Asus Zenfone 8 Overview
Display and Design
Zenfone 8 comes with a 5.9inches Super AMOLED panel that has a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The refresh rate of 120 Hz is also higher with an imposing aspect ratio of 20:9. It provides stunning visuals with world-beating color accuracy. The screen also comes with an HDR10+ certification- enjoy every little detail even in the dark night. Also, it is protected by the toughest ever Corning Gorilla Victus glass. The Eye Care Display will cut out the harmful blue light to avoid your eyes from straining even on heavy gaming for hours.
The phone has gone through slight upgrades in terms of design. It features a portable design that is easy to use and carried everywhere. The device has a sleek body with an 8.9mm thickness and weighs about 169 grams. The dual camera stands out in a rectangular camera module. It has got an appealing design that looks equally powerful and premium with the ‘ASUS Zenfone’ labeling perfectly smashed at the back. The LED flash is placed just next to the camera module. There is a tiny circular notch left-aligned at the top where it accommodates its selfie shooter. The device features the under-display and the optical fingerprint scanner and is available in two colors-Obsidian Black and Horizon Silver.
Performance and Memory
Moving on to the processor, the device ships with the latest Snapdragon 888 5G from Qualcomm. The graphics in this device is handled by the Adreno 660 GPU.
