amazon ASUS ZenFone 8 reviews
Design and Display
Design overview, the ZenFone 8 strongly impresses users at first sight with a really compact size. Given that, you can easily hold and use this phone with one hand.
On the contrary, this phone houses tempered glass all the way through its sides and an aluminum bezel, giving a sturdy feel. ZenFone 8 is also the first ASUS smartphone that comes with an IP68-rating for water and dust resistance.
The color that we are reviewing here is Obsidian Black, which has a matte black finish that enhances the elegance and classy looks of the phone. This design will also help the grip in the user’s hand and resist a bit against sweat and fingerprints.
The front of its display houses a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen, an experimental punch-hole design that holds in its stead the selfie camera at the top left corner. The quality of the screen maintains that being in the high-end section, anything that’s worthy of being high-end would do exceptional in screen quality to the tune of delivering sharp images in Full-HD + screen resolution and provide most accurate color reproduction backed up with an awe-inspiring color gamut covering 112 DCI-P3 151.9 sRGB, and HDR10+.
Apart from that, the ZenFone 8 screen also enjoys a refresh rate of 120Hz, thereby assuring the smooth experience of the user when scrolling through web pages, images, or playing games. Last but not least, the flagship brightness goes to 1,100 nits-in other words, nothing less than impressive outdoor visibility.
Performance
Not much of a surprise, considering the fact that the ASUS ZenFone 8 is powered up by potentially the best in the market SoC-getting this Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, which is also preserved in the majority of the other flagship Android smartphones.
Therefore, it has an incredible performance device that will easily take on any task put forth from everyday use, even to the intense gaming with the most heavy graphic titles without so much as the minimal stutter or lag.
Apart from that, this new generation flagship from ASUS also incorporates UFS 3.1 256GB internal memory and LPDDR5 RAM very fast at 16GB.
Camera
ASUS ZenFone 8 offers two cameras on the back, big sensors housed in a large rectangular module. The camera system consists of a 64MP Sony IMX686 main sensor with OIS optical image stabilization technology, while the second camera is a 12MP Sony IMX363 with an ultra-wide lens with a 112-degree field of view. Basically, the ZenFone 8 lacks a telephoto camera for optical zoom, unlike some of its rivals in the same segment.
While practical experience shows that in conditions brighter than bright, this camera is producing quality images with pretty high dynamic range and exposure, sufficiently rendering vivid and pleasing colors. In addition to that, the images are pretty detailed and sharp with some noise reduction.
The ZenFone 8 performs well, taking low-light photos with nice, sharp color contrast and detail, even without activating dedicated night mode. Choosing to use night mode will give you photos with a bit more saturation for aesthetics, even though this may be somewhat unnatural.
The ultra-wide camera gives pretty colors that are just detailed enough. You can also use night mode for shooting with the ZenFone 8’s ultra-wide lens and brighten that photo a bit more.
Besides landscape, building, or architecture lovers, the super wide-angle lens additionally facilitates Auto Focus, enabling users to click pictures up close to the subject. The statue is a distance of 4 cm from the camera. The image quality is good, enlivened by beautiful bokeh effects and background removal.
Battery and charging
ASUS ZenFone 8, which is installed with a 4,000 mAh battery, is not too big in size but is enough for the extended session of use.
Additionally, this phone supports 30W fast charging, which charges the phone from 0 to 100 in under 1.5 hours. That may not be the fastest in the segment, but it is still decent.
Conclusion
In overall, the ASUS ZenFone 8 deservingly grabs all considerations for buyers who do not want to part with more than 1,000 dollars for a smartphone. It has got all the premium features that matter to the users-the quality display, really fast performance, a quality camera system, and the clean interface free of bloatware.
