2020 is the year of punch hole cameras on smartphones, but one company is sticking to flip cameras which are obviously great for taking selfies. According to Asus, people really like the flip camera on last year's Zenfone 6 so much that it decided to keep this unique feature for its new 5g flagship model, The Zenfone 7 pro. Well let's take a closer look.
Another notable but less obvious upgrade on the flip camera is its moving mechanism. The new stepper motor is 40% smaller yet it outputs over twice as much torque. It also has a new gearbox and a new angle sensor to allow more precise movement with each 2 degree step reduced to just 0.5 degrees. The new motor is also twice as durable. It can handle 200,000 continuous slips which equates to over 5 years of usage even if you flip 100 times per day and like before if you drop the phone while taking a selfie the flip camera will automatically retract during the fall. Just make sure you don't drop the phone into water because it's not waterproof due to its flip camera design.
The Zenfone 7 pro comes with some enhanced camera features as well. You can now control the focus point and exposure point independently. Just long press the viewfinder area to toggle this feature. Much like the pro camera mode, there's now a pro video mode as well which lets you tinker with things like iso, white balance, manual focus, shutter speed and exposure compensation. You can even play with directional audio capture or audio zoom, thanks to the new third microphone. The flip camera functions have also been upgraded. The motion tracking feature is now able to digitally zoom into your subject as it moves around all away from the phone. So you get more flexibility on top of the 180 degree rotation. As for the auto panorama mode, the general quality is apparently much better than before and you can now select the ultra wide camera as well for wider panorama shots. Another notable feature on this Zenfone 7 pro is the new all in one smart key. This combines the fingerprint reader, the power button and the old dedicated smart key into a single physical key. I think this is quite cunning as it finally gives us the option to unlock the phone and launch any app simultaneously with just a double tap. Very convenient indeed.
As you might have guessed, the Zenfone 7 pro is powered by Qualcomm's powerful snapdragon 865 plus processor and it comes with 8 gigabytes of RAM, 256 gigabytes of storage, Micro-SD expansion and Dual SIM slots. The full HD plus screen is now of Amoled nature instead of LCD and it has a slicker 90hz refresh rate which to be honest should be the bare minimum on a 2020 flashing phone. As for the battery, it's still a 5000 mAh cell which is plentiful and with the new 30 watt adapter you get a 60% charge in just 34 minutes.
The Zenfone 7 pro is already available for pre-ordering in Taiwan, starting from around $950. There's also a cheaper Zenfone 7 which is almost identical except for its earlier snapdragon 865 processor, Smaller RAM and storage and the missing optical stabilization on its cameras. This starts from around $750, so it's 200 cheaper. Unfortunately Asus has already confirmed that this Zenfone 7 series won't be heading to north America simply because the phones lack most of the US 5g bands but if you happen to be in europe stay tuned for a local launch as early as September 1st. Do you think Asus is doing the right thing by sticking to the flip camera? Let us know in the comments.
