Taiwanese Electronics Giant Asus today announced the launch of its new smartphone in the Indian market. After a long wait, Asus 8z has finally hit the Indian stores today. Note that the device is a rebranded variant of Asus Zenfone 8 (global name) that was announced last year but here in India it has landed with a new name because of the trademark issue. Originally, the Asus Zenfone 8 series had two models: the Zenfone 8 and the Zenfone 8 Flip, but the company decided to introduce only the former, abandoning the one with a flipping camera.

Asus 8z boasts a fixed dual camera setup with a 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and a 12-megapixel Sony IMX363 ultra-wide-angle camera with Dual PDAF and 4cm macro shooting. A 12-megapixel selfie camera is located in a punch-hole cutout in the left side corner of the panel. It should be noted that the business did not skimp on functionality; the camera setup here has Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), which Flip lacked.
