Bought zenfone 7 pro over galaxy (I own every single galaxy 1 - 10) because of physical fingerprint sensor. Under display scanner is major failure.. and now this... lol
All they had to do was release phone with better speakers, but they decided to downgrade with scanner. First and last Asus phone (really good phone btw) Zenfone 7pro.

    [deleted post]Most of those reviews were released when phone was running pre release software, software that doesn't ship to end users.

    S21 with OIS giving blurry images/videos compared to Oneplus 9 with OIS

      Please make a pro version of this flip version. I need headphone jack and preferably 130hz and even bigger battery. There is 128 9gb or 256gb storage so micro sd can be removed (just an option, but prefer you keep it of course)

          AnonD-994853, 14 May 2021Lol, OIS is more than that. Reason why photos at night are ... moreOnePlus 9 also clicks great images without OIS in low light, especially video when you compared to Galaxy s21 which does come with OIS.
          You nothing boy.

            The motorized mechanism does the job of stabilizing.
            You'd know if you used one.

              Thank you for that in depth review!!! Good job...😊😊😊

                    I would buy only if it had what other model has: 120hz and audio jack. But taking those out and OIS and a mediocre camera is not worth it

                      I have never seen this type before
                      My fear is how long will the flex holding the camera works? Because I remember that phone with the flip eventually develop flex problem

                        Lord Android , 14 May 2021Don't need OIS as the motorized mechanism gives enough... moreLol, OIS is more than that. Reason why photos at night are soft is because the lack of OIS. Even night mode are a bit blurry. As far as i know, all phones without OIS have bad soft and blurrt night shots, sometimes only slightly. When you pay premium, you need to put something exceptional too. Mate 40 Pro is an exception as the enormous sensor and RYYB as well as Huawei processing makes up for the Lack of OIS, but not with the small 64 Mp zenfone 8 flip sensor.

                            Haplo, 14 May 2021Yep, no OIS is both a joke and a slap to the face. Useless!... moreDon't need OIS as the motorized mechanism gives enough stability.
                            One can get smooth panaromas on this phone without having to move.
                            Even phones with OIS struggle to do this.

                              Phone without 3.5 jack should at least have reverse wireless charger at this price category for TWS headphones.

                                T M, 14 May 2021No OIS for the main camera is a joke at this price point. Yep, no OIS is both a joke and a slap to the face. Useless!
                                Also really dissapointed GSMArena. If you had any obectivity, you should be crying in CAPS "No OIS - don't buy if the camera experience is even remotely important to you".

                                  DudeShift, 13 May 2021"affordable priced phone that is great overall" ... moreDude just get a redmi note 10 pro or a poco f3.
                                  Similar price to what oneplusone had at launch and much much better due to years of tech progress.

                                    Since the 8 Flip is nothing more than a Zenfone 7 with an SD 888 chipset, I wonder if there would be a Pro version of the 8 Flip based on the Zenfone 7 Pro.

                                      The phone was nice and asus camera are always giving accurate and onpiont colors as much as the price wont change, still the number one value king of all phones out there.

                                        Ravi, 13 May 2021I was waiting for this phone, but no OIS? What the heck wer... moreYeah a lot of people seem to skip over the fact it doesn't have OIS. You would think if you're only going to keep making the flip and only have one version you would add OIS. The whole gimmick is full uninterrupted screen and good cameras / excellent selfie camera. So let's basically refresh the phone from last year, make it look a bit more boring (not a big deal just an observation), remove OIS, and raise price. Like others have said I hope they make a Flip Pro, but I think this is the last flip we will see unfortunately. Truly a shame phone makers don't really care about what people want
