Asus Zenfone 8 is a 5.9" flagship with an S888 chip, Zenfone 8 Flip keeps rotating cam

12 May 2021
The Zenfone 8 is smaller than the Xperia 5 III. The Flip is a Zenfone 7 with a Snapdragon 888 and a few other tweaks. Available for pre-order today.

Now that LG Mobile has closed its door, the non-flip ZenFone 8 is definitely a worthy spiritual successor to the LG V60. I'm so happy to see FM Radio support on a flagship-grade smartphone again since only LG dares enough to do it. I really hope that ASUS Malaysia will officially bring it here since I'm far more interested with the ZenFone instead of the ROG Phone.

As for the ZenFone 8 Flip, that is basically 2020 ZenFone 7 with SD 888 chipset. That's about it, everything else still remains the same.

    other than Asus average record on os/security updates these phone not bad at all . but they should included the telephoto zoom lens in zen8 too .
    Anyways does notification light available in near charging port too like last year phones ?

      Like I said before in other pages. PUNCH HOLE RULES.


      and you can get mini phones these days if it use this design choices.

          God cannot fulfill human beings' desire. At least a few people make complaint about something whenever a new phone is announced/released.

            So whats the difference between this and Zenfone 7 pro??

            Zoom cam 1080P/30Fps??

            Iphone 7 had 4k on that 7 years ago.

            I expect cheap price like under 500$. U cant go with so much negatives vs samsung phones

              They trynna phase out them rotating cams people. Without those lil selfi punch holes they cant spy on you!!

                  IMX686 is an outdated two year old camera sensor. That's not flagship.

                      Woohoo, 12 May 2021Have you heard of Xperia 5 III by any chance? It ✅s everyth... moreYeah, the 5 III is the only phone on the market I could see myself buying (or the 5 II).

                      It doesn't quite hit everything though, the expandable storage slot is shared with the dual SIM slot, both are features that I want simultaneously rather than having to choose one or the other.
                      To my knowledge the Zenfone line is the only smartphone line that features an expandable storage slot and a dual SIM slot, rather than them sharing the same slot.

And it's quite reasonable on why they put such a pricetag for the specs which is comparable to S21, Oneplus 9 or even iPhone 12. This phone is defo a flagship, not a flagship killer 🤷

                            No headphone jack on the Flip?? Now I lost all hope for it to come back... my Zenfone 6 should still be good for a couple of years... The zenfone 8 seems like a neat phone, tho I would not buy it.

                              €670? Well, so long Asus. Never've dreamed to spend more than €500 max on your mobile. Well, for rotten apple i might do, but for you?✌️Then I shall read all comment about your Z8,that's all I can do from now. Greetings to farewel you from Indonesia.

It neither has bigger sensors with OIS nor bigger speaker with great haptic feedback. And the battery is smaller 3100mAh

                                    If the screen be from edge to edge, bottom to top it be like 135mm tall phone and then we could say it's a compact. Even tough Samsung A40 is 2 years old it has also 5.9 inch screen but in body size is 144mm tall and 69 mm wide

                                      Flip is just a joke of a phone compared to the standard 8. Really don't understand the logic here. You can fit it 120hz screen, 3.5mm jack and a triple slot on the small phone, but don't have space for it on the bigger phone?! Just shambles the current smartphone industry is.

                                        salarx, 12 May 2021I love the Zenfone with flipcam, but this year they really ... moreThey could bring the pro version with SD888+, 120Hz screen and maybe a better camera. Not sure the pro brings the 3.5mm jack
