First time buyer for Asus, well in mobile market any way. I feel like crying because why Asus would you make possibly what could of been the best phone in the market and just throw it away. Was anticipating release of this handset and my gosh how disappointed I am. Phone becomes abnormally hot from normal use and my word, when charging don't even ask. Put it this way, I can't hold the top half of phone for more than few mins before feeling like I will have burn marks on my fingers. With big regret will be sending this phone back tomorrow, such a wasted opportunity. First impressions not great

My zenfone8 is heating up also by just using it for few minutes...
When will it be fixed?
I bought this phone last week for 700 €

I just bought my Zenfone 8 flip yesterday and I'm also having an overheating issue. 😞 this is disappointing. Any help?

I think biggest mistake was to implement 888 - 870 would more than enough considering size and other features.

I don't think this issue will disappears with future updates.

For those who are rooted can maybe give https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-module-01-09-21-pnp-tuner-for-zenfone-8.4327631/ and https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-04-09-2021-android-11-kirisakura-1-4-7-for-asus-zenfone-8-... a try.
I guess adjusting power settings should also affect the heating of the device.
