If the knowledge is appropriate, the cellphone will get a 6.3-inch AMOLED show with a 120Hz refresh price. There aren’t any render leaks to indicate what the cellphone will appear like this time round. Nevertheless, ASUS is anticipated to stay with a couple of staples from earlier generations of Zenfones, comparable to an IP68 ranking and the three.5mm headphone jack.

Rumored Zenfone 10 specs embrace the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 cell platform. ASUS at all times makes use of Qualcomm’s top-tier SoCs on its flagships, so that is no shock.

We hear the cellphone will pack 16GB of RAM and 256/512GB of storage. Final 12 months’s Zenfone additionally had an 8GB RAM/128GB storage variant, which may be the case this 12 months. Nevertheless, storage on the Zenfone 9 topped out at 256GB, which suggests the Zenfone 10 may get a bump up this 12 months, a minimum of on the prime finish.

The earlier Zenfones have been marred by simply two years of Android upgrades and a measly two years of safety patches. So a greater replace deal would undoubtedly be probably the most welcoming upgrades ASUS has to supply.
