The tele cam has a 80mm lens, which means 3x optical zoom compared the main camera. On
the Asus Zenfone 7 Pro, this cam has optical image stabilization, as does the main camera. On
the vanilla model, neither cam has OIS.
Speaking of the main camera, it now features a 64MP Sony IMX686 sensor with 2x1 OCL
autofocus. It can record 8K videos at 30 fps and do 120 fps slow motion at 4K. There’s an HDR
video mode as well as improved night mode algorithms.
The 12MP ultrawide-angle camera uses the battle-tested IMX363 sensor. Not only does this
camera offer autofocus (which is rare enough for ultra wides), but it’s Dual Pixel AF to boot. Also,
the sensor is capable of 4K video recording, which is used for the HyperSteady Video mode (the
wider FoV allows for much better stabilization without the video looking too cropped in). This
camera also doubles as a macro shooter, the AF system TIP UScan887K

You can expect stellar selfies from the Zenfone 7 duo in no small part thanks to the large 1/1.72”

sensor plus dual LED flash. There are still
flagships out there that don’t have
autofocus on their
front cams, never mind the option to record 8K/30 and 4K/120 selfie videos. The ultrawide sensor
can be fully utilized for selfies as well.
This year Asus hugely improved the display as well. The Zenfone 7s use a Samsung-made
AMOLED panel, 6.67” in size and guarded by Gorilla Glass 6. It has 1080p+ resolution (20:9), a
peak brightness of 1,000 nits, DC dimming for flicker-free low-brightness operation, plus Always
On mode, 110% DCI-P3 coverage and an accurate color calibration out of the box.
The screen has a 90Hz refresh rate and 200Hz touch sampling rate. Combined with the S865+
chipset on the Pro model, this can a fairly capable gaming phone, if you want it to be. The vanilla
model is no slouch either, it’s powered by a non-plus Snapdragon 865.
In both cases you get LPDDR5 RAM up to 8 GB (the vanilla starts at 6 GB). Storage is UFS 3.1,
128 GB for the vanilla model and 256 GB for the Pro. Both have triple card slots, two SIMs and a
dedicated spot for a microSD. This is a 5G phone, if it wasn’t clear from the chipset.
Asus Zenfone 7
The final major improvement from last year is the 30W fast charging support for the 5,000 mAh
battery. 34 minutes of charging gets you from completely drained to 60%. In comparison, the
Zenfone 6 (18W charging) needed 57 minutes to accomplish the same.
The phone has the same advanced charging controls as its ROG sibling. You can limit the
maximum charge to 80% or 90% and set a charging schedule so it goes slowly during the night,
reaching max charge in the morning.
The Zenfone 7 duo is sturdy with a series 6000 aluminum body, sandwiched between two layers
of glass. There's GG6 on the front and GG3 on the back – Corning’s most scratch-resistant glass,
according to Asus. The phones are pretty hefty, however, tipping the scales at 230 g.
Interestingly, despite having an OLED display, the phones have a side-mounted fingerprint
reader. Some would say that this is an advantage. Unfortunately, the 3.5 mm headphone jack was
axed, but you do get aptX Adaptive support.

The Asus Active Case serves to protect the phone and its flip up camera. There’s a latch that will
lock the flip mechanism in place (the phone detects that, so it won’t try to open until you release
the switch). This case comes in the retail box.
The Asus Zenfone 7 and 7 Pro will be released globally on September 1. The vanilla model costs
NT$21,990 in its debut Taiwan market with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB storage, which equals
€635/$750. The Pro is NT$27,990 (€800, $950) for an 8/256 GB unit. Global pricing will be
confirmed later next week.
They may not be as cheap as we were hoping (the Zenfone 6 started at €500 last year), but if you
want near-stock Android, a high refresh rate AMOLED display, S865(+), a capable camera and
fast charging, there really aren’t that many options. The Pixels will miss out on the chipset and
charging, the OnePlus Pros don’t have expandable storage and cost even more.

Search Hopefully Asus has got it right this time
because when the ZF6 released there was so many
supply issues in UK. UK didn't get the phone in stock until 4 months after the global release.

The problem is that the Poco lacks a dual selfie camera compared to his counterparts Realme X3

Between holes in the display, low resolution sensors, curved edge display, removed jack and
other stupidities they cameup with nowadays, it is rare to find a phone that make all the checks.
But there is the Poco F2 Pro with his 4,7Ah battery and it...
