History

On 12 May 2021, Asus announced ZenFone 8 and ZenFone 8 Flip under the slogan "Big on Performance. Compact in Size." They were released later on 13 May 2021, featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G chipset, with Corning Gorilla Glass 6 (Victus in Compact ver.) protection and they support 5G. Their display design is Samsung Super AMOLED screen with 120 Hz (90 Hz in Flip ver.) of refresh rate. ZenFone 8 Flip retains the current previous generation's camera but with improved performance, similar to ZenFone 8. ZenFone 8 returns the cameras back to the same as ZenFone 5 (2018), but has Infinity-O display with 64 MP + 12 MP rear cameras similar to ZenFone 5. It has a 4000 mAh battery and includes IP68 water resistance and a fingerprint sensor on display.

On 13 May Asus announced the ZenFone 8 and ZenFone 8 Pro, which were announced and sold in Hong Kong on the same day. The devices were launched on 28 May in Malaysia. [7]
