Zenfone 8 series launch event in 5 minutes By Waqar Khan

Here, it is the before 8 in all its ergonomic glory. What probably surprises you is that we managed to fit a 5.9 inch display into this super compact chassis. Besides the height and width of the phone, the shape of its edges and corners is crucial for ergonomics as well, and we have two color options. Now: a classy obsidian black and a horizon silver performance and battery life are the two most important valued features: customers desire in a compact phone. First, we naturally chose the 5 nanometer Qualcomm snapdragon 888, to sit at the heart of the before 8. So we split the motherboard into two pieces which allowed us to pack in a generous 4 000 William hour battery.

You can clearly see that the before 8 delivers higher scores than other phones based on the same platform. The before 8 is equipped with up to 16 GB of 6400 megabits per second lpddr5, while most other phones use only 5500 megabits per second memory. It also comes with 30 watt hypercharge adapter, which lets you top up this battery right here from zero to 50 in a very short period of time. The Samsung diamond pixel OLED display is another highlight of the before 8 and couldn't be more of a flagship panel with a high speed, 120hz refresh rate everything looks and feels really smooth. All of this comes wrapped in and protected by the latest corning gorilla glass Vitus.

It covers an impressive 112 of the DC ip3 color gamut and produces super vibrant colors. Thanks to the large sensor dimensions and pixel binning, quad Bayer technology in the Sony imx686. So you can take great shots. Even in dark environments, 12 megapixels, ultra-wide camera, you can focus quickly and have a large focus range, so you can make sure nobody looks blurry in a group picture, and it also enables you to do close-up macro shots too. The selfie camera in the before 8 uses the latest and greatest Sony imx663, and it too supports dual pixel autofocus for sharp and crisp images.

In case you get caught in the rain or accidentally splash, some water on your before 8. Don't worry thanks to an ip68 rating you're good, and you can have your peace of mind. Yes, as you can see, we didn't have space for a 3.5, millimeter audio jack. I wish I could just magically add one. Oh, that was easy.

Sound quality and volume in a smartphone is something else that ASUS is well known for as well, and thanks to two large speakers, a service logic, smart amp and direct audio tuning, we make it happen. This brand-new amplifier allows us to achieve a higher dynamic range and notably improved base, precision and volume. Both the before, 6 and 7 were very well-received, especially by photographers and creatives. So why don't we refresh this phone series? Well, we do meet the before 8 flip, and we tweaked and refined our flip camera gear and motor system further for an even longer lifetime. The before 8 flip comes in two colors that match the overall look of the before 8 galactic black and glacier silver.

Naturally, the before 8 flip bumps up the soc to the latest and greatest snapdragon 888. Like I mentioned, thanks to the camera system, you get an uninterrupted NATO edge, 6.67-inch, Samsung AMOLED display with vivid colors silky, smooth responsiveness, no notch no selfie cam hole. The 8 flip now has the same in display fingerprint sensor as on the before 8 and the same 5 000 William hour battery is back in the 8 flip enough to get you even through the most active days and possibly even two days with two sim slots and a micros slot. So three in total. Instead of carrying a work and personal phone, you can slot in your work and personal sim cards into the same phone.

We got a 64 megapixel, mix, 686, wide camera, a 12 megapixel ultra-wide mix 363 and a telephoto with three times optical zoom there's also an auto panorama mode in which the camera rotates through several angles automatically and stitches the pictures together by itself in free angle, shooting mode you can adjust the orientation of the camera freely. To find your perfect angle, another benefit of the flip system is that front and rear camera shots look identical since it's the same camera system, now an ultra-wide isn't new, but on the before 8 flip you have an ultra white camera on the front, so you can take ultra white selfies with everyone in the shot. Now here is the moment everyone has been waiting for before an in a compact 5.9 inch size with flagship snapdragon 88 performance will be available, starting from 599 and the before 8 flip will be available for 799 before 8 series will soon be available in numerous places around the world. I hope you are as excited as I am to start using before 8. Thank you.

Everyone for joining me today stay tuned for more innovations from us. Let's define ordinary.
