  • I was prepared to really dislike my time with this phone, but after a wedding weekend with this accessible but powerful package, the ASUS Zenfone 8 started to win me over -- even if the cameras are not spectacular, they still get the job done. So come along for a fun weekend through the lens of the ASUS Zenfone 8 in this Real World Camera Test!

    Now that's what I call a camera test! And it's way more than just a decent camera. And being backed up by a great bundle of powerful tech. I could imagine going for that phone. I would have gone for last year's flippy dippy but was repelled by the lack of a headphone jack which they still had in the Zenfone 6. So they excelled in their cameras but cut out a must be feature for me simply because you can connect external microphones so much easier and still connect a charger when needed at the time of recording plus you are not wearing out the flimsy USB-C as much. Sadly again ASUS didn't include the jack on this year's Zenfone flipper. But at least they included it in this little power house. And the front facing snapper on this one seems to be pretty capable, too. I also actually do appreciate the smaller form factor. If they would be a bit bolder and implement some color design action on their next creation of such a phone it could become a lady's champ as well I think. Let's see if ASUS will continue this line. I guess it depends very much though on how this phone is received in general. Bang the drums ASUS!

    Hi I am struggling to choose between s20fe 5g and asus zenfone 8. I mainly use it for watching youtube, taking call, use as GPS in my car and taking pictures/videos. They are similarly priced here in Australia. I want one with good cameras, and has decent battery to last me the whole day(s20fe has a larger battery, but a bigger screen to power, whereas the asus has a smaller screen, and a newer processor). S20fe comes with 6gb of Ram here in AU, and asus with 8gb of Ram. I have an Asus Max Pro 2, at the moment. The battery is fine, but after sales software updates is a concern for the Asus, and hoping it would be better with Samsung. The OS is clean for Asus, so it's a plus, but samsung comes with its security and other perks. Can you please help me choose? Please remember the camera and the battery life.
