Asus launched the Asus Zenfone 8 series including the Asus Zenfone 8, and Zenfone 8 Flip globally earlier this week. The Asus Zenfone 8 series devices are expected to launch in India, but the devices might carry a different moniker in the country compared to the global market. To those unaware, due to a branding lawsuit against the company in 2019, the brand had launched the Asus Zenfone 6 as the Asus 6Z in India. Looks like the brand hasn’t solved the branding lawsuit, and as a consequence, Asus might launch the Asus Zenfone 8 as Asus 8Z in India, at least the Google Play Supported device listing hints the same.
Recently the Indian variant of the Asus Zenfone 8 with model number Asus_I006D appeared on the Google Play Supported devices list. The listing also revealed that the smartphone might carry Asus 8Z moniker in the market. Sudhanshu Ambhore took it to Twitter to share the development.
