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!

Thank you for acknowledging this issue, I hope there will be an update as I am concerned of this happening to me and other people as I am in Canada without really any Asus service center

i am experiencing exactly the same issue...this is very disappointing for a one month old phone...i am having buyers remorse. i knew jumping from oneplus to asus is a mistake

UPDATE:

I contacted ASUS Customer Support in India and they told me they are unable to help me as the phone is not yet launched in India.

I have no idea what to do now.

Does your smartphone has any universal warranty.
because I am aware of this that Asus India service centre won't support mostly if you don't have a universal warranty in your device, if you had bought it from some different country online shop or got it via some person
