Same price on the Zenfone 8 Flip as on the Zenfone 7 Pro but no OIS anymore? What the hell was Asus thinking? A phone that shines with having the same camera quality for selfies as for regular photos, and then they put in worse cameras than last year? Is there still a "Pro" version coming later or is this a late April Fools joke?

      They are not forced by them to buy bigger screen, with notch or hole.

      If Asus wanted the screen with 120, Samsung would have sold.
      Simply choice from Asus to avoid more costs.

          Anonymous, 12 May 2021Breathing is a gimmick too.yeah, so 5G is at least or much important like breathing? ;)

            Nobody needs a phone under 500 Hz display refresh rate :D

              Unsurprising no headphone jack.

                They really want to kill the the Flip lineup. They have placed the flip in such a way that people will buy the vanilla 8 over it. It was a great phone though, feels like they'll launch the Pro variants later this year with Snapdragon 888 Plus chip.

                                    Idk but the way they positioned the camera module on the 8 lower than usual looks kinda cute.
