Asus ZenFone 7 Pro: Flip-camera flagship with Snapdragon 865+ and dual stereo speakers.

SpecEagle Editorial·Sep 2020·$799·Score 83/100

Asus kept the flip-camera mechanism through the ZenFone 6 and 7 even as every other phone-maker had moved to under-display selfies — the result was that the ZenFone 7 Pro shot 64 MP selfies with OIS, a feature no front camera in 2020 could match.
