== History == On 12 May 2021, Asus announced ZenFone 8 and ZenFone 8 Flip under the slogan ''"Big on Performance. Compact in Size."'' They were released later on 13 May 2021, featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G chipset, with Corning Gorilla Glass 6 (Victus in ''Compact ver.'') protection and they support 5G. Their display design is Samsung Super AMOLED screen with 120 Hz (90 Hz in Flip ver.) of refresh rate.
