As promised last week, Asus finally launched last year’s flagship smartphone, the Asus 8z, in India today. It is a rebranded version of the ZenFone 8 that was launched in the global market almost a year ago. The company has only launched the compact Asus 8z in India, not the clamshell version. So let’s take a look at the key specs, price and availability.
ASUS 8z price and release date
The Asus 8z comes in a single 8GB RAM + 128GB storage configuration and is priced at Rs 42,999 in India. The smartphone will be available in two colour options namely Obsidian Black and Horizon Silver. You can buy the Asus 8z exclusively on Flipkart starting March 7.
key specs
Since the Asus 8z is a rebranded version of the ZenFone 8 for the Indian market, we already know the full spec sheet. It gives you all the advanced features you need in a flagship phone. Also, the device is compact, making it the perfect iPhone 13 mini alternative for Android users.
The Asus 8z features a 5.9-inch Full HD+ E4 AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate. The display also supports 2400 x 1080p resolution, up to 1100 nits of peak brightness, Gorilla Glass Victus protection on top and 112% DCI-P3 color gamut. You’ll also find a 12 MP pinhole selfie camera on the top left of the front.
On the back, you’ll see a small rectangular module with two cameras, including a 64MP Sony IMX686 primary sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens with a 112-degree field of view and 4cm macro support. The main camera also supports OIS and PDAF to enhance the photo and video capture experience.
Under the hood, the Asus 8z is powered by Qualcomm’s flagship chipset from last year, the Snapdragon 888 5G. You also get up to 16GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. Finally, there’s a 4,000mAh battery onboard that supports 30W fast charging. Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, USB Type-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack (a first for today’s flagships), and 5G support (11 bands) round out the many connectivity options. The smartphone is also water and dust resistant according to IP68.
The big question now is, will you buy the Asus 8z over the OnePlus 9RT or the iQOO 9 series recently launched in India? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
