My Zenfone 8 has just 2 hours ago joined the ever growing team of bricked Zenfones. I have, just like most with this issue used it for only about 2 years.
It does not start or charge anymore. I tried all the common key combinations to restart it but nothing happens. The only life sight it gives is that it is turning warm.
Before that I been having issues with the rear camera for the last week. It was only working in WhatsApp but no other app.
I am quite angry as I've read here, in reddit and Facebook that thousands of others have the same issue at around the 2 years mark. I have my banking apps linked to that phone which have my banking authenticatos so I can't even transfer money anymore or access banking , my two factor authenticator and my Password Manager are also in there which I can now not access. so basically my whole digital life is in there. Besides that I can't access my WhatsApp and can't get in touch with my business contacts.
This seems to be a design error or just simply planned obsolescence and Asus should repair all our phones free of charge.
