The Asus Zenfone 8 Mini has surfaced again, this time through a TUV SUD certification listing that confirms one important detail about the upcoming compact flagship. According to the listing, the Asus Zenfone 8 Mini will support 30W rapid charging, giving us our first official-style look at how the smallest member of the Zenfone 8 Series will keep its battery topped up.
Asus Zenfone 8 Mini Charging and Certification
A tipster shared a screenshot of the TUV SUD listing, which indicates that the phone will get 30W rapid charging. The device is internally codenamed SAKE and is expected to be the cheapest model in the lineup. So far, no information has been revealed about the exact battery capacity (mAh) of the phone, only that it supports the 30W charging standard noted in the certification. Certifications like the one from TUV SUD typically appear shortly before a device is ready for the market, so the appearance of the Asus Zenfone 8 Mini in this listing suggests the launch may not be far away. Until Asus shares official details, the 30W figure remains the most concrete piece of information we have about the phone's charging hardware.
Where the Zenfone 8 Mini Fits in the Lineup
Asus is preparing to launch its Zenfone 8 Series, and the company could introduce three smartphones under this series. The Zenfone 8 Mini is expected to be the most affordable option of the three, positioning it as the entry point for buyers who want the Zenfone 8 experience in a more compact and budget-friendly package. As the smallest model in the family, it is likely to make a few trade-offs compared with its pricier siblings, though leaked specifications suggest it will still pack a respectable hardware sheet.

Expected Asus Zenfone 8 Mini Specifications
No official information has been released about the full specifications and features of this phone. However, leaked reports have mentioned several details. The phone is tipped to feature a 5.92-inch Full HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. As for the processor, there is a strong possibility of the Snapdragon 888 powering the device.
On the camera front, the Zenfone 8 Mini may pack a 64-megapixel primary camera with a Sony IMX686 sensor, while the secondary camera could use a Sony IMX663 lens. The phone is also expected to include the Cirrus CS35L45 amplifier feature within its camera setup. It is currently unclear whether the Zenfone 8 Series will retain a flip camera setup like the Zenfone 7 Series, which was one of the standout features of the previous generation. If Asus does carry that design forward, it could allow the same sensors to be used for both front and rear photography, but for now the company has not confirmed anything about the camera mechanism.

While Asus has not confirmed these details officially, the TUV SUD certification adds credibility to the 30W charging claim.

As always with pre-launch leaks, the final specifications could change before the official reveal.
