Zenfone 8 | Zenfone 8 Flip Camera Test | Camera Review By MOBILE PH

The frenetic place of working in the city makes me seek out the embrace of nature. Most of the time I like to drive to places where there are fewer people, I feel like I'm leaving behind all my worries, and then I feel free during this limited time I like to head out to the forests that are away from the city, I'm always full of anticipation for the surprises that mother nature will present to me. I like the size of the before 8, because I can easily take pictures with just one hand when I look up at the treetops to wearing above me in the forest, or look down at the babbling brook running over my feet, or even when I clamber up a rocket path, I can take pictures easily when the light becomes dim. I will turn on pro mode and continue taking beautiful photos. The before 8 now allows users to define their own settings in the cameras promote. This means.

I can quickly choose my preferred modes when I'm in a pitch black valley. I can rest assured that I will still be able to capture all the glittering stars in the sky. Sometimes when I'm taking photos I'll be interrupted by a sudden, rainstorm or splashes of water. I might even miss the chance to take some rare and beautiful pictures, but with the before 8 ip68 rating, it doesn't matter if it's sunny or rainy days, but whatever environment I'm in I can take as many pictures as I want and just focus on the scene in front of me. I hope you enjoyed them.

Thank you, kill those were some really impressive pictures. Thank you. Sasha. Next up, let's look at the sound system on the before 8. When making a phone this compact.

There obviously are some compromises we had to make. And 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, not having to resort to headphones to watch videos or listen to music in good quality is definitely a big plus 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. It also ensures a stable tonal balance at all volume levels without distortions at low or high volume settings direct has some really dark magic algorithms at play here which allow us to perform, especially well when it comes to lower frequencies, creating a richer, undistorted base experience. Everyone has a different preference for audio. Some of us are very sensitive to specific frequencies, for example. So naturally, our audio wizard app is still here in the before 8, with four quick profile settings and 10 EQ sliders for manual fine-tuning, but that's not all.

For today, you probably expected the before 8 to be more like the before 7, a large phone with innovative camera flip mechanism, a huge display, free of notches or holes, and a massive battery. 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 for anyone who uses their selfie camera a lot. There isn't anything on the market that gets close to the resolution and quality of our flip camera. It also enables several cool new ways of taking pictures and videos that are more immersive and captivating by tracking a face object or slowly, pan the camera.

It's almost like a basic built-in gimbals, and we tweaked and refined our flip camera gear and motor system further for an even longer lifetime under a typical scenario where you use it 100 times per day. Furthermore, it's now rated to last. Over 8 years, the before 8 flip comes in two colors that match the overall look of the before 8 galactic black and glacier silver, both use a dual layer, optical coating process. When you look at the galactic black under bright light, you'll notice that it's actually a very dark blue and while the galactic silver is just like the horizon silver on the before 8, with a yellow and blue hue with some angles, the main difference is that on the before 8 flip, these are both glossy making them look a bit futuristic. Naturally, the before 8 flip bumps up the soc to the latest and greatest snapdragon 888, and just like on the ROG phone 5 and before 8, the 8 flip uses the fastest supported LP ddr5 memory running at 6400 megabits per second, that's a nice bump over the 5500 megabytes per second in the before 7 and most other phones on the market.

Today, 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. What's new on the 8 flip is that we moved the fingerprint sensor from the power button on the side. The 8 flip now has the same in display fingerprint sensor as on the before 8, and the same 5 000 milliampere hour battery is back in the 8 flip enough to get you even through the most active days and possibly even two days. Battery anxiety is a term before 7 and now before 8 flip users are probably not going to be familiar with, and just like on our other models. We have a set of system modes that either give you a performance or battery life boost on both the before 8 and before 8 flip.

We have two sim slots, but the before 8 flip can do even more with two sim slots and a micro SD 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, and you can choose when to mute, calls on each of those two sims and thanks to a micro, SD card slot. You cannot just extend your storage, no matter what happens at any time. You can always just pop out the SD card and have all your data.

Do you want to know more about the selfie camera well, which one because there are three to choose from? We got a 64 megapixel mix 686, wide camera, a 12 megapixel ultra-wide mix 363 and a telephoto with three times optical zoom. So, like I said, if selfies are your thing, there is no better phone on the market. The before 8 flip can not only rotate this top of the line camera system around to be used for regular shots and videos and selfie pictures and clips the stepper motor is so smooth. You can even take pictures and videos, while it's rotating and in motion, there's also an auto panorama mode in which the camera rotates through several angles automatically and stitches. The pictures together by itself, all you have to do is hold the phone.

Steady, taking panorama. Picture has never been this easy. There isn't just a selfie and the rear camera setting in free angle, shooting mode you can adjust the orientation of the camera freely to find your perfect angle and in quick angle, shooting mode. There are three angles: presets: you can switch to 45, 90 and 135 degrees. With the press of a single button.

You can even adjust those presets to then switch back and forth between your favorite angles with a single tap. Another benefit of the flip system is that front and rear camera shots, look identical since it's the same camera system, so exposure white balance, colors focus, both HDR, it all looks identical, giving you full freedom over how you want to frame a shot and have a scenario and selfie pictures and videos match seamlessly without a sudden, jumping quality, colors and focus back and forth in picture and video compositions, especially in dark and high contrast. HDR situations like night sceneries and sunsets the camera system and the before 8 flip shines and is worlds apart from other selfie cameras. Now an ultra-wide is 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, even with large groups of people, so long, selfie stick and thanks to automatic, face distortion correction. Everyone looks great, even people, on the edge of the shot in motion tracking mode.

You can lock onto any object or person, and the flip motor then follows automatically up to a full 180 degrees. It even zooms in and out automatically to keep the object in frame. It's almost like a single axis gimbals and allows a really fun and interesting way to shoot short clips, and we added a brand-new feature, object, focus which is ideal for vlogging and show and tell videos in this mode. The camera automatically locks on to the closest object in frame and then follows it as it moves around automatically adjusting the focus. As you can see, our flip camera opens up more possibilities, giving you the freedom to explore new perspectives and get inspired, but again don't take it from me.

We're lucky to have an expert with us here today. Let me welcome Yvonne, hi everyone. I would like to introduce a little about myself. First, I've been living in New York city for the past 10 years, working as an independent freelancer, and I also had a full-time job at well-known magnum photos. I'm a photographer artist, video director and creative director, the concept behind my photography comes from the observation in daily life.

Taking pictures using mobile phone is convenient to carry around. It gives me more possibility to capture my daily inspiration. Next, I want to share a little my experience capturing the moment in my trip to ding man Taiwan using before 8 flip when shooting using my mobile phone in the past. My composition, idea and shooting angle are limited to the size of the screen, but when using the camera of sample knight flip, it increases the possibility. Simple knight flip, creates a wider variety.

When taking pictures, you can easily capture panoramic image without having to move around. It is very convenient and amazing. When I do self-portrait with a mobile phone in the past, I always use the back camera because of the lower quality of front camera, but with simpleness with camera, I can now flip different places and achieve better self-portrait images. Also, the amazing part is that, when shooting a portrait, simple net flip camera creates beautiful foreground and background bouquet in the same quality of any other profession cameras. The video camera functionality of mobile phone is also a very important part.

For me, the 4k or 8k video format of the before 8 flip allows me to complete a video production with high quality using just my phone. At the same time, the directional microphone enables the surrounding sounds to be completely captured, which means a movie like production can be achieved by just using my mobile phone on top of that because of the building vibration reduction function, the video shooting is very stable and smooth professional photographers can also use the stabilizer alongside to achieve more precise composition. Next, I would like to share a short video enjoy. It me time.
