    The company claims that the phones can survive a 100,000 more flips than the Zenfone 6. If you can recall, the Zenfone 6 claims to survive 100,000 flips but the Zenfone 7 will survive 200,000 camera flips.

    Despite the fact that you can also now manually select specific angles you want the cameras to flip to, Asus said it would take flipping the cameras 100 times a day for five years to wear it out.

    By tapping a button, you will have magical triple camera sensors flipping from the back of the phone to the front, allowing you to take selfie shots as you do with the rear camera. Which means, there is no notch and no camera hole.

    Both phones come with a 64-megapixel wide-angle camera as the main lens, supported by a Sony IMX363 12-megapixel ultrawide camera sensor with a 113-degree field of view, autofocus, Dual Pixel AF, 4cm macro shooter, and capable of 4K video recording.

    It is used for the HyperSteady Video mode. Lastly, there is the 8-megapixel telephoto camera with an 80mm lens, a 3x optical zoom (ultrawide selfie camera).

    Although, the company added OIS (optical image stabilization) to the wide-angle and telephoto cameras on the Zenfone 7 Pro. ASUS boasted that once open, it can withstand 35kg of weight pushing it forward. Indirectly, if you want it to break, you really have to lean on it.

    While settled on either back or front, the main 64MP Sony IMX686 sensor with 2×1 OCL autofocus can record 8K videos at 30 fps and do 120 fps slow motion at 4K. There’s an HDR video mode as well as improved night mode algorithms.

    However, the cameras aren’t the only striking amusement here, neither is it the only upgrades from the predecessor. Asus also did a great job on the screen display, as a Samsung-made AMOLED panel was used on both phones.
