Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Asus ZenFone 8 Flip (8GB + 256GB)

  • Innovative motorized flip camera provides excellent, high-quality selfies and video calls using the main, ultrawide, and telephoto lenses.
  • True full-screen experience with no notch or punch-hole, thanks to the unique camera design.
  • Top-tier performance powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G Mobile Platform, suitable for gaming and demanding tasks.
  • Large 5,000mAh battery provides solid, all-day endurance for typical usage, and supports 30W fast charging (charger included in the box).
  • Great display quality: 6.67-inch Super AMOLED panel with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and vivid colors.
  • Clean, near-stock Android software (ZenUI) with useful extra customization options and minimal bloatware.
  • Dual-SIM support along with a dedicated microSD card slot for expandable storage (up to 2TB), a rare feature in flagships.
  • Solid and robust build quality with a metal frame and Gorilla Glass 6 (front) and 3 (back).
  • Good audio experience with loud stereo speakers and Hi-Res audio support.
  • Features like automatic panorama shots and motion tracking are made possible by the motorized camera system.

What we don't like about Asus ZenFone 8 Flip (8GB + 256GB)

  • Bulky and heavy design (230 grams) that can feel unwieldy or top-heavy in hand.
  • Lack of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) on any of the cameras, which can affect photo and video quality, especially in low light or with shaky hands.
  • No official IP rating for water or dust resistance, a significant omission compared to many competing flagships.
  • No wireless charging support, a feature often expected in this price range.
  • Display refresh rate is 90Hz, which is lower than the 120Hz offered by its smaller sibling, the ZenFone 8, or other similarly priced competitors.
  • Prone to overheating, especially during demanding tasks like prolonged gaming or video recording, which can cause the camera app to shut down temporarily.
  • In-display fingerprint sensor is often described as slow or inconsistent compared to physical or some other optical sensors.
  • Slower major Android OS updates and a shorter update support lifespan compared to other brands like Google or Samsung.
  • Some users reported potential motherboard or CPU defects (the "ramdump" error) that could brick the phone.
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack.

Verdict

The Asus Zenfone 8 Flip (8GB+256GB) is a flagship smartphone known for its unique motorized flip-up camera module, which allows its powerful 64MP main, 12MP ultrawide, and 8MP telephoto lenses to function as both rear and high-quality front-facing cameras. It features a vibrant 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate and is powered by the high-performance Snapdragon 888 processor. Main pros include its innovative camera system, true full-screen experience without a punch-hole, and robust performance. Potential cons involve its lack of official IP water resistance rating, the absence of wireless charging, and the phone's somewhat bulky size compared to other flagships.
