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.

Asus also released the Zenfone 8 Flip which is a successor to the Zenfone 6 and 7. It maintains the flip camera design and the larger form factor.

Pixel users - things you'll hate about OneUI

So straight off - I know I'm pedantic. This review is for other people like me who are considering making the switch from Pixel / Andoid One to Samsung's OneUI.
