CH_ASUSThank you for the feedback - we're passing all the feedback to our developers.
Fingerprint reader will likely see some improvements on the next update.
Selfie camera we will also continue to work on and improve.
Thank you!

TobWhat you may be observing is noise reduction being too aggressive to prevent noise. The countereffect of noise-reduction can be a lack of sharpness. Not a deliberate 'skin smoothing' even with beautification off. (That would imply intention, or preference,in a way)https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/167539#Comment_167539
The bridge between asian-centric and western-centric opinions about skin-smoothing/skin-tone is really difficult. Would be awesome to have a different setting/firmware for depending if you prefer western or asian "look" on your selfies.
As a westerner I wastly prefer how Apple/Google are handling the skin smoothing/tone, I'm guessing people in the asian markets prefers how alla the asian OEM's are handling the selfie- situation.

CH_ASUSHmm I see, I'm not that into camera tech so i'm not sure how to describe it in technical terms, I just wastly prefer how the result of the pixel software, even when the actual hardware is extremely dated like on the Pixel 4a.https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/167543#Comment_167543

For example in the Zenfone 7 , we instead run into comments from "west and east" on photos coming in "too sharp" instead. That being said, we're working in improving selfie quality on the Zenfone 8!
For the fingerprint reader; are you using any protective glass or film on the display, or is it just the screen glass itself?
