ZenFone 8 seems to be bricked. I have no idea what to do.

So, I was using the phone as usual and all of a sudden, the screen went black/blank as if the phone had been turned off.
The next thing I know, the phone boots up to this screen.


I searched online and found that my phone has possibly been bricked. This used to happen with ROG Phone 2. I found a few videos online showing how to fix this in ROG Phone 2 however, I couldn't find anything for the ZenFone 8.
I did find a Reddit post where another user had faced this exact same problem with their ZenFone 8 as well.

I have no idea what to do now. I bought this phone in July.
I would really appreciate some help.
Thank you!

Just an update: i have received my phone back after a week and few days. Its working well. But unfortunately, like i anticipated, you can see pry marks on some corners at the backside of the phone. Imagine buying a bnew phone just a month ago and now it looks so used and dented. What a mess. I am not happy with the product at all.

In my country you can demand new phone or cash, if anything seriously goes wrong in first 6 months. I think some other EU counties has same.
