ASUS ZenFone 8 Flip Smartphone
Product Gallery
Product Overview
ASUS ZenFone 8 Flip is a flagship-level smartphone by ASUS in 2021. Unlike the ZenFone 8 unveiled at the same time, the Flip inherits the flip-up camera system of the ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro from last year.
As such, the ZenFone 8 Flip also retains the same 6.67-inch 90Hz OLED display from the 2020 model. It is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 6 rather than the Victus found on the smaller ZenFone 8.
Other features carried over include microSD card support and the presence of 3.5mm headphone jack.
As a flagship device, the ZenFone 8 Flip also enjoys a few upgrades, including new support for WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.

Reviewer score 73%The Zenfone 8 Flip has a flip-out camera system that lets you use the primary camera as a front-facing shooter. The main sensor seems to produce well-detailed and fairly color-accurate images. The camera is a little softer and noisier, and the telephoto lens isn't great either.

- Good camera system
Cons
- No wireless charging
- No IP68 water and dust resistance rating
