[@brutlern]

I'm a member of the compact phone group too. Just ordered this one (arrives tomorrow). I always hated large phones, and unfortunately, most phones (flagship, midrange or budget) tend to go big instead of compact. There are very few compact options out there. I am not ever touching an Apple product, the new S22 is way to expensive, the Pixel 6a has not yet been announced (and it will still be too expensive) so this Asus is probably gonna be my savior.

[@Cypekeh]

same for me but i heard that Asus has some software issues with zenphones so I'm still deciding if I want to buy it and I'll read up on it more But other than that it sounds like a perfect phone for me, I just wish there where more options under 6 inch. I think that they're going to go compact in the future, but we need to wait a few years for that trend

2 months and this baby Asus ROCKS! Always have been a compact phone fan and this time around, Asus hits a homerun. I do hope in years to come and when it's time to change, there'll be another flagship baby Asus I can change to. Just 1 gripe, have more colour options. Black and silver, too safe.

[@JaredBusch]

haha love this comment, totally agree! and yeah, since ASUS isn't a "smartphone" company, they want to play it safe, like you mentioned. that being said, a nice olive, forest or sage green looks great and is still a safe colour. maybe a powder blue or something soft. still playing it safe but still offering options!

[@subwarpspeed]

I've been rocking my Motorola Moto X4 since early 2018 (released 2017). Third Motorola in a row. I haven't kept an eye on the market much since. Now with Black Friday I started to look for phones at similar sizes. Cell phone pockets in several of my cloths is on the limit so 5 mm extra height would be too much (148 for X4). Normal hands but I don't like giant phones (more pleased with Moto X4 than Moto G4, the one I had before). I was stunned that first I couldn't find any Motorola small enough, then not shocked not finding nearly anything else (Android 11+)! I've been eyeing the Pixel 4a the last days which is about 80% higher price more than what I've normally put on phones. But there are only a few left in some shops. And I'm now looking at a Zenfone 8. Wow would be a lot more money than usual (I'm just cheap, I have money). I'm now researching the Zenfone 8 and found this video (thanks!) - great with "I've used it a while" reviews. Edit: I ordered it. 8+256 variant 😀

[@user-jc8zm6ef8p]

Hows the software and updates? Any bugs?

[@aswinteabee]

I''ve also been using my x4 for the past 2.5 years and now thinking about an upgrade as its speaker is dead. In my opinion, zenfone 8 is the perfect successor to moto x4 (small size, waterproof, nice build quality, good cameras, and mod-ability). What I didn't like about zenfone 8 are lack of micro-sd and the high price tag. Btw what's your experience with zenfone 8 compared to moto x4?

[@francoisbooyse8331]

Most important feature for me is 3.5mm jack

[@garrettrinquest1605]

Thanks for the video! My S7 Exynos has been great, but its about ready to kick the bucket. I only had three qualifications, modern Android, headphone jack (I like analog sound), and screen size under 6 inches. I thought I would have some pretty decent options, but this is literally it. I usually go for a mid-range rather than a flagship phone, but I think this is what I'll get

[@MaxAbramson3]

I have the same requirements and have been stuck with the venerable S8. Do they not care about the consumer?

[@MantheshGouda]

Awesome content!! Best part, you are replying in the comments section, and not in just line or two.. but in proper.. funny and useful way ❤️

[@s0ulscrapp3r]

Don’t get the deal with wireless charging to be honest. It’s slower to charge, heats more (thus obliterates your battery health faster), and you can’t even use your phone for gaming for example while charging like you could with a wired charging. So can someone please enlighten me on this?

[@chefbigjay4154]

It's just a convenience thing really.

[@JaredBusch]

those are totally valid arguments. it's just one of those things man. people used to say they don't get phones with resolutions above 1080p on phones, but here we are, 4k displays with 1440 displays being fairly common on phones or how about in display fingerprint readers, or USB C ports? it's just the progression of tech really. and you can't stop progress, as they say, lol. personally, I don't rely on wireless charging, but would I say no to it if offered in a phone? probably not. good topic comment 😊

thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video. Locked at 90Hz I can confidently say it would probably see about what it got in auto mode. the vast majority of the time in auto it settles to 90Hz. so basically 6 hours give or take depending on what you're doing of course.

It is true when in outdoor mode, it does get louder but distorted. I previously owned a Zenfone 5 and it had that feature.

[@a.pigeon]

The thing that got my attention was the small size. I have pretty big hands but I still can't hold onto newer phones without feeling like it's going to fall out of my hand. The headphone jack was really the thing that sold me. I don't really like wireless headphones because it's hard to find any with good audio quality so being able to use headphones and earbuds is an amazing plus.

[@ruminatingenigma4649]

I've had the phone for 2 weeks. My cons are: battery life is short. I'd charge it using powerbank in the middle of the day and i wish it charges faster (my powerbank support more than 30w changing). The live view for the camera isn't so great unlike the iphone. The exposure level would deviate wildly quite fast. And the processing speed to take a pic is slow, it'll take 3 secs after taking the photo for the image to show up in gallery And in normal use the 888 chip gets slightly warm. I'd prefer prefer it to be cool like my previous phone with 732G. And sometimes, the refresh rate on Google Chrome isn't 120hz. More like 60hz. Do note my refresh rate is 120hz permanent, and i have a 16gb ram model and I don't have much apps on the background, so idk why chrome tends to appear laggy

[@KennyChong]

Awesome video. I'm still rocking the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact as no other Android phone even comes close in terms of size. Unfortunately, I'm getting the itch to upgrade my phone and I think this is the best option out there for now. Still waiting for Sony to officially release the Xperia Ace 3 before I make any decision.

[@sir_hammy]

I really hope the Ace 3 is usable in America. I've been loving the XZ2 compact, but it's so hard to know how long I'll be able make calls with it before 2G on t-mobile gets shut down. I bought a 5 III and while I appreciate the details it's just too big, I hate it.

[@username4699]

@@sir_hammy I'm attempting to transition from a 2014 Windows Phone that didn't survive AT&T's new VoLTE requirement and have been endlessly trying to decide between this device (Zenfone 8), the Xperia 5 II and the Pixel 4a. I would normally agree that the Xperia 5 is still too tall for my taste, but what makes me consider it over this is its much better battery life due to the lower performance chipset (which wouldn't be an issue for me). Do you have any thoughts?... (Also in the U.S.)

[@sir_hammy]

@@username4699 I have been using the Xperia 5 III (I have no experience with Mark 2) for a few months and honestly, I don't enjoy it. It's too tall. I have a feeling the zenfone will feel too tall as well, but I might give it a try later on. I love the detail in Sony's phones, headphone jack, SD card support, camera shutter button. Beyond that, it's not fun to use the phone. I also really dislike Android 12 it feels very heavy.

[@username4699]

@@sir_hammy Thank you for the response, I would say my thoughts sync up with yours pretty well so I will heed your warning and avoid it. I briefly had a Galaxy S10e, which fits in this size range of devices, and it did feel "ok", but I didn't really get to use it in a regular/real scenario and it was without a case (it got returned when I realized the bottom microphone didn't work...). Even though these phones are about almost as small as you can get, the screens taking up the entirety of the front introduce the same problem in a different way. I don't have much experience with Android as a whole, but I have heard various complaints about 12, so I would believe you.

How much in indian rupee

[@RealElevenTimes]

@@Christian_answer Don't know I'm not Indian lmao, but I bought for 569 Euros so you can maybe do an exchange rate to Indian currency and see how much it is.

[@tehnubrises5533]

Well the phone's amazing, minus the fact that it stutters sometimes on bluetooth when I play it in the car (until i restart the phone) and the fact that the latest android 13 update probably fried the wifi chip after a few months of using wifi6 on it (wifi and hotspot is no longer useable). The headphone jack is still pretty awesome with the qualcomm aqstic on it

Thanks for making this video that i need to watch now 2021 - compact phone - not ios - big win I must buy that one

[@leo19957]

Any ramdump issue ever occured ? I am considering this phone but read it suffers from some kind of ramdump issue that would require a board replacement.

[@MattH333]

between this and Z Flip 3, which would you recommend?

[@JaredBusch]

oh man, that's tough. gotta understand, I'm a sucker for the new stuff and folding phones is still new and the Flip 3 is the best yet. the Zenfone will cost less, that may be something to consider

[@davidletterboyz]

Why do you need to fold compact phone? I find no reason to. The same cannot be said to Galazy Z Fold series.

it's funny what we call chunky bezels nowadays we seem to forget what phones like iPhone and Sony looked like

[@JaredBusch]

oh man, trust me, the irony is not lost on me. I even have a hard time calling them "chunky" at all. like they're still about as thin as a toothpick, but that's "chunky" by todays standards, LOL! like some people think we should be holding a single pane of glass, but they don't realize that you'll hardly be able to operate the device 'cause there'd be nothing but false touches. you'd go to scroll in twitter and end up calling your mom!

[@1mezion]

@@JaredBusch I actually don't mind toothpick bezels, curved edges look awesome but it can be a pain in the ass, I don't mind having a thin bar on the top with all the sensors in it since I don't like punch holes and notches

[@JaredBusch]

@@1mezion I totally feel you with that! I've always thought curved edges look cool, but I've also always thought they're just not practical

[@a.i1801]

I wonder if you installed the Google Camera app on this phone, will it get the same result as Pixel 5? Or even better?

[@when_life_gives_you_limes]

Tbh the battery seems a bit small & I don't much care about wireless charging but I do need the headphone jack, cameras & waterproofing, the compactness is a plus. Does it also have microSD card slot for external storage expansion?

[@amitsinghbaghel604]

Can u please make a video on what's on my phone video on zenfone 8

[@HarisGuso.]

Hi beetwin Xiaomi 12X ?

[@stabil1978]

What about audio quality? I use my phone to listen to music more than anything else and sonen browsing.

[@manmoderno5274]

was that 2nd led notification led by the selfie cam? I thought the zenfone 8 have optical image stabilization on all sensors? For me the only feature missing is an ir blaster and a cpu that you can't fry an egg off

[@brutlern]

I think that's just the new Android way of showing you that the front facing camera is currently "spying" on you. My S10e has it also. It's annoying. Like I don't know that the camera is always watching. I think it's some legal crap that they have to officially tell you that the camera is "watching".

[@manmoderno5274]

@@brutlern that's not good, I guess we will have to covering the camera with some sticker when not in use or just get the flip version

[@brutlern]

@@manmoderno5274 The thing is it was always doing that, it's just that now you "know" when it's doing that.

[@chandlercruttenden6775]

Will you review the Pixel 6 or 5a?

[@JaredBusch]

probably not the 5a but I will the 6 for sure!
