Equipped with Snapdragon 865! ASUS plans to release two new mobile phones in July

As we all know, Qualcomm announced its new flagship chipset Snapdragon 865 at the Snapdragon Technology Summit in 2019. Since then, we have seen this chipset on many smartphones, including the OnePlus 8 series, OPPO Find X2 series, Xiaomi Mi 10 series, Realme X50 Pro, iQOO 3, etc.

In early February this year, Qualcomm also announced a list of smartphones using the Snapdragon 865 SoC, including the unreleased ASUS ROG Phone III (ASUS Gaming Phone 3) and ASUS ZenFone 7.

According to a new report from Taiwanese publication Commercial Times, the two phones will be launched around July this year.

The report states that the ZenFone 7 and ROG Phone III will launch in late Q2 or early Q3 2020, and Asus expects sales of its upcoming gaming smartphones to grow by 30-50%.

Although we don’t have any more specs information about the two phones yet, it’s worth noting that the ROG Phone III recently passed the WiFi Alliance’s certification process with model number I003DD.

Even though the certification doesn’t reveal any new information about the phone, the fact that Asus has gotten the phone certified means the company has already gone through the development process and will kick off mass production soon.

ROG Phone III is the successor to ROG Phone II, which revolutionized the gaming smartphone space with its flagship specifications and relatively affordable price.

In addition, as the new generation product of ZenFone 6 (or ASUS 6Z), ZenFone 7 adopts an innovative flip camera module.
