We’re sure you have read our previous report on the upcoming ASUS Zenfone 7 series in which we reported about the imminent launch of two possible devices from the company – the ASUS Zenfone 7 and the Zenfone 7 Pro. Today, we have multiple reports that reveal some of the key specifications of the Zenfone 7. First, German tech blogger Roland Quandt posted some details of the phone including the battery capacity, processor, and the pricing. In the tweet (posted below), he mentions that the Zenfone 7 will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ chip. He also confirmed the existence of an 8GB + 256GB variant while also confirming the battery capacity of 5000mAh. He has also pegged the pricing of this variant at EUR 549 – which translates to around Rs 50,000. We have embedded the tweet below.
However, we found an earlier post by Chinese publication ReaMeizu which published a report with additional details about the device which it says has been sourced from the kernel source of the ASUS ROG Phone 3. The report reveals that the Zenfone 7 will bear the model number ZS670KS. There are conflicting reports about the processor used. While Roland says that the phone gets the SD865+, this report indicates that the Zenfone 7 will come powered by the standard SD865 processor.
The Chinese publication also reveals that the ASUS Zenfone 7 will use a BOE-made IPS LCD display with a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels. This might come as a disappointment to folks who expected an AMOLED panel on the Zenfone 7 this year. ASUS is perhaps the only manufacturer that continues to use IPS LCD panels on its flagship devices. That being said, these displays have always been of the highest quality and have been traditionally praised for their color accuracy and vividness. The display is also likely to measure 6.4-inches across. Other pieces of information we currently have is the possibility of the ASUS Zenfone 7 getting either a side-mounted fingerprint scanner or a traditional rear-mounted one. The phone also seems to get a triple slot for two SIM cards and a microSD card.
All said, with just days left for the unveiling of the Zenfone 7 series, we do not need to wait too long before we get complete information about these handsets.
