My mobile requirement was basically: as small as possible, which can fit in the palm of your hand, fast, not rushing. There were only 2 types of more powerful small mobiles to choose from: this and the iPhone mini. I decided on the Zenfone based on a good experience with an Asus laptop years ago (price/performance), the fact that I was used to Android, and the price, which in comparable mobile parameters was almost 2x lower than this Zenfone (I bought it on Alza 1.12.22 for 10,980 CZK, a discount of approx. 19 thousand. ), so I' m reviewing after a year of use. My initial satisfaction (including a trip to the tropics, it didn' t overheat there either), was marred by the experience that the mobile got stuck during normal activity (after less than 3 months. usage). The complaint was devastating, I don' t know how long the mobile was transported to the Ostrava service center. I know it was 56% charged at the time it stuck, and the service told me it was probably a bad charge (as they got it almost dead, but they never said when I directly asked how much; it was quite cold), and he wanted to solve the matter by sending an offer to buy the original charger (which, however, was already part of the orig. packaging and I used it regularly, I just didn' t send it to the service center together with the mobile phone - for some reason they wanted to send it with the charger as well. Trumpeters didn' t know that everyone who bought it had to have it). Just by the way, they then wrote to me that they changed the software. It came back to me frozen and charged to 18% after 3 weeks (sent to service and received via DPD), it took 3 weeks through several phone calls and clarifications. No apology. Since then, the Zenfone 8 has been working at 100%. Full satisfaction with my, admittedly not very big, claims. I use the 4G+ network, it' s quite enough for me. It' s lightning fast, I wish I had a laptop and computer like that too. I think that the Zenfone 8 was put into circulation prematurely without catching any flies, however, our Taiwanese comrades have probably already corrected their mistakes. So if I wanted to buy a smaller mobile now, I could recommend it, the price/performance ratio is good compared to the mini-iPhone, unfortunately there is probably no other competition.
Fast as a dragon, powerful, does not cut (except for 1x, see minuses), does not overheat. Have 8 GB of oper. the memory is fine, maybe only twice a year since I have the Zenfone, I preferred to restart it because of the slowness (multiple streams at once). One year of satisfaction
Relatively small (the mini-iPhone is actually smaller, I don' t understand why everyone only makes " paddles" ). It fits in the palm of your hand and many things can be done with one hand. The iPhone-mini is smaller and slightly lighter. My previous phone, Sony-Xperia-mini, was significantly smaller and lighter
The display is nice, contrasting, the colors are moderate, without reservations (the iPhone is probably more colorful). It is only drilled with a small hole for selfies, other brands usually have it worse. The overall design (if you put up with it) will not embarrass you
Photos and videos pretty good, not great, iPhone probably slightly better in that regard
128 GB of storage is enough for me when using space reasonably (photos and videos, if you have more than a few, it is better to store them in another storage). Then the absence of an SD card slot doesn' t matter
Bluetooth pairs well, has a relatively good (far) range
A complaint was necessary (it crashed and wouldn' t restart). But they got it right, even if their overall approach, including the final report, was quite comical (see text)
The fingerprint (it is possible to enter 2) works pretty well on the display for me on the left thumb, but poorly on the right, I tried to improve it somehow, it didn' t work. It recognizes faces well if there is enough light (the iPhone is probably faster in this regard). Sony-Xperia had a fingerprint reader on the side on the launch button and it worked much faster, perfectly
It slides a little in the hands, the original Asus back cover is a little better, but even that is quite slippery

It is impossible to find a small yet good mobile phone these days, this Asus is the solution. A gem and for the price of returned goods 6.6 k a clear choice. I wish he would last a few years.

I don' t understand why this phone has such a low rating

Zenfone 8 8GB/256GB black I bought the mobile on 13.07.2021 and despite many positives I give 2*, because 3 weeks before the warranty period expired, the mobile turned itself off and could not be turned on, so the complaint, in 3 weeks I returned it "repaired", while according to the service document, the motherboard was replaced and updated. Well now it's been roughly 3 weeks since the repair and yesterday (again out of the blue) the display started reporting the message "Waiting for flashing rumdump", which according to various sites is an error that requires replacing the motherboard: D: D: D I chose this Asus because of the size and the jack connector, otherwise I have always preferred Samsung and after this experience, never anything else! I always pass my Samsung on to my mom when I buy a new one and it has always lasted for 7 years or so: )
Small (compact)
Handles many processes smoothly at once
Super camera
Jack connector
Back button anywhere on the side of the display
Pretty decent battery life
The front camera is right in the display (it's weird)

Overall the phone is not much, I shouldn't have bought it. I've had it since Christmas and it has completely shut down 2 times already by draining the battery. I'm afraid that when I really need it in a critical situation it will be dead.
In terms of functionality perfect phone .
So far, he's outperformed everything I've had so far.
Totally inadequate battery life and I use it rather little. Telephone calls occasionally, email here and there, messages. I charge at 80%, for a person who needs to be constantly on the phone or watches some video so this phone is completely unusable.

After a long time a very decent android phone. I was deciding between the iPhone 2022 SE and this Zenfone 8 the criteria was size. Asus is a better choice overall the phone is more equipped. If Zenfone goes further in this direction the next phone will be Asus again.
finally a "compact" phone 160g in size like the iphone SE 2022
excellent stereo speakers
high quality audio output 3.5mm 32-bit/384kHz with Dirac
IP68 waterproof
Excellent display 120Hz, HDR10+, 700 nits
Snapdragon 888 doesn't cut it
High quality aluminium body
notification LED
Decent rear photo
8GB ram
weaker front selfie camera
no SD card slot
the fingerprint reader would be better on the side (on the button) if the phone is off sometimes on the display looking
weaker battery but nothing terrible for a compact, it's to be expected android is just a more demanding system

What I wanted from the phone before I bought it was: to be compact in the hand, to take excellent photos, to be waterproof, to have a fast processor without choppiness, to charge quickly, to have a decent sound, to last as long as possible on the battery. The Asus Zenfone 8 was a hot candidate along with the Iphone 13 mini or Iphone 12 mini. I felt I was leaning towards the Asus Zenfone 8, also ultimately decided by the better price and the fact that I am more inclined to Android systems. Asus Zenfone 8 runs on a fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, which is great, nothing crashes, excellent is with this phone just taking pictures, photos are just great, videos also, you can see the image stabilization, settings, really good. Charging the battery is fast - 30w charger included, by the watch the phone is charged. At first I was worried about the battery life - it is 4000 mAh - but it lasted about a day, I was still wondering how to set it up better, and it is possible, it takes a bit of work to turn off services that you don't need or want, today (I'm not demanding to consume internet content and games) for work the phone lasts me up to 7 days (wifi always on, disabled automatic access of apps to the internet (I can read messages though), occasional photography, minimal music and video playback, normal strict communication with clients, etc. ), but if I start using the phone more, the battery life goes down, the two to three days are fine. For the phone's battery life, the Asus option to set the battery to ultra durable is also good, it helps a lot.
IP68 water resistance
compact size (ideal for the hand)
excellent photos
video with image stabilization (awesome)
excellent speakers
fast charging 30w
beautiful 120Hz amoled display
options for adjusting battery life
fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor
although it is dimensionally ideal in the hand, so without the case in the hand slides, (the cover that comes with the phone is also not ideal) after buying another case, but it's ok.
someone will argue that it lacks wireless charging, but you can live with that too, or buy a charging case somewhere (coil in the case to usb-c) like I did

For 500 CZK, I had a protective film glued on by Alza. It lasted two days and the display with it had a “rainbow grain“ like when it' s wet. I quit and would not use the service again

Quite a decent mobile at a still acceptable price, however, as with my previous asus, there are again bugs in the firmware and updates that are better blocked. After updating to Android 12 (which, by the way, is very ugly and a design step in the wrong direction) the proximity sensor completely stopped working, so when you make a call you press your ear on the display, this can be solved with an application from google play (without root) so be it, but for God' s sake why Asus why? This is a pretty important thing. But what I really like is the really solid performance, finally nothing gets cut, over the last 4 years the HW demands of applications and Android itself have increased so much that the previous Zenfone Zoom S phone was simply unusable. I like that it has slightly smaller dimensions than is customary today, approximately like old 5“ mobile phones, which is an ideal compromise between a still reasonably large keyboard and compactness in the pocket, mostly when you break the display, because the mobile phone is too big and it' s difficult to it holds, this mobile holds very well and the fact that it is a little thicker helps, the trend of thinnest mobile phones is probably over. The battery life when the display is on and when working on the mobile is quite weak, you can literally see how the battery percentages drop, but when the mobile is locked, the consumption is quite small, so if you don' t keep looking at it, it could last the 2 days in standby mode. If you tweak the battery modes, you will probably get a better endurance, but this is a tax for high performance, I would just expect that in 2022 the mobile phones will scale better and that it won' t eat up so much if you just fiddle with the icons on the desktop. In my opinion, the rounded corners of the display look rather unaesthetic, especially in combination with some applications where it doesn' t really fit, but that' s the time, you can' t find a mobile phone with a square display anymore, and the display probably couldn' t be that big. The mobile also does not contain any ballast and bloatware, which is definitely a positive development.
great system performance and speed
small size
5g, NFC and other conveniences that weren' t standard until recently
the phone does not contain any ballast or bloatware from the factory
Proximity sensor not working!
didn' t really like the update to Android 12, it' s a disgusting system
battery life is really weak when using the mobile phone actively
