Asus Zenfone 8Z could be the rebranded avatar of Zenfone 8 for India, may take on OnePlus 9

Asus is yet to launch its Zenfone 8 series smartphones in India, but a recent listing of the devices suggests that the vanilla variant might be carrying a different moniker than its global name.

Asus postponed the India launch of its Zenfone 8 series of smartphones that was earlier scheduled to take place last week. Considering the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, it is yet unclear as to when the new Asus devices will debut in the country. New information, however, has surfaced around the Zenfone 8 series phones before the India launch. It is expected that Asus will introduce two models in the upcoming launch, namely Asus Zenfone 8 and Zenfone 8 Flip, which have already been showcased at a global launch. It is now being reported that the vanilla Zenfone 8 could be called the Zenfone 8Z in India. Going by this logic, the Zenfone 8 Flip might also be renamed to Zenfone 8Z Flip. However, this is not the case as per the recent observations made.
