ASUS ZenFone 7 and ZenFone 7 Pro: At a glance
The ASUS ZenFone 7 and ZenFone 7 Pro feature a notch-less, bezel-less all-screen design achieved by adopting a rotating camera module that automatically flips to serve as a selfie snapper. Both the handsets sport a 6.67-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2340 pixels) AMOLED screen with an aspect ratio of 20:9, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for secure biometric authentication.
For the shutterbugs and selfie lovers
Both the ZenFone 7 and 7 Pro offer a triple rear camera setup comprising a 64MP (f/1.8) primary sensor, an 8MP (f/2.4, 3x optical zoom) telephoto lens, and a 12MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide camera. This camera setup automatically flips to serve as a front camera.
