After a long wait, Asus is finally set to launch Zenfone 8 in India. As Asus no longer uses the word “Zenfone” in India, the phone will be known as Asus 8z but will share details with Zenfone 8. The Asus Zenfone 8 arrived in early May last year.
The company was planning to launch the flag in India a few days after it first appeared worldwide, but revealed covid-related problems after a delay in launch in India. After all, we will finally see the launch of the Asus 8z in India.
There are a few things that make the Asus 8z a fun phone. It has a very small display, which you would love if you are not a fan of big phones with big screens.
But do not go overboard with its appearance. The Asus 8z is a powerful phone, thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor which was a popular flagship processor on last year’s flagship phones.
Although we now have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 that will lead the way for the best Android phones this year, last year’s Snapdragon 888 is still very powerful.
I will talk more about the specification of the Asus 8z, but let’s get the details of its launch and the expected price on our way.
The Asus 8z was introduced in India
The launch of the Asus 8z in India will take place at 12pm. The company will disclose the phone details and price at the visual event scheduled for today.
If you want to get real-time updates, you can turn on live YouTube streaming just before the event.
Price of Asus 8z in India
Although we have a few hours left to get the official price information for the Asus 8z, we can only guess. The price of the Asus 8z in Europe is EUR 599.
This translates to Rs 53,200, but the phone is expected to cost much less considering it is very old. The Asus 8z may compete with the likes of the OnePlus 9 RT and iQOO 9 in India, both of which cost less than Rs 40,000.
Details of Asus 8z
The Asus 8z is a premium phone and its specification is good enough if you want flagship features for a small fee. The phone is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, which can easily handle high-quality gaming consoles.
There is a 5.92-inch AMOLED display with Full-HD + resolution, HDR10 +, and 120Hz refresh rate, which means everything on the display will look clean and smooth. Players will love it. The display uses Corning Gorilla Glass Victus for protection.
You get 16GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage on Asus 8z. There is a 4000mAh battery backed by 30W fast charging.
The phone has stereo speakers with Dirac HD Sound, IP68 certificate for dust and water resistance, and connecting features such as Wi-Fi 6E and NFC.
The Asus 8z cameras include a Sony IMX686 64-megapixel sensor and an ultra-wide-angle 12 rear camera and a 12-megapixel front camera for your photos.
The phone comes with Android 11 out of the box, but its Android 12 update is already available.
