Asus Zenfone 4 Pro benchmark confirms Snapdragon 835 SoC, 6GB RAM

At least four new Asus smartphones will be announced on August 17, all part of the ZenFone series: ZenFone 4, ZenFone 4 Selfie, ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro and ZenFone 4 Max.

But there's a fifth smartphone that Asus may unveil along with the other four, the ZenFone 4 Pro, which may actually be the company's flagship for the rest of the year.

Unlike the standard ZenFone 4, the Pro version comes with a much better SoC (system-on-chip) and more RAM inside. Luckily, the phone appeared recently on GFXBench, your go to benchmarking portal, so we've been able to learn a couple of things about its specs.

For starters, Asus ZenFone 4 Pro comes equipped with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 835 processor, coupled with an Adreno 540 GPU (graphics processing unit) and no less than 6GB RAM.

On top of that, the smartphone will pack 64GB internal memory (hopefully expandable) and, possibly, a 12-megapixel dual-camera setup on the back. The readings from the benchmark app say the ZenFone 4 Pro will feature an 8-megapixel camera in the front and that the phone will run Android 7.1.1 Nougat.

And that's all we get so far from the ZenFone 4 Pro benchmark. However, a previous report highlights some other specs of the phone, like a 5.5-inch display with full HD (1080p) resolution and a 3,600 mAh battery. Also, the smartphone is rumored to cost just $650 outright, or €550 in Europe.
