Asus 8Z: What we know so far
In the global market, where the Z-series is actually the Zenfone series, the Asus Zenfone 8 was announced back in May 2021. The device is now coming to India almost a year later.
The Asus 8Z could be a rebranded Zenfone 8 and hence, carry the same specifications. This includes a 5.92-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with 20:9 aspect ratio, along with support for Corning Gorilla Glass Victus and 120Hz refresh rate. The compact HDR10+ certified display also gets a peak brightness of 1100 nits and 240Hz touch sampling.
The phone is powered the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and comes with up to 16GB rAM and 256GB storage, although we may see different storage variants with the 8Z in India.
There is also a dual-camera on the back with a 64MP Sony IMX686 primary sensor with OIS and a 12MP ultrawide sensor which also takes macro shots. There is a punch-hole cutout on the front of the phone housing a 12MP camera for selfies and video calls.
Other features include a 4000mAh battery with 30W fast charging, IP68 water and dust resance, support for WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and a 3.5mm headphone port. The Zenfone 8 was also launched in Obsidian Black and Horizon Silver colours, and we could see these two colours come to the 8Z as well.
