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.
