Asus Zenfone 8 Flip

Asus Zenfone 8 Flip product description

The Asus Zenfone 8 Flip is one of those phones that makes you look twice. Am I seeing this correctly? And in doing so, Asus has already achieved its goal; to deliver a striking phone that turns heads. Or in his case, cameras. Because with an innovative camera system, you can take the very best selfies. How exactly we'll explain here.

Uninterrupted display

The front of the Zenfone 8 Flip consists of a 6.67-inch screen with a Samsung AMOLED panel. That's extra colourful, so much so that it has HDR10+ colour support. The screen is also fluid because thanks to the 90 Hz refresh rate, animations look extra smooth. The screen also features a fingerprint scanner. What is not included is a selfie camera. In previous years, these were still hidden in an ugly notch or later in a punch-hole. None of that is to be found on the Zenfone 8 Flip, and that makes for an unflinching experience.

Flip Camera

To take selfies anyway, the main camera flips over. The advantage of taking selfies with the main camera is that your selfies come out much better. You have the best camera on your phone at your disposal, and that is usually on the back. This creates a unique situation; you can take the best selfies with a phone that has no selfie camera at all. A disadvantage of all this is that it weighs a bit. With 230 grammes, the Zenfone 8 Flip feels a bit heavy. It is also not waterproof which is a shame.

Not shy for a good selfies

On the Flip there are 3 cameras; a 64 main, 12MP ultra wide-angle and an 8MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom. The ultra wide angle can be used as a macro camera to take sharp close-ups from 4cm away. Asus also applies cool camera features. One is Auto Panorama. Instead of moving yourself, you let the Flip Camera create your panorama. By moving in steps. The photos you shoot will fit together better and be sharper. There are also extra video functions. There is Object Focus, for instance. With this, the autofocus of the Zenfone 8 Flip automatically switches from back to front. This makes a video of a car approaching stand out. Furthermore, there is HyperSteady for stable videos, Free Zoom to zoom smoothly to what you click, Wind Filter to filter out background noise and Mic Focus to play back the sound of what you are aiming at.

Powerful performance

The Zenfone 8 Flip comes with a generous 5000mAh battery, big enough to last you more than a day. And maybe even longer. There is support for fast charging but no wireless charging. Asus further uses the Snapdragon 888 processor with built-in 5G modem. This is a high-end chipset for the most powerful performance. There is a whopping 8GB of RAM memory and the storage comes in two flavours; 128 or 256GB. This is even expandable with a microSD card up to 2TB. It is also nice that the memory card does not take up a SIM card slot. You can also place two of them. There are also two speakers for stereo sound with Dirac HD support for extra spatial sound.
