Thank you, I appreciate it. Most people don't like the monotone haha, surprised to find someone who does.

You're welcome!

@Daniel Vipin the Vibration Motor is pretty nice. Its pretty near the one from iphones but Not the same. Never testet it in 120 hz only, using it mostly in the dynamic mode. But i can use it 1 day witout charging with moderate use. But the battery charges very fast with the 30 watt charger

@Daniel Vipin a solid thud. It has a linear Vibration Motor, which is known for beeing in highend Smartphones.

@@sdsfghr sir i wanna know how's the performance? the camera? have you tried to play genshin impact? is the touch verry responsive? im sorry for asking many question, im planning to buy this phone hopefully i would not ended up regreting buying this phone.. please tell me ur honest experience in using this phone.thanks in advance

@@boyyoutube7939 Phone is very fast, genshin Impact you can Play easily with highest settings (but the Phone could be very hot up to 45 degrees with bumper). Touch is very nice. If you using a big Phone actually it could take some time to habituate to this Compact size. I bought this Phone because of the Compact size headphone jack and the very fast Performance.

Thank you and you're welcome. Yea I guess it's dependent on each persons needs and use for the devices. I personally would not need something like a galaxy z fold but prefer a large screen to be able to read my emails and answer comments as well as view videos etc.

@@PBKreviews , that makes total sense, yes. In my case, I prefer to do these actions using my PC, and use the mobile for DMs, calls, Uber :-)

Yup, you can use isopropyl alcohol as well and apply to the sides of the battery and let it sit for 30 seconds so it gets underneath and eats away at the adhesive making it easier to pry off.

Thanks! 😀

@@PBKreviews me again. Forgot to ask you this: can I place thin thermal pad (0.5mm) I usually use for cooling GPU card's VRAM and VRM? If it is doable, where should I put it? I ask this because I read in many forums that this phone heats a lot due to powerful SD888 and causing power spike to the battery. Thermal paste and thermal pad are every PC component's BFF but I don't know about phone..

You're welcome!

👍 you're welcome

You're welcome

Thanks! Yea its nice to see they took the extra step. Also have the zenfone 8 flip teardown up, you can check it out.

👍 Thanks

:)

Thanks!

It doesn't look like its routed through the mid frame. Its just adhered to the midframe/back of the screen. The corners of the flex (where the contact points are that the board sits on) seem slightly tucked behind the frame but once you peel it up and it should come out. Also the parts where the clickers are, there is a rubber gasket covering it in the frame. Removing the gasket should allow you to peel/pull that portion out of the frame as well. So you don't need to remove the screen.

yea most parts should be fairly easy to replace.

@@PBKreviews is there any e major heating issues while playing genshin impact on high settings for 2 hours please reply

@@dearoo4814 not sure, I don't usually play much games on phones. However any phone with the screen on and game running for 2 hours will definitely heat up. Its a normal operation of a phones build design to draw out heat from inside away from components. When the phone lags or drops frames, then you will know if its overheating or not handling the game or task.

@Wurzel Tee yea as mentioned in the video, isopropyl alcohol can be used.

why not the battery? o.o

Hi, thanks. You can gain access to the flex cable for the button clickers once you remove the motherboard but to actually remove the physical buttons, you would need to pry the screen off as well since the access to the removing the physical buttons is from the screen side. But you would still need to probably remove the flex cable with clickers for the buttons to make room in that slot to be able to remove it from the other side. However if you don't have a broken screen, keep in mind prying your screen of has a high risk of damaging or breaking the screen so you might need to have that replaced as well.

usually the vibrator motors are held down with some adhesive (double sided tape like adhesive). so you can use a replacement adhesive n cut it down to shape. b7000 can be used but better to stick with adhesive tape. Only thing you need to do is apply heat to loosen the adhesive so you can pry it off easier and be careful to not tear or damage the flex cable when peeling it off

You're welcome. Yea its a well built phone.

Well no there are ramdump problems bricking this phone after fiew months

​@@ptaku2007Fire months?

@@cool_bug_facts my phone switch words randomly i corrected it

Thank you. Not sure what you are asking though. Let me know.

The mic's are soldered onto the main board and bottom sub board so they would require de soldering to remove them to replace. Or for the bottom sub board which is the main mic, the sub board can be replaced. The secondary mic on top would probably be the one which is active as well during speaker phone.

Hi, thanks. I had checked, just didnt show in the video. The main top camera has OIS.

You can pull out the rubber cover that is in the frame covering the cable, and then gently peel off the volume/power flex from the frame and remove it, then if I am not mistaken you can either pull out or push in the buttons to remove them but not 100% sure since sometimes they require prying off the screen on some phones. If its not clicking or its clicking but not registering, most likely you would only need to replace the flex cable and not the actual key.

You're welcome. You can try rounded.com/zenfone-8-zs590ks/?sl=en or amzn.to/3NbZVbV

but it still getting updates. Last one was a month ago.

There are a lot of listings with adhesive pre attached to the back so you just peel off the cover and apply to the phone. Here is one for example: www.ebay.com/itm/315027840321?itmmeta=01HRS56TTW5XMBKTDFKBFWV0J8&hash=item49591f5d41:g:ZA8AAOSwHctleUUV&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4Gk6znRTxC%2FVD1TfllXnL%2FMmlPTcr61iYENPuHzPVxUD8gEmuqg9BQg%2B3I8dIL5hxbssx7H7C4CxcTtEiwetH%2B6yDmK1o5sP8b2N528CHK3N6vmolbPg6vXI%2F1bxn7pAEFYdJyocHEZXTS6QbX4%2FFvCwTiLlPfclGIvQCHGRkr7zj30ChidgMvz6GBJarQUSUkGnik6xTOzqnZjM7SJY1wQk0da0Wz6uz4n0TmIxRRiNMjBtXIbOMPa0Yf1zko5sAaWzWEFDL5RVSXA1jWOEJs7Yh7q4fUjjN15zQ%2BAyyfsP%7Ctkp%3ABFBMxK2bpcZj

Once you have access to disconnecting the battery cables and other cables in the way, you can replace the battery, you don't have to take apart the entire phone.

@@PBKreviews Thanks, i will give it a try! ❤

exactly what I was wondering, thank you!

Just got mine this week. I was hesitant to buy a new phone since my Huawei P9 (Leica) was almost irreplaceble. The ZenFone 8 checked all my boxes, and I am very satisfied with its size, performance, cameras, 3.5mm audio jack, display. At 5.9" this is a tad bigger than my old P9, but its truly next gen, haha :-) Very happy with this phone, go Asus and Sony with the smaller sized flagship devices! Really don't get the 6.6"-6.7" flagships nowadays. I don't carry a purse nor a bag, I wear the phone in my pockets, sometimes my backpocket when road cycling. Cannot carry a phablet with me all day long. I was almost tented to go with an iPhone just because of their smaller size. Maybe next time ^_^

@@StefanAndreiRosu Thanks for sharing your experience. Could you please tell me if you faced any battery issues ? For example battery drain and battery overheating ?

@@rohitmukherjee8516 , no overheating thus far. Then again I don't play games nor consume lots of video on my mobile. The battery is decent but nothing to write home about. Guess the SD888 could use more than 4000mAh. All in all I'm pleased .

@@StefanAndreiRosu I can't understand the crazy sizes for most people either! I love iPhone 5S size (currently using a 2016 SE). I'm also considering the 12 Mini for its size, but I really want the Zenfone 8's headphone jack, fingerprint scanner etc. Just wish the Zenfone 8 could compete with the 12 Mini in size.

@@MishMoves by today's standards, the 8 is small 😂 You also get a 30W charger, a cable and a hard case, plus 120Hz display. This bothered me about the new iPhones. You have to pay extra for the full package that comes w/ other brands.

Hi, I didn't have it for a long period of time to really get a feel of how durable it is, but during the short time I had it, it seemed like a solid device.

Thanks. Yes the ROM or storage is soldered to the main board, so you would lose your data.

You're welcome!

You just replaced the back cover? I don't see why the camera app would stop working if the back cover is only replaced. Check the camera cable and make sure it is connected properly. Also backup your data and do a factory reset to see if the software is the issue.

I reconnected the camera but it still wouldn't work. I suspect that the fall which broke the back might have broken the camera too. Looking online one of the two back cameras failing is not an isolated incident. I have now ordered a replacement camera module, hopefully it helps.

👍

Thanks 👍

thanks. the glass alone is not user replaceable so your only option is a complete screen replacement 🙂

@@PBKreviews Aha, ok, got it. Thanks so very much for taking the time to reply - - greatly appreciated. #that1timeileftthecaseoff!

I have the same problem. Do you get any answer?

@@Amylein94 Nopes, probably gonna wait until a screen repair or something else more crucial shows up before fixing.

That happened to me. I just used a flat surface to flatten the bent a little bit and it was enough for the button to work properly.

@@sergiomarques1133 Thank you for the tip, will try👌

@@sergiomarques1133 Can confirm, it worked excellent. Applied preassure gradually until function started to return. Perfect'ish again after a couple of tries with gradually increasing the force.

The complete screen with glass would need to be replaced, since the glass alone is not user replaceable.

Have you solved this problem l am having same issue too 😭😭

No, probably that can only Asus. But i buy me the zenfone 9.

The camera lens cover glass is held down with adhesive, so you can heat it up and pry it off without having to remove the back cover. As for applying new adhesive, if the replacement lens cover doesn't come with adhesive already on it or provided, you can watch my video i did on how to apply new adhesive for smartphones and you will get an idea. Here is a link i found for the replacement lens cover part www.fixshop.eu/nahradne-diely-asus-zenfone-asus-zenfone-8-zs590ks/asus-zenfone-8-zs590ks-rear-camera-lens-13010-04460100/

@@PBKreviews Thank you very much for fast reply!

@@TomasCzechia hey! I also got a broken camera glass cover. Did you manage to repair it without removing the back cover? Did you use a heat gun? How did you apply the adhesive on the replacement glass cover?

The reason they say that is because when you pry off the battery, they deem it not reusable due to the fact if it has bends or warps it would make the battery not function to its fullest potential. However you can use isopropyl alcohol and apply some around the sides of the battery and let it sit for 30 seconds so it eats away at the adhesive underneath making it easier to pry off, thus reducing the potential damage that can be caused to the battery. As long as your careful should be fine. But in general I don't see the need to remove the battery since its not in the way of anything that would prevent access to the part you want replaced. When it comes to the screen though, they are correct about that, because from the looks of it, you can remove and replace the flex cable for the buttons after removing the motherboard, but the actual physical buttons look to be removable from the front of the frame when the screen is removed, so prying the screen off poses a very high chance of damaging or breaking it etc. Some buttons can be removed by pulling them directly out of the frame but not all so not sure if these can be pulled out without taking the phone apart or not. If yours are broken or damaged and you don't care, you can try pulling them out of their sockets from the outside to see if they will come off. Then you can push in the replacement one.

You're welcome

There is a secondary microphone on the small blue board on the back glass by the camera bezel. Make sure you transfer that board over to your replacement back glass and that the back glass is seated properly so that boards contacts touch the main board contacts to give it signal. I'm assuming that mic is not being activated for noise cancellation and thus giving you this issue.

Sorry not sure where it would be. Usually they are the circle gold points on the board but not sure which ones.

Not sure, I have not herd about that, first time I am hearing it.

👍

Hi, thanks. Not sure honestly, I have thought about it as well but never looked into why. Possibly just what each factory has on hand.

There are both the rated and the typical capacity written on the battery. The typical is 4000mAh.

No the glass itself is not user replaceable. Its glued to the screen and requires special tools/machines to do the job. Some people mickey mouse it but the chance of cracking the screen or damaging it when trying to pry the old glass off on top of re gluing a new one and having dust under it and touch being off etc is just not worth it. You would need to replace the complete screen assembly.

@@PBKreviews Thank you so much for your reply. Your response was what I expected to be honest, after watching some videos of it being performed, It seems very fiddly. I use the zenfone for work only now, as I have the new pixel 6 pro for my personal toy. I can live with the screen damage as it is, so long as I can prevent the cracks from getting worse. Then maybe I'll replace the screen at a later date, If the prices drop more. I'm fairly confident of replacing the screen myself, as I have a few old phones that I have been practicing on, taking apart and putting back together

No you will be fine. The mic and filter sit above the hole.

Didn't notice much of a difference compared to other haptic feedback motors. I don't have the phone with me anymore to look more into it but yep.

Optical

Hi, yes you will be fine. Both the mic and rubber gasket/filter are seated above the hole so they would not be damaged.

Like a letter "L" shape passage? so the sim ejector will not directly hit the mic sir?

@@ronellomibao9205 yes exactly👍

Thank you so much sir!! ;)

@@ronellomibao9205 honestly i did the same thing lol

True.

Has enough thermal paste and cooling to keep it running pretty smooth. Also has adequate measures in place (strong adhesive, gasket around openings and ports) for the ip68. Phone should be pretty solid, but both front and back are glass, so dropping it would have a strong chance of cracking either one.

@@PBKreviews thanks :) For a compact phone they did well then

Lol yep

@@PBKreviews is it bad? Or small/weak? Some reviews said it has good haptics

Its available on ebay, but pretty expensive right now. (www.ebay.com/itm/393380040414?hash=item5b97470ede:g:HZQAAOSwA7pguhTj) you can also try contacting asus and see if they offer repair service for it.

@@PBKreviews Omg thanks for the help, I sent it to a service in my country and I hope it is cheaper !

@@ovidiumuresan3410 how "cheap" was it?

Yes, you would need to install a new original pre cut adhesive strip made for the phone to retain the ip rating/feature.

The RAM is soldered onto the board and would require expert soldering skills to be able to de solder the ram and replace.

will have a few done early next week.

Hi, you should be fine. The mic sits above or bellow the hole and usually the filter is at an angle with the hole as well, even if it got peirced, the hole would be small and would not pose too much of a risk.

Is the mic situated right at the end of the hole or is it tucked away to the side away from the mic hole like other phones? Please confirm just want to know if I damaged the water resistance or the actual mic in anyway I heard from jerryrigeverything that most phones have the actual mic to the side so it's no where near the hole I wondered if it's the same case here? Thanks

@@ripzy1234 hi, yes the mic sits above or below the hole depending on what side your looking at the phone from. So the mic would not be damaged. Most filters also sit at an angle but some sit in front of the hole, but even if the filter got a small hole in it, its so small so I really don't think it would pose much risk.

@@PBKreviews as long as it's not directly at the end of the hole as I was worried I may have punctured the water resistance or the actual mic hardware however if you're saying it's above the hole and not at the end of it that's good news so thanks for that. Was wondering what you meant by filter? Is it at an angle in the case of the ZenFone 8?

Hi, no usually most batteries are like that. After a little use they will show 99% since it is not 100% anymore that the phone is now being used.

It connects to the charger port flex cable and it's attached to the back of the screen, you would need to pry off the screen to gain access to it in addition to taking the phone apart to disconnect the cable.

@@PBKreviews actually I thought it has ultrasonic fingerprint sensor...thats why I asked to...sir.

@@PBKreviews Hi thanks for the video. After a display replacement, the finger print doesn't work. Do you know if i had to reset the phone or what i can do? the finger print glow if i touch it, but it doesn't vibrat.

I don't think so, everything should be replaceable.

Will look into it

You don't need to replace the frame, but makes for a much easier screen replacement if you get a screen and frame combo that is pre attached. If not, the screen is held down with adhesive and once you take the phone apart, you can heat it up and pry the screen of the midframe.

:)

the back is glass, frame is a type of aluminum alloy.

I usually base phones which are bad to terrible between 1-5 on difficulty and design, and 6-10 for average to easiest and good design. So if the phone is not completely un-repairable or a has a design that is just so complicated that it's not worth touching, then I would rate it on the second tier starting from 6-10.

:)

👍

The ram is on top of the processor @2:53 in the video. The storage would be another chip that is soldered onto the board under one of the shields, not sure which one. Probably next to the processor somewhere that is covered by the metal shield.

Will be doing it, waiting for it to arrive. :)

@@PBKreviews 😍.. tq sir..

@@AbdulAziz-fj7qp You're welcome :)

You will probably have to take the phone apart and gently try to lift up and pull the sub board where the sim reader is while you try to push the ejector tool to pull the sim tray from the reader. But be careful since you can damage or break the sim reader pins. Worst case, you will have to replace that sub board.

You're welcome

Not sure what video you are watching but i did not unplug the battery last, as soon as I had access to unplugging the battery, it was the first thing I unplugged before disconnecting the rest of the cables and parts. 😀
