Regardless of storage, the Zenfone 8 has a rear dual camera array that has a primary 64MP F/1.8 camera featuring optical image stabilisation, PDAF and a Sony IMX686 sensor to kick out pixel-binned 16MP shots and 8K video.
This is paired up with a 12MPF/2/2 ultra wide angle camera using a Sony IMX363 sensor riding shotgun with dual PDAF. The front also has a 12MP with dual PDAF for selfies. The phone also has stereo speakers with dual Cirrus Logic CS35L45 DACs and a 3.5mm audio jack. Keeping it powered is a 4,000mAh battery with 30W quick charging.
