ASUS Zenfone 8 and 8 Official Flip: Double the top of the range. The prices

Asus In this round it has been decided to double this offer and offers two different options: Zenphone 8 Wink on the smallest smartphone lovers, Zenphone 8 flip Instead it follows the idea of ​​a group of rotating cameras.

The real novelty is Compact model with 5.9 inch display, A true top of the range depending on the stage Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, Shared with the flip version. Both are compatible With the new generation network, But when sharing part of the data sheet – ZenUI 8, AMOLED panel with integrated fingerprint sensor and WiFi 6E – They differ in some important details..

Starting from the battery, from 4.000mAh At 8 and from 5.000mAh 8 on the flip, as well as apparently for the diagonal of the display, which is on the flip 6,67 ” Protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus (both FHD +). And the refresh rate also changes, a 120 Hz On compact models against i 90 Hz Bigger than most. Another element of differentiation is clearly the photographic field, whose composition is as follows:

• Zenfone 8:
  • Rear: 64MP Main Sony IMX686 + 12MP Ultra Wide Angle Sony IMX363
  • Front: 12MP Sony IMX663
• Zenfone 8 Flip:
  • Rear / Front: 64MP Main Sony IMX686 + 12MP Ultra Wide Angle Sony IMX363 + 8MP Tele with 3x Optical Zoom

The Zenfone 8 therefore “loses” a cam at the back, “replaces” the 12MP front with the Sony IMX 363 dual pixel sensor and 14.3mm focal length (35mm IQ). It has very compact dimensions (for 148×68.5×8.9 mm. Weighs 169 grams) and has a completely new satin glass finish in a 3D curved back.

Zenfone 8 is flip instead Zenfone 7’s direct descendant pro: Not much has changed over the past year, both in size and substance, the flip camera is still the absolute hero and now gets a new and quieter motor capable of overturning the module in no time. ASUS also talks about the system’s greater reliability and “unprecedented” self-portraits, it’s easy to take advantage of the three rear cameras.

The hardware platform is shared with the younger sibling, then the Snapdragon 888, and two different configurations that look at 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128 or 256GB internal memory (always on UFS 3.1) in each case. The performance is Those who have already described in depth the Zenfone 8 reviewNothing much and nothing less, if you really want to nitpick, then you have to remember this There is no variant in this model with 16 GB RAM memory.

Aesthetically unchanged compared to last year, it easily penetrates the cover of a Zenfone 7 Pro and looks like us in everything, the front panel on the other side is the same 6.67-inch: it doesn’t change the comma!
