What's the difference between the zenfone 8 zoom capabilities and the samsung galaxy s21? Given that both use a 64MP sensor but Samsung can do 3x hybrid zoom and zenfone only 2x loosless? Thanks.

The reviewers mention it, but not to the extent they should. That saves battery too. You can throttle the phone down to the level if a S10e, which is still very fast. And you still get the high refresh screen. The only real downside of the phone is the lack of nice 3rd party accessories, like cases and nice screen protectors. One can not beat Samsungs,Pixels and iphones at that.

                aphdstudent, 13 Jul 2021Could you share your experience with: Battery life Finger... moreI got a Zenfone 8 8/128gb on a recdnt Amaxon sale for 535 Euros, and I feel like a thief. This phone is everything GSM Arena's review claimed it was, and I have experienced zero of the issues people have mentioned.

                It gets warm when charging, but not very significantly. During use, heating is not noticable.

                The fingerprint sensorworks perfectly well, even if it may not be the fastest out there. No issues with unlocking my phone.

                The battery life is just fine? For a Snapdragon 888 phone with a 4000 mAh battery, I don't have anything to complain about. One comment below has mentioned "3-4 hours SoT". Well, I get about 6.5 hours on the Auto refresh setting.

                I think people don't quite realize just how small the Zenfone 8 feels. The experience of holding it is like that of an iPhone 6/7/8, but somewhat taller and a good deal handier thanks to how curved the back is. There isn't a current gen Android more comfortable to use, and the feature list of this phone really is exhaustive. I don't know how people expect a MicroSD slot and wireless charging: this thing is full to the brim as it is. Even if compactness isn't a draw to you, the price should be.

                  An0n, 21 Sep 2021I wish Asus made another one with SD 778G or SD 780G, sigh.... moreThat's right. I am choosing between Nord 2, Mi 11 Lite 5G and Zenfone 8. But if I get this phone, I won't be able to upgrade right? cause it already has a fast cpu.

                      I wish Asus made another one with SD 778G or SD 780G, sigh. SD 888 is overkill for this petite phone, and also my pocket, lol.

                        be careful with this phone, i got it sometime in july, and 1 month after, it bricked with a "ramdump" issue. Many owners experiencing the same issue. GG

                          Very hot phone

                              Got it yesterday, amazing phone. Using it in 120 Hertz mode, without AOD, not quite sure about the battery life yet but so far I'm very happy, the camera takes good photos, the microphone sounds nice and clean, the speakers are very suprising although not as loud as my old phone but simply superior in sound and even the headphone jack sounds very, very good! Nice phone, I can recommend it.
