So this is it, the Asus Zenfone 8 Flip. We’ve seen several iterations of the flip over the years, and now it’s back with all its flippy glory.

Yo! Hit me up with any questions you have about the 8 Flip!
Also make sure to check out the more in-depth written impressions over on the site!
inaccurate camera first impression. https://youtu.be/piGEU4wgZPI gsmarena says otherwise 😅 look at sample photos at other reviews before listening to 1 bias review
I think it needs more cameras tbh….At least 10
But remember: This is NOT the follow up to 7 Pro… This lacks the "Pro" name so we'll see if that comes later.
You mean the glass has a "2,5D" curve at the edges and not the display itself…?
A little funny to think about ZenUI is kinda good now while it was a pile of crap awhile backðŸ˜ÂÂ
But it's not a negative thing that the display tops out at 90Hz.. Everything over 60Hz is useless on a phone unless you game. Yeah, It's smoother to scroll text etc but who reads while they scroll thru the text anyway?😅 I preffer battery life over more Hz. And if it has a hugher refresh rate then it MUST be adaptive (like on i.e Galaxy Note 20 etc) for me to even consider using a higher than 60Hz setting.
Finally one reviewer said it. There's absolutely no reason to pick this up over the zenfone 7/7pro. I had my hopes up when the ROG5 brought back the 3.5mm jack with a DAC. The zenfone 8 flip is a huge disappointment with no OIS and no 3.5mm jack and a higher price.
I really just wanna know one thing… When is the Flip going to be available in the states ðŸ˜ÂÂ
The problem with this phone is movable parts. That flip camera is probably what's going to break first. That's why Sonys way is better.
Really? You are bothered by a punch hole or a teardrop on a phone? Reviewers are not representative of real people and the way they see the tech. I do not even notice the teardrop in my phone even when I am watching a movie.
Hmm
Only 90 Hz. I guess IPhone screens are total trash.
Ehh bit of a pity. Asus almost gets it right. Love the flip camera it's a great idea paired with (finally!) super amoled is almost a must buy combo- but not that amazing, no image stabilization camera and high price (I got my awesome Oppo Reno 2 for about 300£..) makes it most likely a pass/ waiting for the next Flip thing.
This phone feels like a bit of an afterthought compared to last year…
If only they would've given it a headphone jack I would've bought it. Oh well, another year of holding onto my mate 20X.
Hey Android Authority can u tell why does battery drop in iphone after years and why would it charge to some thresold can u tell why and what were the reason behind this PLS
It looks like they had designed the zenfone 8, then suddenly realised "wait people liked the flip" and just re released the zenfone 7 with a new processor
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
nice hands on
The biggest change is the price.
is this still 256gb?
one of the biggest reasons why i didnt buy zenfone 7 pro, need at least 500gb for my needs 🙁
3 sim card slots and still 256gb only? come on
Best display
If it had a 120 hz panel would’ve bought it.
No notch, just go Sony, simple as that.
Your A rolls are surprisingly good… keep it up and also the editing is good….
The Flip Camera is so 2019.
Better soft like true photos looks than oversharpening in almost every other new phones even from 4 years back .
WTF with the title. Flip flop??? I just thinking something else. lol.
Wow you guys really unpredictable.
C U T E.
I have a 7 Pro and I think the image/video quality is absolutely amazing. My phone does have OIS.
Do all that work with a camera and not include OIS. The same way OnePlus hobbled its camera I guess.
I've my zenfone 6, Just Perfect. Even the price. 550 at launch ^^
I wish more phones would do a camera like this. I don't give a damn about a front facing camera. I'd rather not have a notch.
Both the phones are so disappointing. Was expecting something a lot better
Can you guess how many times he is saying "unfortunately" and "still"? lol
I'm still using asus 6z now the time is come to upgrade this BEAST ðŸâ€ÂÂ¥
just samsung and asus phone not good.
Time to unsubscribe. Wasting my time here and not even win any phone
review of gadgetmatch is more constructive and surprisingly their camera take wd d zenfone flip can do toe to toe wd d iPhone 12 (mini i think) 👠they showed side by side sample photos of both phones and that infinitely gives viewers a better perspective than this kinda rushed type take ðŸ¤â€Â
disappointing from Asus
No ois is very troublesome.
I own ZenFone 7 pro, first the os is very fluid just like google phones, the camera are very good let's not forget this phone won mb blind test. The icon you can change in ZenFone 7 pro . Cons the phone is big, heavy, and the buton on camera when you take picture and you have kids is slow ….
They basically swapped the cpu and released the same phone. So disappointing.
Only disappointment of ZenFone 8 Flip is 90Hz display. ☹ï¸ÂÂ
6:00 So they can fit triple SIM cards but no SD card??
Finally Android Authority is one of the first reviewers to review this phone!
The chin is still present in 2021…. Disappointing
