Asus Zenfone 7 design renders and key specifications detailed in multiple leaks

Asus Zenfone 7 series has leaked yet again, just days ahead of its official launch on August 26. The Zenfone 7 and Zenfone 7 Pro have been the centre of the rumour mill from quite some time now, with key specifications and even details on pricing leaked earlier this month. Today, details about the Zenfone 7 have been posted online in multiple leaks that give us a look at the design renders of the new phone by Asus.

The new leaks were posted online on Slashleaks including a picture of the retail box that reveals key specifications and renders of a transparent case for the Zenfone 7. These new details corroborated with our earlier report on the specifications of the Zenfone 7. The box reveals that the Zenfone 7 features a 6.67-inch Full HD+ display and is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor with a triple camera setup consisting of a primary 64MP camera, a 12MP secondary camera and an 8MP camera. The phone will come in multiple variants but the box details this variant as the one with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. 

Another leak reveals the Zenfone 7’s transparent case and we can see that there are three cameras housed in the Flip camera mechanism. It can also be noted here that the Zenfone 7 is looking to feature a side-mounted fingerprint sensor as opposed to the rumoured in-display sensor. As per an earlier leak, the Zenfone 7 was spotted using a Goodix gf3626 sensor which was expected to be a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. 

It is also rumoured that the Zenfone 7 could feature a 60Hz display panel and it is the Zenfone 7 Pro that gets a high refresh-rate screen instead. Moreover, the retail packaging of the upcoming phone was also leaked online and posted on Twitter alongside a picture showcasing the back panel of the Zenfone 7.

— 戴哥8888 (@daige8888) August 22, 2020 Asus Zenfone 7 leaked specifications and pricing

Asus Zenfone 7 is slated to feature a 6.7-inch LCD screen with a Full HD+ (2340 x 1080 pixels) resolution and 60Hz refresh rate. The Zenfone 7 will also come with a dedicated microSD card slot allowing users to expand the storage further. It is expected to come with a triple camera setup, housed in a flip camera module. The main camera, according to the leak is a 64MP Sony IMX686 followed by a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera and an 8MP camera

The latest Zenfone 7 leak also corroborates some earlier rumours that the Zenfone 7 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset while the Zenfone 7 Pro is expected to come with the Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset paired with up to 16GB RAM. The rumoured pricing of the phone pits at EUR 499 for the base variant with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage and EUR 549 for the maxed-out variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.

This roughly translates to a starting price of around Rs 44,000 by direct conversion. Considering that the Asus 6Z was launched in India starting at Rs 31,999, we expect the company to go aggressive with the pricing of the Zenfone 7/Asus 7Z in India. However, there’s currently no word as to when the Zenfone 7 will launch in India.

Matt Reeves The Batman Trailer Is Out Now

American filmmaker, Matt Reeves has finally debuted the first official teaser trailer for The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, at DC Fandome. Earlier this year, production on the film had to be halted, owing to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. So, the trailer that you see below has been put together using the 25 to 30 percent of the stuff that was filmed during that short period.

The trailer immediately gives off an R-Rated, psychological crime-thriller vibe, with Paul Dano as The Riddler setting up a dead body and a set of clues for the Batman to follow. The body, presumed to be of the mayor of Gotham, has his faced covered with duct tape and a text in red which says, “NO MORE LIES”. After which, we are introduced to Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon and the Gotham City Police Department, as they venture into the deeply disturbing crime scene. Set in the universe of Year-2 Batman, it looks like the Dark Knight and the Commissioner are on somewhat reasonable terms, as he steps into the vicinity showing off the grandeur, that is, the new sleek-looking Batsuit. We also get our first look at Robert Pattinson as the billionaire playboy philanthropist, Bruce Wayne, in the gothic backdrops of the corrupt and volatile city of Gotham. Selina Kyle played by Zoë Kravitz also shares a decent amount of screentime, flaunting her cat-like agility and reflexes, while attempting to rob a safe locker in the very crime scene. Collin Farell manages to capture the aura of the criminal mastermind, The Penguin, thanks to the fat suit and the prosthetics that shape his crooked image. Towards the end of the trailer, we also get an insight into the young, brash version of Batman, that we will be encountering in this film, as he takes on a bunch of goons in a rather brutal and ghastly beatdown. Which is then followed up by the deep, husky baritone uttering the words, “I’m Vengeance.” The trailer also features some glamour shots of the all-new, vintage-looking Batmobile firing up and an array of mind-blowing action sequences, that seems to have been picked up straight from the comic books.

Matt Reeves’ The Batman is currently under production and will be out sometime in 2021 (speculated release date - 1 October 2021). At the event, the director also shared some new information on the upcoming Batman spin-off drama series, focussed around the corruption, within the confines of the GCPD. Set to debut on the new streaming platform, HBO Max, the series will be a prequel to his aforementioned, The Batman movie. And will be set in Year-1 of the first establishment of the masked vigilante.

Earlier this month, we had reported on an upcoming Robert Pattinson starring Netflix psychological thriller - The Devil All The Time, of which you can check out further details here. The entirety of the Batman trailer features a dark and gloomy song from Nirvana called “Something In The Way”, which you can check out below if you are interested.

PUBG Mobile to introduce New Era: Heres how to watch the announcement live

PUBG Mobile will be announcing something pretty big today. The company says that it will be introducing a “New Era” for the game. The announcement is scheduled for August 24, 1330UTC, which is 7:00OM IST today and will be streamed live on Facebook and YouTube. Details of the announcement have not yet been revealed, but it's safe to assume that it should include Erangle 2.0, which was released in the beta version of the game a few weeks back.

 

We humbly request your presence as we announce a New Era for PUBG MOBILE! Join us on August 24th for an AWESOME announcement on YouTube and Facebook! #pubgmnewera #neweraannouncement https://t.co/O5Q4sryFFg pic.twitter.com/jvA64TsrCN

— PUBG MOBILE (@PUBGMOBILE) August 21, 2020

 

It should be noted that the Erangel 2.0 update also finally updated the same to v1.0.0, which should also suggest that the game is finally considered to be a finished product by the developers. So expect a host of other announcements as well as other wholesale changes to the game. PUBG Mobile announced Erangel 2.0 back in July last year and since then the map has been stuck in development. Since then, the developers launched Miramar 2.0, but Erangel 2.0 was still missing. Now though, it looks like PUBG Mobile players will finally get to experience Erangel 2.0. 

Of course, PUBG Mobile won’t be the only mobile game to undergo major changes this month. Call of Duty: Mobile recently got the Season 9 Conquest update and with it came a slew of changes. Most notable was a complete overhaul of weapon customisation. Unlike the previous version where players usually ended up with multiple versions of the same weapon, each at different levels, the new Gunsmith addition streamlined the whole thing by offering only base weapons, and every different variant being camos or blueprints. So players only levelled up a base weapon as a whole. Not only that, but it also added multiple weapon attachments as well as various other aesthetic attachments like stickers and charms. It also increased the loadout count from five to ten. You can learn more about Gunsmith here.
