The ASUS Zenfone 8 is just barely the only sub-six-inch phone on this list. The Zenfone 8 packs a 5.9-inch, 120 Hz, 1100 nits, Super AMOLED display, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G SoC, making it a truly compact flagship experience. At 68.5 mm (2.7 in) wide, the Zenfone 8 is only 4.1 mm (0.16 in) wider than the iPhone 13 mini, meaning that while it is certainly small, there are other phones out there that are even more graspable. The small display and rounded back should make reachability and one-handed use fairly easy.
Another standout feature is the excellent dual camera system – a 64 MP, optically-stabilised main camera and a 12 MP wide angle lens with dual-pixel phase-detection autofocus. The choice to opt for just two well-optimised rear cameras – and forego the offensive 2 MP macro and depth sensors – shows that ASUS is serious about the Zenfone 8 and its consumers.
