Hi all,
I’m thinking about getting a Zenfone (Zenphone?) 8. Does anyone have good or bad experiences with this phone? Getting it bc it appears to be the smallest phone with good specs these days.

Zenfone 9 is even a tiny bit smaller although it is not yet supported. Looking forward to read some feedbacks on the Zenfone 8. If my battery replacement for the xz2c doesnt end well it will be an option
Just letting interested people know I just bought a Zenfone 8!! Will replace my old Fairphone 3. Excited: 16gb memory and 256gb storage for 400eu incl tax!!
Will let know about experiences here after I have started using it
Zenfone 8 itself is perfect in size as for these days (I would prefer smaller one as well ), but unfortunately it has unavailable unlocking bootloader option. I bought it for reinstallation, but as it was my first that expensive phone in life I was collecting courage for taking risk of breaking the device. Unfortunately now unblocking the device is not working. On Asus forum and XDA forum is information that some people have contacted Asus on this matter and unlocking bootloader option should be back in Q3, like September or October. I do know how come October is in Q3 but still, I am afraid that unlocking bootloader for Zenfone may not come back in practice, but it is unsure now …
well I am trying now the Moto G5, which is actually quite good, I love the fingerprint reader on the front, but it is quite slow
So now I ordered another oldy, a Xiaomi Mi6, same size but a bit faster + as a bonus the fingerprint reader is also a home button
I’ll report back here what it is like!
I just prefer phones with like 5 - 5,5 inch screen. Asus Zenfone was 5,9, the smallest available with quite up to date hardware. Smaller are only iPhones but they cannot be flashed with a reasonable system. They were like iPhoned mini with screen 5,4 inched, great with size …
