In a teaser video posted on Twitter, Asus has shown a silhouette of what seems to be one of the Zenfone 8 series devices. It shows that the smartphone has a punch-hole mounted to the top-left corner of the screen. It means that the Zenfone 8 series will not come with the flip camera mechanism which was introduced with the Zenfone 6 lineup. The flip camera mechanism had become the USP of the Zenfone lineup as it not only allowed the display to be free from any kind of notch or punch-hole but also allowed users to use rear cameras for taking selfies.
In another teaser video, the Zenfone 8 series has “Smoothness” doodled on its display with 120 “o” letters, suggesting that the Zenfone 8 series smartphones will have a 120Hz screen.
