Zenfone 8 review: Asus’ small but mighty phone is a winner
CNET Senior Editor Sareena Dayaram (@sareenadayaram) reviews the new Asus Zenfone 8, which is being billed as “the ultimate compact Android phone.” Asus didn’t get rid of its cool flipping camera entirely — an upgraded version features on the Zenfone 8 Flip , but that device will likely not see a US release.

I’m so disappointed and sad…
The compact ZenFone 8 could have been the perfect device.
Only 3 things are missing:
1. Flip Up Camera
2. Support for GrapheneOS and CalyxOS
3. Removable battery
Everything else is perfect…
– It’s compact
– Has a headphone Jack
– Expandable storage
– Under screen Fingerprint scanner
– A flat screen without curves
I really hope ASUS will do better next time, they missed out on launching the best phone for consumers…

Asus phones are always impressive in the reviews but worldwide they are sold in limited quantities, sometimes a complete model is skipped like 7 in my country.

What was that game?
Galaxy rock Studio
May 13, 2021 at 3:48 pm
It’s called “Genshin impact”
It’s about 8 gigabytes and it’s a heavy game so it will make your phone overheat
Unless you play it on low settings then it won’t overheat your phone
Sourav Saha
May 13, 2021 at 4:09 pm
Oh. Thank you for your help.

I think you missed most important aspect; your review comments about audio quality. DAC, headphone jack output and speaker/s quality. Can you share an update? Considering it is going to be go to phone for LG G/ V series fans.
