Asus Zenfone 6 vs OnePlus 7: Specs comparison of the newest Snapdragon 855 sporting flagships

Just a couple of days after the launch of OnePlus’ latest spec behemoth, Asus has decided to refresh its own flagship by announcing the ZenFone 6 .

Now, if you thought that the ZenFone 5z (review) was basically just a cheaper iPhone X clone, the new model is anything but! At least from a design perspective. Asus has gone ahead and eliminated the top bezel entirely with the addition of a motorised rotating camera.

While the design represents a shift for Asus from chasing the likes of Samsung and Apple, the company hasn’t bumped up the price of its flagship offering such as the OnePlus. The Zenfone 5z was priced to take on last year’s OnePlus 6 head on and we expect no different from Asus this time around either. OnePlus does throw in a seemingly superior Optic AMOLED display for the price, but apart from that and the difference in camera implementation, there’s very little in terms of internal firepower, that separates the Zenfone 6 from the OnePlus 7. Here is a quick comparison of the specs of the two latest mid-range flagships.

A plain look at the specs sheet reveals exactly why the Zenfone 6 appears more of a competitor for the OnePlus 7 rather than the OnePlus 7 Pro.

While we’ll have to wait on a verdict until we review the Asus Zenfone 6, it’ll definitely be interesting to see if its camera manages to hold its own against the OnePlus 7.
