ASUS may have just released the ROG Phone 5, but there are signs that the company is gearing to announce the ZenFone 8 series. While it looks like the ZenFone 8 could have a 6.67-inch, it may be joined by a 5.9-inch model with a 120 Hz display. ASUS has reportedly equipped the so-called ZenFone 8 Mini with a Snapdragon 888 SoC, too.

this means it will probably be the same size as the s10e.
QuoteThe 8 MP telephoto camera from last year's models has gone though, for some reason
The reason is obviously 6.7 => 5.9 screen. Not gonna expect the usual 5000mah battery, but even if it's 3500-4000mah, I'm sold. The catch here is pricing, if it's below $500, it would definitely be the new king of compact phones.
I'll take it, because there's nothing else like it, but that s*** ain't mini.
