Asus accidentally spilled the beans about four impending ZenFone 4 models comprising the ZenFone 4 Max, the Pro version, ZenFone 4 Selfie, and the ZenFone 4. The flagship smartphone was spotted on benchmark site GFXBench on Sunday, giving enthusiasts a brief glimpse of some of the phone's specifications. Let us take a gander at the details.
Specifications and features
According to a report from PhoneArena, the device will sport a 5.5-inch display with 1080 x 1920p resolution. The device will be powered by an octa-core CPU with a clock speed of 2.2GHz.
It packs the Adreno 508 GPU, which implies it is the SD630 SoC under the hood.
Another report from AndroidHeadlines suggests the specifications are for the U.S. model of the smartphone, which is hardly surprising given the SD835 processor as quite a few U.S. based leading flagships will be adopting this chip in 2017. In other words, the company could resort to using a different processor for the international model.
The listing further indicates the ZenFone 4 will boast 4GB of RAM coupled with 64GB of internal storage. On the photography front, there is a single 12MP camera spotted on the GFXBench listing; however, there's hearsay about a dual camera setup comprising 12MP and 8MP cameras for the handset.
There will be an 8MP front shooter for video chats and selfies.
Moreover, It will come running on Android 7.1.1 out of the box. In terms of connectivity, the device will feature Wi-Fi 802.11ac, NFC, and Bluetooth 4.2.
Price and other speculations
Aside from the details revealed via the GFXBench listing, the internet is brimming with all sorts of reports about the ZenFone 4.
Multiple sources suggest the device will be backed by a robust 3300mAh battery. On top of that, there will be a 1TB capacity microSD slot that will let users expand the storage size if required.
The Taiwanese handset maker is gearing up to unveil its brand new ZenFone 4 models on Thursday, August 17. The 4GB RAM variant is expected to come bearing a price tag of €499, which converts roughly to about $590.
The pro version of the phone is expected to see a price hike of about €50 (about $59) or €100 (about $118).
It also remains to be seen what colors the handsets will come in, and their availability when it comes to carriers is also unclear at this point. AndroidHeadlines guesses that the device might be launched unlocked, meaning Asus Zenfone fans looking to get their hands on the device will have to buy it online.
