This is for sure going to be my next phone. A Compact flagship that's lightweight with SD888, IP68, Just 2 meaningful cameras with OIS, good stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm jack. No fancy gimmicks and a decent price. Good job Asus.
hey michael, been watching your reviews for a while and it's by far one of the best shot and edited reviews. it's shot well and simple! your reviews are informing and straightforward. anyways keep up the great work. as for this review, i wish there was more photo samples!
Asus is capable delivering on what HTC & LG missed out on.. The silver colour does do justice to the looks of this phone.... & Asus' software goes straight up battling against oxygen OS & stock android!! I'm really happy that one of my most favourite companies has made an almost completely well-rounded, performance-oriented, qualitative & sensible, stable & reliable, compact phone!!!! All of which I have been looking for coming together so profoundly in one android phone since the last 8 years!!!! This is a VERY true Iphone-battle capable android!! Thank you for making this ASUS!!!! :) Could have been a tad better... But the reliability from Asus products makes this a wonderful power android!
Great presentation of a review! 👍😃 Looking forward to the review of the Zenfone 8 Flip, if it's worth more than a discounted Zenfone 7 Pro. And I hope this time, it'll be available in more countries like the SEA.
way better quick review than android authorities' kinda rushed take especially on the camera department. thanks for providing side by side sample photos vs the iPhone josh 😍💯
If the phone is locked, and somebody calls. Is there an option to press the home button so you could just ignore the call and do something or open an app?
if only the sd slot is on the Z8 not the flip. i would really consider to buy the phone since Z7 is one of the choices im considering to buy but since its not available in Lazada. i guess i need to wait more.
It always seems like there is a big bias towards apple...iPhone with small phone and very small battery, reviewers go for: "I am so surprised how week optimized is the device, I can squeeze a day with moderate use blah blah blah"....any other brand doing it better and with a far more capable battery size...and YT reviewers go for: "I am not sure about the battery uhh...uhh I think is a bit of compromise here but if you are willing to do some sacrifices because of the small battery then uhh at your own risk" (note, 4000 mha is not small by any means).
I personally don't use the cameras that much so I'm Okay with it. Plus it has a really good UI and performance is great . Plus it has the headphone Jack !! I listen to a lot of music so that is great for me . I am looking to buy this one once it's launched in India .
Well, at least you mentioned the far superior iPhone Mini, it's easily a much better phone, especially the cameras. I do like the headphone jack (RIP LG) and the decent battery, but that's about it. Great review as always Michael!
@@RumiTheSeer I'll effortlessly counter with VASTLY better support (this phone wont even be a memory a year from now, that goes for everything from OS updates to security updates...) and quality, I'm sure many corners were cut to get that price point where only a smaller battery was installed to get the Mini's design done, it's the same as it's bigger and more expensive brethren otherwise. There's really no comparison here, just give up 😂
The only weakness might be the camera system. This level of image quality is hard to compete with other 2021 flagship phones. But, the trade off is the price.
Compact phones should not go for taller screen ratios. phone becomes narrower and therefore keyboard will be narrower and typing will not be the best experience. 19:9 or 18.5:9 will be good ratio. Just like pixel 4a
Would you rather have a compact Zenfone or a Zenfone with a flippy camera?
Since I have small hands, I'd prefer a compact Zenfone really.
compact phone.
Puppy zenfone I mean compact one
Compact
Everyone else said battery is amazing???
This is for sure going to be my next phone.

Bro how much storage and ram
@@aylanurreezman1983 ram upto 16gb and storage upto 256gb
Base model 6/128 gb
@@neelkadam9435 Oh so what games are u gonna play on it
I owe a Oneplus 9 pro with 256gb+12gb
This zenfone 8 looks, like a phone for a nice hiking trip
@@aylanurreezman1983 Sorry i didn't understand, what are you trying say?
Call me crazy, but I actually find this kind of simple design very appealing. I don't want shiny glassy phone.
SAME.
Mee too
same.. a simple design gets along well with phone trying to be more practical with one hand use.
The photos on Zenfone 8 look great, better than I expected. Their software has come a long way !
yup
@@anshtiwari2758 dude😂 we don't need another English class...

Now u know why u dont see comments like that...
Watching this on my Zenfone 7.😁 Great video, MJ! 👍
Darn, hopefully this booms rather than busts, as this should be the next standard! Don't like having big chunky phones being the norm.
I luv your presentations, thumbs up.

Great review, great phone. I'm buying it today.
Love your insights before the end of the video!
Love the amount of coverage this phone is getting. Android really needs a compact flagship. Pixel 5 don't count cuz it's just an overpriced midrange.
Even by mid range specs it's lacking. Tho their software is unbeatable.
The black one looks really beautiful, elegant even.
Such a humble / simple phone. I love it.

Great reviewer!
The most unbiased channel, #1 on UA-cam
How many years of Android OS upgrades?
What u will pick for camera quality? Xperia 1 II, Zenfone 8, Mi 11, S21, iPhone 12 Oneplus 9 or maybe u can recommend something else?
3,5 hour screen life... 80 min full charging... compact phone with powerbank everywhere
actually, the zenfone 8 flip does not have OIS... unlike the predecessor... why not try night time photos to see the difference?
This ZenFone is my dream phone this year. Please give it to me. I'm tired of unnecessarily large phones
Love to watch this channel as always let work to 1million subs for them👌👏👍 Great review as always🙌🏻
Does the camera have OIS? Nice review, thanks!
Wondering what the price will be in the US.
Thank you for the video
Awaiting for flip model review
We don’t have a unit.
@@gadgetmatch you were the only one who actually reviewed the zen phone instead of just an unboxing video. Asus should provide you a review unit!
Love the way how you review sir 😊😊
U always ahead in gadgets review 👍
We try. :)
If the phone is locked, and somebody calls. Is there an option to press the home button so you could just ignore the call and do something or open an app?
Which one will you recommend between S20 FE 5G VS Asus zenfone 8?
Pls reply
Do you prefer rog 5 or zen 8 ? For all aspect
Zen 8 sleeper phone
I hope Asus can maintain their Android Phone, for long term use, especially software.
I love your zenfone 8 haircut as well
Does is easely get through the day if you just leave it at 60fps? i dont need more than 60fps anyway
How is the vibration motor/vibration feedback? I have zenfone 5z and it doesn't have strong motor.
Love this guy! ☺️
Thank you so much for nice sharing. Berkah dalem🙏🙏🙏
Always provide great information new device.... I am really impressed
if only the sd slot is on the Z8 not the flip. i would really consider to buy the phone since Z7 is one of the choices im considering to buy but since its not available in Lazada. i guess i need to wait more.
Please review the Zenfone 8 flip please. Love your videos. ❤❤
Always my most adored tech reviewer in this industry. Kudos to Michael and GadgetMatch!

Simple yet beautiful!
how many years of updates?
Does it supports parallel apps feature?
I have been worried there would be nothing to buy on the android market. Thank you Asus. Next phone will be an easy choice.
No microSD card Slot :(
here in the philippines they discontinued selling zenfone mobilephone i dont why? i have 5 zenfone phone.
Where can you get the Zenfone?
i honestly like its not being overly flashy or gimmicky like you see with "gamer" stuff.
Is zenfone 8 available in India??
Where can we fins find them??
Official name for India: Asus 8z will be launching in India
will it be available in the philippines?
OYEAH! GADGETMATCH 🔥

the livestream literally just ended yall fast hahaha
This price range zenfone 8 is awesome ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥
finaly more phones that bring the headphjone jack back. amazing! (L)
Can i use 2x in portrait mode?
This is a phone I would expect from OnePlus if they still catered to enthusiasts.
Definitely my next phone.
Hi happy new year bro I find leak on a website show a zenfone 9 and rog phone 6
is it sleek phone?
How much when release in ph???
The volume button broke after just 4 months. Pretty poor quality given that the included cover does not protect the buttons.
I'm sold on the zenfone 8 !
Are your Channel from HK?...
Doesn't feel cheap like the Pixel 5?
For how many Android versions is it supported?
2, zenfone 8 2 OS, ROG 5 1 OS. Kind of silly
Will there be an 8 Pro ??
From Where can buy zenfone 8 I'm from middle east
Is the dac a quad dac like the rog phone?
Nope. It’s Qualcomm Astiq.
@@gadgetmatchSad 😔
Dual sim po ba?
Handphone so CUTE !
I hope I can order it to the US
Did you miss out the video capabilities or is that an entirely different review by itself.
Can you review Sony Xperia 1 iii?
It may be look dull but for people with small hands its great. Design don't matter coz it will be covered by case. 😅
Philippine price?
I personally don't use the cameras that much so I'm Okay with it. Plus it has a really good UI and performance is great . Plus it has the headphone Jack !! I listen to a lot of music so that is great for me . I am looking to buy this one once it's launched in India .
do you planning to buy the mobile? now!!?
Mobile manufacturers please listen. Compact phone with top of the line specs.. there are buyers.. .
Google pixel 5 vs asus zenfone 8 comparison plz
Their is a chance that this Zenfone might end up the same fait as the iPhone 12 mini &
It ends up not the meeting the sails expectations
How much in Indian currency
Well, at least you mentioned the far superior iPhone Mini, it's easily a much better phone, especially the cameras. I do like the headphone jack (RIP LG) and the decent battery, but that's about it. Great review as always Michael!
You forget better screen and top notch speaker that way better than the mini
@@RumiTheSeer I'll effortlessly counter with VASTLY better support (this phone wont even be a memory a year from now, that goes for everything from OS updates to security updates...) and quality, I'm sure many corners were cut to get that price point where only a smaller battery was installed to get the Mini's design done, it's the same as it's bigger and more expensive brethren otherwise. There's really no comparison here, just give up 😂
please compare it with12mini
I think it's a revolutionary product
Simplicity 🤗
Cant wait. Zenfone brand
design wise i love this phone
I think the design is pretty, elegant, simple, not shiny, elegant, also it will end up covered with a case
would have been perfect for me if it has the SD card slot, it checks all the other boxes
Same, still considering the 256gb version for when it launches in my region
The only weakness might be the camera system. This level of image quality is hard to compete with other 2021 flagship phones. But, the trade off is the price.
Install Gcam, then problem solved 😂
Simple design as just people needs to but incredible phone 😊
Compact phones should not go for taller screen ratios. phone becomes narrower and therefore keyboard will be narrower and typing will not be the best experience. 19:9 or 18.5:9 will be good ratio. Just like pixel 4a
3.5 mm jack with high res would the best feature for me.
good fingerprint scanner placement not very low.👌
