Just over a year hind Asus charmed us with the flipping cameras on the Zenfone 6, the congregation is unanticipatedly with the Zenfone 7 as well as 7 Pro. Both equipment still have rotating camera arrays like meanest year's model, as well as the aforementioned massive 5,000mAh batteries. Except this year, there are a caseation of new gloss including an spear zoom lens in the camera diversity as well as a new OLED brandish with a 90Hz stele rate.
Asus says the phones are planned for launch in weeded European markets on September 1st, except not in the US. Existent European appraisement is because of be announced on that date. The second-hand is going on sale in Taiwan starting today. In that country the Zenfone 7's price starts at NT$21,990 (around $749), while the Zenfone 7 Pro expenses NT$27,990 (around $953).
The flipping camera diversity is as eye-catching on the Zenfone 7 as it was on meanest year's phone. With the tap of a button, the three camera sensors throb essentially from the unanticipatedly of the second-hand to the front, significancy there's no permeate for any pally of brandish notch, except conjointly that you get the aforementioned flexibleness with selfie shots as you do with the rear camera.
This year, Asus has included three cameras in the array. There's a 64-megapixel wide-angle camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera with a 113-degree grange of view, as well as an 8-megapixel telephoto camera with a 3x optical zoom. That organ you get a super-useful ultrawide selfie camera (handy for incorporating selfies) as well as a zoom whose use as a selfie camera isn't immediately obvious. On the Zenfone 7 Pro, the wide-angle as well as telephoto cameras come with optical simulacre stabilization, except that's not included on the regular Zenfone 7.
As well as boosting the number as well as resolution of the individually sensors, Asus says its rejigged the almighty flipping mechanism. Picked importantly, it's now rated to survive 200,000 flips rather than the 100,000 the Zenfone 6 could bear -- Asus reckons it would booty flipping the cameras 100 times a day for goatee years to abrasion it out. You can conjointly now manually weeded specific angles you want the cameras to flip to, as well as Asus conjointly says the workaday tool is faster as well as smoother than in the primogenitor model.
There are a couple of noteworthy upgrades Asus has made to the tegument on the Zenfone 7. First up is that the brandish now has a high-refresh rate 90Hz OLED panel, up from the 60Hz LCD tegument from meanest year. That organ it should peekaboo pregnant smoother. Asus conjointly says the tegument can now get as catenate as 700 nits in chromatic conditions, making it easier to apprehend in sunlight, while conjointly enjoying a bit more resolving manor at 6.67 inches. It's still got neutral a 1080p resolution, however.
.. .The massive 5,000mAh bombardment sponsoring from meanest year's phone, as well as this year it supports up to 30W fast charging. Unfortunately, there's no wireless charging in sight: Asus said it wanted to rhythm a bulkiest bombardment rather than obtaining to divvy space to the housewares it would require.
There's conjointly no rear-mounted fingerprint sensor this time around. Instead, there's a side-mounted one built into the phone's primacy button, which conjointly plays double maneuvers as a adjustment key, with customizable double tap as well as hold gestures. Unlike the Zenfone 6, the Zenfone 7 doesn't have a headphone jack, as well as there's conjointly no IP appraisement (it's got a big flipping camera array, hind all). Both handsets are awaited in either white or black.
Internally, the Zenfone 7 as well as 7 Pro are specced slightly differently. The 7 Pro is powered by a Snapdragon 865 Runnerup processor paired with 8GB of RAM as well as 256GB of storage. Meanwhile, the Zenfone 7 has a slightly slower Snapdragon 865 with 128GB of accumulator as well as either 6GB or 8GB of RAM. Both tangency Sub-6GHz 5G (with no mmWave), as well as external accumulator application microSD cards with up to 2TB of capacity.
We surprised ourselves with how pregnant we loved meanest year's Zenfone 6, as well as from the specs, it seems like Asus has kept picked of what we loved ahead intact, while conjointly attempting to adjuration some of the problems with the device. Our galore review is coming soon.
