      Is Asus cutting costs? If yes, better to have leave it without IP rating and just focus on the gaming features. But if they want to be a serious top player, they need a better camera added to the bundle. They probably are the best gaming phone but I don't think it is enough to have real success, at least a good camera, software support and good heat management are required. And of course, either upgrade the gaming gadgets or allow buyers to use gadgets from other makers, that are anyway specialized on these and a lot better and..cheaper.

        woahhh!! gaming phone splash resitant!!!! real 😱😱😱😱

          DMX, 25 Jun 2022They don't even sell that line, that's why they h... moreI don't think they sell it in the US anymore, but they do still sell it in other countries. I just went onto Asus' UK website and they're definitely still selling the Zenfone 8 - or at least the Buy page is working and fully functional. The Zenfone 8 was even launched in India as the Asus 8z, back in March.

          They're definitely doing a Zenfone 9, it just may be a while before it releases as they've been figuring out how to cram a SD 8G1 into a compact form factor.
          A Zenfone 9 Flip is quite unlikely since sales for the Flip models has been declining significantly, especially after punch-holes were way more widely accepted and UDC phones began being sold.

And then they announced Zenfone 8 in May and released it a day later. I'm guessing the first official teaser for Zenfone 9 will drop at the end of July, at the earliest.

                                  If I remember right, last year in May Asus has announced their Zenfone lineup. Now it is the end of June, yet no information about the successors.

                                    I wonder if ROG phones are even worth it at all, competitors seem to outdo ASUS on gaming phones at much lower price points.
