Design and Display
We have got pretty the same smartphone in reference to chassis design. Both the Zenfone 7 and Zenfone 7 Pro bear the same chassis design, which is an iteration of what we had on the Asus Zenfone 6.
It also retains the same build, it features gorilla glass 6 upfront, gorilla glass 3 on the rear and aluminium on the frame. The downside is that it does offer resistance for water and dust, which is something the Oneplus 8 pro offers, for about the same price range.
Moving on to the display, was have the same setup coming from the less premium sibling, its a 6.67 inch Super AMOLED display with a screen resolution.
This display maintains a clean slate, bordered by thin bezels, which is all thanks to the filp-out camera module, which eliminates the need for a punch hole or a notch.
Much like its less premium sibling, the Zenfone 7 pro also features the upgraded swivelling flip-out camera, which is now rated for 200,000 flips or 100 flips daily in lieu to the 100,000 flips we got on previous generations.

It’s a triple camera system piloted by a 64MP primary camera with an aperture of f/1.8. The other members of the trio include an 8MP telephoto camera with an aperture of f/2.4 and a 12MP ultrawide camera with an aperture of f/2.2.
This camera setup is capable of shooting 8k videos @ 30fps, 4k videos @30/60/120fps, 1080p videos 1080p@30/60/240fps, you also get 720p video recording @480fps.
The fact that this camera setup is hinged on a swivel flip-out camera mechanism, means that it serves it the purpose of a selfie camera, as well as a rear camera.
Hardware and Software
As mentioned in the introductory paragraph, the Asus Zenfone 7 Pro features a more powerful processor when compared to the standard Zenfone 7.
That processor is the Snapdragon 865 plus processor, which is 10% faster than the regular Snapdragon 865 processor on the Zenefone. You also get a bigger 256GB internal storage, in lieu of the 128GB storage on the former.
All other specs aside the aforementioned are the same. Its the same Adreno 650 GPU, non-removable 5000 mAh battery and a 33W fast mechanism. However please note the 6GB RAM variant was killed, so enthusiasts have the option for only 8GB RAM.
On the software side, we have got the same ZenUI 7 interface running on the Android 10 operating system.
