The ASUS ZenFone 8 series of smartphones could be launching soon. The reason behind is that the ZenFone 8 Mini which was recently spotted at the TÜV SÜD certification has now appeared at the Geekbench benchmarking site (via). It appears that the Taiwanese tech giant could be internally testing the phone’s performance before making it official.
Past reports have revealed that the ASUS ZenFone 8 Mini’s model number is ASUS_I006D / ASUS_ZS590KS. On Geekbench 5, the handset has appeared with Snapdragon 888 mobile platform. In the listing, the SoC is mentioned with ‘lahaina’ and a 1.80GHz base frequency. The smartphone scored 1121 and 3662 in the single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench, respectively.
Previous reports have revealed that the ZenFone 8 Mini will be sporting a 5.9-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate support. The camera setup of the phone will include a 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 camera and a new Sony IMX663 lens. It is unclear whether the device features dual lenses in its camera setup.
The ZenFone 8 Mini could be featuring a Cirrus CS3SL45 amplifier. While its battery size is not known yet, its TÜV SÜD certification revealed that it may carry support for 30W fast charging. The other details of the phone are yet to be revealed. Since it is packed with a 5.9-inch screen, the handset is likely to debut as the most compact flagship phone with an SD888 chip.
In related news, the ASUS ROG Phone 5 gaming phone is now up for pre-order through Flipkart in India. Its variants such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage are listed for Rs 49,999 (~$669) and Rs 57,999 (~$776), respectively.
