The verdict, up front

Why the ZenFone 7 Pro stood out

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.
