Asus Zenfone 8 megathread

Asus have released the Zenfone 8 series today. The Zenfone 8's main selling point is the form factor since it is one of the smallest Android flagships in the market while not compromising on features such as a flagship processor, a headphone jack and IP68 water resistance.
