Compact phones have fallen out of fashion in favor of bigger and bigger screens, but the new Asus Zenfone 8 has arrived with outsized performance in a small package.

The Zenfone 8 s 5.9-inch display is about the same size as the Pixel 5, but instead of a mid-range Snapdragon 765G processor, Asus crammed in Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 888 chip, a feat that becomes even more impressive considering the Zenfone 8 starts at just $600 $100 less than the Pixel 5.
On top of that, the Zenfone 8 also features a Samsung-made FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 6GB or 8GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of storage depending on the config. You even get a real 3.5mm headphone jack (in addition to some pretty punchy stereo speakers) and an in-screen fingerprint reader, two features you don’t get on the Pixel 5. So even though Asus didn’t include support for a microSD card reader, the Zenfone 8 is still packing big specs
