We know Asus more for its laptops and PC equipment; however, its smartphone division has been making some solid devices for a long time. A couple of months ago, Asus launched the ROG Phone 5, which I consider a truly outstanding "gaming smartphone" accessible. The Zenfone series is pointed more at standard users, and despite having a little share in the mobile market, it's anything but a smartphone.

For the Zenfone 8, Asus needed to make "a compact Android phone," pointing it at the small phone market that has been generally underserved. Also, did they swing for the wall? The 5.9-inch FHD+ AMOLED Samsung panel approaches 120Hz and has a pinnacle max brightness of 1100 nits. Display geeks will likewise appreciate in-your-face specs like 112% DCI-P3 and Delta-E<1 for super-exact shadings. This presentation is terrific in each climate and a genuine delight for small phone lovers.

Inside the Zenfone 8 is the most recent Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G chip combined with up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS3.1 SSD and cooled through heat-pipe. Comparing Zenfone 8 with my experience with the ROG Phone 5 doing comparable specs, I discovered the standard phone to be similarly intelligent and responsive. Nothing was missing for power, and I was dazzled with its exhibition in both ordinary and hefty assignments, such as gaming. The phone got a bit hotter under heavier jobs than the ROG Phone 5, but with the size decrease, that did not astound me, and it's anything but a serious problem.
