ASUS Zenfone 8 series is expected to be launched on May 12 in China. The series is primed as a compact flagship and according to rumors, includes a Zenfone 8 Mini variant. Ahead of the launch, the key specs of the Zenfone 8 Mini have leaked on Twitter, thanks to tipster Mukul Sharma. The leak basically confirms some of the specs that have leaked in the past.
The tipster revealed the Zenfone 8 Mini
will pack a 5.9-inch Samsung E4 AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution. The
display also supports a 120Hz refresh rate and the Under-display fingerprint
scanner. There is equally a Gorilla Glass Victus protection onboard. The
dimension of the device is given as 148 x 68.5 x 8.9mm and it weighs just 169g.
According to the leak, the Mini will be
powered by the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor paired with up to
16GB RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 flash storage. The phone will get its power supply
from a 4000mAh battery with support for 30W fast charging.
For photography, there will be a 64MP Sony
IMX686 main sensor onboard. Earlier leaks point to triple camera sensors and
these include a 12MP wide-angle camera and a macro sensor. The device will also
have a selfie camera and won’t be using the pop-up camera mechanism that
heralded the Zenfone 7 series.
The tipster also revealed that the ASUS
Zenfone 8 Mini will come with three microphones as well as OZO audio. These
details align with previous leaks but we’ll still have to wait until the launch
which is just a few days away, for some confirmation.
