In May 2019, ASUS announced the ASUS ZenFone 6 flagship phone with a slide-out rear camera. Due to a legal issue, the handset had arrived in India as ASUS 6z. The sequel for the ZenFone 6 is yet to go official. A mysterious ASUS phone has appeared on Geekbench benchmarks. It seems to be the upcoming ASUS ZenFone 7 or ASUS 7z.
The ‘asus ZF’ has appeared on Geekbench 5 with Snapdragon 865 that has a base frequency of 1.80GHz. The SoC is mentioned with ‘Kona’ codename. The smartphone is loaded with Android 10 OS. It is only because the device is labeled as ‘ZF’ on Geekbench, it is being dubbed as an SD865 powered ZenFone model.
What is interesting about the listing is that the device is equipped with 16 GB of RAM. The amount of RAM on the device indicates that it will be capable at delivering monstrous performance. In the single-core test of Geekbench 5, it scored 975. It recorded a score of 3346 in the multi-core test.
Nothing else is known on the specifications of the smartphone. The ASUS 7z and ROG Phone 3 gaming smartphone will be arriving as the first 5G-ready phones from the Taiwanese manufacturer. The ROG Phone 3 will be debuting in July. It is unclear whether the ZenFone 7 will go official alongside the company’s next gaming phone.
The ROG Phone 3 has already appeared on TENAA with full specs ahead of launch. It has a 6.59-inch AMOLED display and is said to arrive with the unannounced Snapdragon 865+ SoC. It could be coming with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512 GB of native storage. The handset is said to be equipped with a 6,000mAh battery with 30W fast charging support.
