Asus Zenfone 7 Leaked Specifications:

From the leaks that have surfaced online about the device, it looks like the new Asus Zenfone 7 will be more of a balanced smartphone for the masses rather than a gaming-focused smartphone. The reports say that the Asus Zenfone 7 will sport an LCD panel by BOE rather a using an AMOLED panel and will sport a 6.4-inch display with 2340 x 1080 pixels resolution. There are also reports saying that the Asus Zenfone 7 will only sport a 60Hz refresh panel instead of using a higher refresh panel. This move was probably done for two reasons. One reason probably was to conserve battery drain and extend battery life for users who prefer a longer-lasting battery. The second reason could be just to make the device more competitive in pricing.

When it comes to the processor under the hood in Asus Zenfone 7 the report suggests that instead of using the more recent Snapdragon 865 plus, Asus has gone with the older but still powerful Snapdragon 865. This will make the new Zenfone 7 a 4G device rather than a 5G device. The camera setup at the back will be using a triple camera instead of a quad camera setup. The primary camera will be a 64MP Sony IMX686 sensor. The secondary camera will be a 12MP IMX363 ultrawide angle lens and the third camera will be a ToF or Time of Flight camera. When it comes to the battery, the Asus Zenfone 7 is reported to use a 5000mAh battery unit with 30W of fast charging. A motorized camera might also make an appearance on the Zenfone 7 but there is no reason to think so since Asus is clearly trying to cut the competition in pricing and compete with the other devices with similar specs in pricing.
