ASUS ZenFone 8 Mini case renders

Do bear in mind that the above ZenFone 8 Mini renders (not the case) is conceptual. The actual smartphone could look different. Based on the phone case, we can infer that the ZenFone 8 Mini will ship with a square-shaped camera module. The volume rocker and power button appear to be side-by-side. ASUS has thrown in a 3.5mm headphone jack at the top edge, too. It is hard to tell what the selfie camera could have in store for us, but we’re probably looking at a hole-punch camera. 

We already know about several key ASUS ZenFone 8 Mini specifications, such as its 5.9-inch AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz. One of its camera sensors a 64MP unit, which could be accompanied by an ultra-wide-angle/telephoto lens. While the ASUS ZenFone 8 Mini’s battery capacity is unknown and its TUV Rhineland listing tells us that it will support fast charging at 30W. It shouldn’t be long before we know for sure, as the smartphone is slated for a May 12th launch.
