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.

I prefer the Zenfone camera over the Samsung S10e camera (photos look more natural), but I am not a very critical photographer. Most reviewers are quite favourable on the cam quality as well.

First Asus phone (i bought zenfone 8). I like the form factor a lot (i don't like big phones). Everything works good for me. But i am light user: some chatting, facebook and mostly browsing. So it is enough for full 2 days for me. Photo Camera is good.
smooth performance and clean OS without any ads. - Definitely yes. Almost stock android experience.
good Amoled display with good refresh rate. - It can go upto 120 refresh rate. Though it has lots of color deformity (just by tilting a phone a little bit the white color changes a lot). But i don't mind it much. Though i come from IPS, so it was surprise for me that it had almost no white color accuracy. Every other color of course is way better and crisp.
headphone jack most likely - Yes.
good audio quality - Perfect.
Good camera with decent night photography capabilities. - Yes. The camera is very capable.
a full day battery life - For me 2 full days.
lastly, durable build - I believe yes. But the back is glass and glass breaks 😁, though this phone comes with nice back case, so no worries. Also IP68 rating.

Should I buy Zenfone 8 series smartphone or not(Request reply from people who have bought Zenfone 😎
1. Asus' Android takes the first place in my book dethroning the previous king, OxygenOS. It's blazing fast, smooth, has fully stock appearance, and a bunch of additional settings, most of them actually highly useful.
2. The display isn't better or worse than that on a Galaxy A5 2017 and Pixel 3 that I owned previously, but it also gets really bright if you need it.
3. Headphone jack is there.
4. Nice audio quality out of the loudspeakers, and it's stereo thanks to the amplified earpiece, also extremely loud with maxed out volume, but unfortunately the headphone jack quality is noticeably inferior to my Hidizs AP80 hi-fi player when compared using KOSS KSC75 earphones and a mix of hi-fi and master quality tracks from Tidal.
5. The camera isn't worse than that on the Pixel 3 when it comes to still images, but the video mode absolutely blew my mind with its incredible quality.
6. I charge it every two days with a charge limit set to 90%, but I'm not a power user - I just use it for texting, emails, Twitter, occasional browsing and AI Dungeon.
7. The build rivals the best players in the market, it's a solid monolithic brick, the aluminium frame feels like it's made of 7000 series aluminium, side buttons are nice and have a distinct crisp click to them.
Bonus points for a notification LED and a programmable power button.
It's a solid device made to satisfy a picky enthusiast, and it's very easy to recommend in good conscience.

That's really good 2 days of battery life.
That's what I am looking for.

Any ideas if it has any Audio DAC?
