It looks like Asus is getting ready to launch a new Android smartphone as a new ASUS Zenfone 7 has recently been benchmarked.
The new Zenfone 7 smartphone recently appeared on the Geekbench benchmarks and the device is listed with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 mobile processor.
As well as the Snapdragon 865, the handset is also listed with 8GB of RAM. The device is listed with the model number ASUS_I002D. This combination of a high-end processor and substantial RAM suggests that the Zenfone 7 will be a powerful device capable of handling demanding applications and multitasking with ease.
Expected Variants and Features
Those are the only details we know about the handset so far, but we are expecting at least two models in the Asus Zenfone 7 range: a standard and a Pro version. The Pro version is likely to come with enhanced features such as a higher refresh rate display, more storage options, and possibly an improved camera system.
The Zenfone 7 series is anticipated to continue Asus’s tradition of innovative design. For instance, the Zenfone 6 featured a unique flip camera mechanism that allowed the rear camera to be used as a front camera, providing superior selfie quality. It wouldn’t be surprising if Asus introduces another groundbreaking feature in the Zenfone 7 series.
Additional Specifications and Features
While we await more detailed specifications, it’s reasonable to expect that the Zenfone 7 will come with a high-resolution display, possibly an AMOLED panel, which is known for its vibrant colors and deep blacks. The battery capacity is also likely to be substantial, given the power-hungry nature of the Snapdragon 865 processor. Fast charging capabilities are almost a given in this segment, and wireless charging might also be included.
In terms of software, the Zenfone 7 will likely run on the latest version of Android with Asus’s custom ZenUI on top. ZenUI is known for its clean interface and useful features, such as customizable quick settings and advanced battery management options.
The camera setup is another area where the Zenfone 7 could shine. With the trend moving towards multiple camera lenses, including ultra-wide, telephoto, and macro lenses, the Zenfone 7 might offer a versatile camera system capable of capturing high-quality photos in various conditions. AI enhancements for photography, such as scene detection and improved low-light performance, are also expected.
Connectivity options will likely include 5G support, making the Zenfone 7 future-proof as 5G networks continue to roll out globally. Other standard features such as NFC for contactless payments, Bluetooth 5.1, and dual-band Wi-Fi are also expected.
As soon as we get some more details about the handsets, we will let you guys know. The official launch date and pricing are still under wraps, but given the benchmarking leaks, an announcement could be imminent. The pricing will be a crucial factor, as Asus will need to position the Zenfone 7 competitively against other flagship devices from brands like Samsung, OnePlus, and Xiaomi.
