In July of last year, the Taiwanese electronics giant unveiled the Asus Zenfone 8 Series. The India debut was slated for July 15, last year, however owing to an increase in COVID-19 cases in India, the Asus Zenfone 8 Series launch was postponed. The series consists of two devices: the Asus Zenfone 8 Flip and the Zenfone 8. Nonetheless, after much delay, the Asus 8z India launch is scheduled for today, February 28.
The Asus 8z India launch will take place on February 28 at 12 p.m. Because it will be an online presentation, the event will be live-streamed on the company’s official YouTube account or via social media. You can also watch it live right here on our website by clicking the link below.
Asus hasn’t revealed much about the gadget, although it is possible that it may come in the nation under the name Asus 8Z. Asus has also revealed that the phone is sweat-resistant, hinting that it has a high IP rating. The Asus 8z will be available only on Flipkart.
It is predictable that the Asus Zenfone 8 series would be released in India under a little different moniker, Asus 8Z. The Delhi High Court barred Asus from selling and promoting smartphones and accessories under the ‘Zen’ trademark in 2019. According to the Delhi High Court, the trademarks ‘Zen’ and ‘ZenMobile’ are protected by the Trade Marks Act of 1999, so it is prohibited from selling directly or indirectly mobile phones, accessories, or any other related products or goods that bear the trademarks Zen, Zenfone, or any identical trademarks.
