Hello everyone
I have zenfone 5z but I am planning to buy new smartphone.
So would like to know and request reply from all people in this forum who have experienced or bought zenfone 8 or 8 flip
My expectation is:-
smooth performance and clean OS without any ads.
good Amoled display with good refresh rate
headphone jack most likely
good audio quality
Good camera with decent night photography capabilities.
a full day battery life
lastly, durable build
So, does it stand in all those departments or should I buy some other smartphone like Rog 5 or samsung, oneplus etc
Kindly reply and suggest

I guess the Zenfone 8 ticks your boxes, depending on how intensively use your phone. Battery life is not super yet (I am a fairly light user and can squeeze out about 6 hours of SOT), but I expect it may improve after a few updates. I think it is the best 'small' phone currently on sale, but if you are also in for larger phones there is more competition.

The headphone out of my z8 can drive a full size Denon d5000 headphone well. Better than my old phone. It has decent output up until 150 Ohm, I tried.

The others I won't comment as it depends on your previous experience in my opinion. I myself had a IPS panel phone before, and surprised how small the viewing angle on this OLED.
You move a bit and white appears slightly more yellow or pink. It turns out it is common, but for me it was strange first.

Would be honest.Zenfone series have never disappointed me.

Except for software hickups.all my Zenfone 2 and 5z has sustained and given me good service.

Your suggestion would help me.

Kindly let me know if the camera works and takes good shots or is there any disappointing things when it comes to Camera of Zenfone 8
