35 nah that's too low for the specs

OnePlus 9r with 870 costs 40k,even Xiaomi's 888 phones cost 40k, Zenfone is a much more premium offering comparatively

My estimate is around 40-42k for 6/128

42-45k for 8/128

And this figure is keeping Rog 5 50k (8/128) pricing as an benchmark

Forget about one plus that brand has a seperate value.
Asus knows he can't compete if it comes at that value.
Rog 5 itself is 49k.
And in case of they do launch above 40k they wouldn't get the big figure sales
Asus still haven't been able to achieve the brand value yet.
Let's be reastic
What premium are they offering without being unbiased(I like Asus)
SD888
120hz amoled display
Ip rating
That's all
Whatever leaks I have seen suggest that Asus will price it aggressively to gain momentum.
But lets wait and see.
Also remember as per news, the price of SD888 chip is falling because of the heating issue discovered and new next generation chipset to be unveiled shortly within July-August.

Um let's compare OnePlus 9 and Zenfone 8 then
Zf8 pros over OP9:
IP68
Headphone jack
OIS
Speakers with Cirrus Logic amplifiers (quality is on par with Rog levels which is like the best among phones right now)
E4 panel on Zenfone 8 vs E3 panel on OnePlus 9
FM radio chip (this is very niche tho)
Notification led (another small thing)
Compact design and better ergonomics is another plus for zf
In software segment Zenfone does much better with many features and no bloat/asus services
Game genie, audiowizard, various performance profiles to use 888 properly and high performance mode,90hz option which OnePlus lacks etc
For example oxygen os has some OnePlus crap pinned in settings (it's essentially their store which they promote)
I'll even say Zenfone 8 has better cameras with better algorithm OnePlus even with Hasselblad partnership is meh and no ois on top of that Plus gcam development on asus is better (they're gcam friendly), OnePlus comparatively has locked much support in OOS 11
One more thing is that OnePlus 9 just has 1 5g band at 50k(Rog 5 has 11-12 bands zf will probably have more too)
All these things make Zenfone 8 much more vfm and a better phone over-all and the fact that it's European pricing is good a pricing around 45k for zf8 would be great

Everyone has there own perspective
I never compared the device.
You started putting up OP devices.
I can't understand your obsession with comparing One Plus with Asus.
We have and will have many other competitors having SD888 processors within price bracket of 35k to 40k.
Any ways time will tell everything.
It's nothing about who is guessing the price correct.
As per the Industry standards and in India Asus always put up their device at aggresive price always.
At last everything comes down to brand value, which Asus still haven't been able to achieve it.
I would rather buy Rog 5 by putting up few more bucks and rather won't buy zenfone 8 at 45k
For me camera even if it's okish is sufficient.
Having said that people who need compact device would prefer it.
Peace, take care
God Bless and give us the strength for fighting the pandemic.
No hard feelings bro.

Yeah Zenfone 5z/6 were priced well but 888 and ip68 will raise the pricing
I listed the comparison cos you mentioned what "Zf 8 does better than Op9"
I very much doubt that it'll be below 40k
Mi11x with 888 is 40k,iqoo is around 37-38k, OnePlus 9 at 888 at 50k
And yeah let's wait and see no point arguing
