you said. But ATH M50x is able to trigger the DAC for me without any other connector or anything. Yes, for Sony I using a bypass 3.5 mm connector. But still, I can say it will be sufficient if Asus will provide a dedicated DAC. And If these headphones or iems wont able to fire ASUS latest DAC, I am very much happy to spend money on Headphones and IEMS if that worth spending. Thanks for the Info.

                                    Someguy20, 08 May 2021This phone is actually sooo goodAgreed, all depends on price though. I would have to see this phone with a more affordable SoC like the 780 as well, but at the right price this one will be a winner too.

                                      It feels like Asus will fill the void created by LG (and Sony in some markets). They clearly have better knowledge of the smartphone space than LG (or Sony, who has just woken). I believe there's no 'mini', but simply vanilla Zenfone 8, and maybe an 8 Pro, which might carry telephoto. The third one is definitely Zenfone Flip.

                                        Muzik, 09 May 2021Ya, we don't know that info yet. But about Rog 5 DAC, ... moreIt's not that they can't put a higher quality DAC, they can, but it'll unnecessarily increase the cost of the phone, and maybe please the 1% of the potential buyers. A really high quality DAC is a niche among the niche; majority buyers are not gonna be able to take advantage of it.
