AlexanderT, 14 May 2021Sony flagships have SD card slots All other Zenfone had dedicated card slots. It's because of the size constraint. The Xperia might seem to have similar screen size, but it's actually taller cuz of those bezels, so more space.

I really hope people will consider this phone over these giant smarpthones. In my country people doesn't know much about Asus but there are doing great job with their product.

Wireless charging is slow and it's a gimmick. In general ASUS never released any Phones with Wireless charging. So you can't say it is missing..
I feel, except dedicated telephone lens it has everything.. actually more than what any other phone is offering for that price and this compactness

Asus Zenfone 8 could have got better cameras & dedicated SD card slot like Asus Zenfone 8 Flip

Fantastic phone by Asus. I really like how they're targeting a specific target market instead of trying to compete with Samsung, iPhone flagships etc. The fact that there is already 10 pages of comments on this review shows that this phone is going to be a superhit.

Except wireless ... moreIt has OIS, do your research. SD Card is nonexistent for last few years, Everybody has forgotten about it. Wireless charging is a gimmick which 90% people don't care about.
This comment sounds like it was written by a toxic person who always thinks negatively.

This is a flagship, no zoom and no Qi are compromises that shouldn't be there.

A... moreThose bezels are no different to display area, it's the same overall footprint. Do you think there's nothing behind the top and bottom of the display?
I hate Samsung phones, their OS drives me nuts, I wanted this phone to be an easy buy. As it is it compromises too much in the camera department for me.
Apparently there's no OIS on the Zenfone either so that's a second issue.
Extra battery is easily absorbed in thickness, bringing the back up level with the camera bump would allow wireless charging, a third lens and the same battery capacity without making the phone any thicker overall.
Needless compromises have been made on this flagship.

Fahreddin Kaya, 13 May 2021First of all this phone is not compact sized or mini phone,... moreThough I agree the S10e has functions that this phone should have the cameras are pretty weak and the battery life is terrible on the Samsung.

Goodboy, 13 May 2021Cameras are same? Are you sure? Please put your glasses on.... moreThe cameras are functionally the same, use your brain, a telephoto would have made a big difference.
Both processors are perfectly capable.
The Zenfone has features missing that would make it a no-brainer instant buy, that's my entire point.
