Talking about its construction, the Asus ZenFone 8 Flip is mostly created with Glass (Corning Gorilla Glass 3) and Aluminum . Asus offers this cellphone in two color options, galactic black and glacier silver. Although the Asus ZenFone 8 Flip is only 6.5" long and 3.04 inches wide, it is still able to fit a a 6.7 inches display. This cellphone is slim and good-looking, being just 0.38 inches thick. This time, it seems like Asus didn't care so much about the weight in this 8.11 oz cellphone.
This cellphone has only a 64 mega-pixels back-facing camera. this device's back-facing camera has an aperture of f/1.8 so it can shoot sharp photographs even in poor lighting conditions. It is also able to capture videos in 7680x4320 at 30 frames per second, and HD 1280x720 slow motion videos up to 480 frames per second (16 times slower than reality). The camera also has time lapse video.

This phone packs a great 5000 mAh non-replaceable battery, enough to provide the Asus ZenFone 8 Flip with a marvelous battery life. An issue to take into account is that the Asus ZenFone 8 Flip's battery isn't removable so you can't change it when it begins to live shorter, while with such a huge battery size you will probably buy a new phone before it happens.
