If regular smartphones no longer draw your interest, you would be glad that ASUS intends to continue releasing phones with flip cameras. Earlier this month, the company had unveiled its ZenFone 8 series that comes with a new Flip model. Now, both new phones are officially available in Malaysia.
First up is the ASUS ZenFone 8, a flagship device that features the Snapdragon 888 chipset. It has a total of two variants - one with 8GB RAM + 128GB ROM, and another with 16GB RAM + 256GB ROM. The battery keeping this powerful smartphone juiced up isn't that large at 4000mAh. But ASUS went ahead and included a 30W fast-charger, so you can recharge it quickly when you have.
Besides that, the ZenFone 8 comes with a relatively smaller 5.9-inch screen. This is an AMOLED display that has a refresh rate of 120Hz, covers 112% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, and supports HDR10+. The cameras are more modest though, compared to most flagships. Specifically, the ZenFone 8 has a 64MP+12MP setup at the back and a 12MP camera on the front.
Next, we have the ASUS ZenFone 8 Flip, which comes with the Snapdragon 888 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage. This model also comes with a 30W fast-charger but has a noticeably larger 5000mAh battery to help it last longer. On top of that, it supports microSD cards of up to 2TB, something the standard ZenFone 8 doesn't.
But that's not all when it comes to the ZenFone 8 Flip. As the name suggests, this is a phone that will turn heads, thanks to its triple-camera setup (64MP+12MP+8MP) that can flip from back to front. It removes the need for a front camera, allowing the 6.67-inch AMOLED display to have full coverage of the front. In exchange, the display has a lower max refresh rate of 90Hz.
