Not long ago, Asus introduced its latest gaming smartphone, the ROG Phone 8, and now the Taiwanese company might have more time to review its Zenfone series. Contrary to earlier rumors that Asus would cancel the lineup, the next-gen Zenfone 11 has surfaced online. According to 91Mobiles, the Asus Zenfone 11 has surfaced in the Google Play Console database, showing off some of the specifications and design of the upcoming smartphone. The Zenfone 11 looks quite similar to its predecessor, the Zenfone 10, except that this time the selfie camera is positioned in the center of the screen, and not on the side.
The database also shows that the Zenfone 11 will come with 16GB of RAM and Android 14 out of the box. Although the screen resolution may fall in line with its predecessor (FHD+ at 2400 x 1080), the screen size remains unclear: whether it will retain the existing size of 5.9 inches or expand. there will be a potential increase.
The most intriguing yet confusing aspect of the leaked specs is the confirmation that the Zenfone 11 will house the Qualcomm SM8650, the internal name of the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. However, at the same time, the listing shows that the GPU is not not the Adreno 750 found in Qualcomm's latest chipset but the Adreno 830, expected on the next Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
This must either be a mistake or Asus is planning to launch its next Zenfone after the release of the next-gen Snapdragon 8 chipset. Qualcomm usually releases its flagship chipset in the fall, while Asus chooses summer for its Zenfone series. So, either the latter will postpone the next launch of its phone until the fall, or the list could contain errors.
If indeed the Zenfone 11 integrates the next Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, it could position itself as one of the first smartphones to have this chipset. Shortly after the release of the Zenfone 10, rumors suggested that Asus had decided to stop manufacturing the series. However, they were denied by Taiwanese society.
