There is a couple of series of [Asus](https://technosports.co.in/?s=Asus) which have once ruled the smartphone world, some of them are ruling in fact: Asus [Zenfone](https://technosports.co.in/?s=Zenfone) series and Asus [ROG](https://technosports.co.in/?s=ROG) series. The ROG series of Asus is popularly known for its powerful gaming smartphones. In recent days, a report has come out saying that Asus is about to launch a small and premium Zenfone Mini flagship phone (probably be the Asus Zenfone 8 mini), and apart from it, the Asus Rog 5 could get launched in April.

As per the reports filed, the upcoming Zenfone 8 Mini will be a small-sized smartphone, probably less than 6-inch of the display but not below 5.5 inches. So, it should be smaller than the Zenfone 6/ASUS 6Z with a 6.4-inch display. That’s all we’ve known yet regarding the design of the phone.

As per reports, this phone is expected to be powered by the [Qualcomm Snapdragon 888](https://technosports.co.in/?s=Qualcomm+Snapdragon+888) or [Snapdragon 870](https://technosports.co.in/?s=Snapdragon+870) chipset.
