Asus launches the Zenfone 8 and Zenfone 8 Flip

During a special live-streamed event last night Asus took the wraps off its new Zenfone 8 and Zenfone 8 Flip flagship smartphones. These are aimed squarely at the value flagship market, rather than the gamer-focused ROG Phone series. While Asus appears to be a leader in the gaming phone niche, I'm sure the new Zenfone 8 series will be adept at mobile gaming, due to the high-end specs, but will face much stiffer competition out of the gaming niche and in the wider market.
