Asus has finally unveiled its flagship duo for the year the Zenfone 8 and Zenfone 8 Flip. The two phones share the Snapdragon 888 chip, qualifying them for the premium league. But besides the speedy processor, the siblings are quite different in terms of the specs and features they offer.
For instance, the standard Zenfone 8 targets buyers who want to keep things pocket-friendly, both in terms of size and cost.
