I had an Asus Zenfone 8 for around a month, and really liked the design and small form-factor. I am a serial phone switcher, and due to the high'ish price ($700) and mediocre battery life, I returned it. Hoping this one does better!

For what it's worth, I use a Zenfone 8 and regularly get 2-3 days of battery life off it. I came from older, sanely-sized HTC phones, and am actually pretty happy with it - I was lucky to get a day off any of the prior three HTC phones (Sensation, M8, 10) that I had.

I have a Zenfone 8 Flip because it's basically the only good phone without a punch-hole display or a notch (those really annoy me) except the Sony ones that are grey market only here. I suspect that Asus won't make a motorized camera version of this one, sadly (maybe behind-the-screen front cameras will solve the issue... I would just buy a phone without a front camera, I never use it).

Looks like a decent android phone, but ... what makes this special and HN front-page worthy?

There is another thread on the iPhone SE where a lot of people are commenting on how they miss compact phones. I suspect that is why this was submitted / upvoted. I'm glad it was, didn't know this device existed.
