The Zenfone 8 Flip feels solid in hand, and only premium materials have been used in its making. you get a large, uninterrupted display, an under-display reader, and even a notification LED, which is a rare sight these days.
Not everything about its handling is ideal, though. The device is slippery, thick, heavy and the back glass (in this color at least) is a huge fingerprint magnet. Moreover, the camera mechanism adds to the overall weight and tips the phone forward, meaning it’s top-heavy and easy to slip out of your hand.

As opposed to most modern smartphones, the Zenfone 8 Flip keeps the notification LED. Asus has found a pretty cool place for the LED since there’s no room for it on the front. It’s placed at the bottom side of the frame, right next to the USB-C port. The speaker grille and the main microphone are there, too.
On the left, we have the SIM card tray only, which can house two SIM cards and a microSD card simultaneously. On the right, we have the volume rocker and the accented power button, both of which have nice, clicky feedback. They are also conveniently positioned within thumb’s reach, and the same goes for the fingerprint scanner.
Zenfone 8 Flip from the side
While last year’s device had the fingerprint reader integrated into the power button, this year’s Zenfone 8 Flip puts it behind the screen where it belongs. And we are happy to report that we had zero troubles using it. Its placement is optimal for the size of the handset.
