Asus Zenfone 8 won’t have the cool Android-phone feature of the Zenfone 7 Asus Zenfone 7 Pro
While the Asus Zenfone line of smartphones aren’t exactly huge, the line of Android phones has one noteworthy feature that draws eyes. They don’t have front-facing cameras, and instead boast rear cameras that can flip up to face the front for selfies – you probably already know what this looks like, since you’ve scrolled past the header image that shows it.
The upcoming Asus Zenfone 8 seems to have ditched this novel feature, though, in favor of a more generic punch-hole cut-out in the screen for the selfie camera. We know this because, on Twitter, Asus posted a tease of the phone, which shows as much.
Is it just us or are there a lot of ‘o’s in ‘smooth’? How many, exactly? 😉 Know more:https://t.co/ig6Hay5mlo#Zenfone8 #BigonPerformanceCompactinSizeApril 27, 2021
In the video, we can see a cartoon version of the phone with a cut-out for the front camera in the top-left of the display – with that there, a flip-up camera would be redundant, so it seems almost certain the feature has been dropped.
The tease was actually meant to show off the 120Hz display of the phone – there are 120 ‘o’ letters in ‘smooth’ on the screen, again all-but-confirming the phone has a high-refresh-rate screen.
The new Asus Zenfone 8
The Asus Zenfone 8 has been confirmed to launch on May 12, so there’s a little while longer for Asus to tease more features of the upcoming phone – and inadvertently reveal more lost features.
We’ve heard rumors that there’s a Zenfone 8 Mini too, which will likely be a compact version of the ‘standard’ 8 model – perfect for people who like small phones. Previous generations of Zenfone have also had a ‘Pro’ model, so we could see one of them too.
The only confirmed phone, though, is the Zenfone 8 itself, as that’s the one Asus name-dropped. If there’s anything new shown off on the day, we’ll bring it to you.
