I just purchased the zenfone 8 with 256gb memory and 8gb ram. In the us we only have a choice of storage not ram. I purchased this phone because of your review and also mrwhosetheboss review. Great phone so far, I'm coming from a Oneplus 9 pro.

Purchased the Zenfone 8 256gb last week after reading online reviews and other research stations, on paper the Zenfone has great specs and expectations, boy was I wrong. Overall performance is ok, the SD888 saved it there, as it is quick, but had a few glitches. Its very small for my hands, and slippery. It also got fairly warm with not much heavy use. Now the battery is rubbish, around 4hrs SOT without AOD active, and I'm not a heavy user. Started with 100% 6:30am did medium use, i:e, social media, YouTube, and a little gaming and by 7pm I was at around 10% juice left. If I was a heavy user, I'd be looking for the charger by 3pm... It could have been just my unit, but yeah, wouldn't recommend, especially for $1099 AUD...

12.5h SoT when browsing the internet? Almost 16h when watching videos? I call bs until someone records a timelapse of it. Turn every single setting that let you conserve battery and I guarantee you you won't get more than 8h SoT doing these things.

Andy, I had already returned my Zenfone 8 when the update you mentioned was rolled out. However, if you're curious about the latest developments on call quality, you could check the official Asus forum: https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/48291/poor-voice-quality#latest.
At a glance, it seems the issue is still present for users not having access to VoLTE.

You pushed my main hot (hate) button about the site's reviews: Despite being wonderfully complete in most areas, there is NO MENTION of, you know, making phone calls (except tangentially in the battery tests). I'd like to see someone spend a little time to tell me about call quality in and outbound, ability to work with various US (etc.) 5g providers, etc. Oh, yeah, some networking benchmarks with LTE, 5G, and WiFi would be nice! You'd think these things were primarily cameras that can play games. Some of us actually need to make phone calls, Zoom, and move data around.

I owned a Zenfone 8 for about a week before returning it. I was generally quite satisfied with everything but call quality. While it was somewhat tolerable on my end, people on the other end complained about not hearing the first few words every time I started to speak. That was a major deal breaker for me, as the phone failed to serve its primary purpose. I was also disappointed by the fact most reviews (the GSMarena one included) didn't mention this issue at all. After all, both I and GSMarena's office are located in Bulgaria, so I don't know how they failed to notice this...

The review here keeps mentioning "lossless zoom". No doubt a term from Asus' marketing department. But since the phone crops from a 64 mpix image, it is of course not lossless..
