Asus X00GB with 4850mAh battery and Android 7.0 Nougat has passed through TENAA. The new phone is expected to be showcased during CES 2017. According to reports, the newly surfaced Asus X00GB looks similar to that of Xiaomi Redmi 3S. Moreover, the phone will be available in Luxury Gold, Rose Gold and Black color variants.
If you inspect the renders posted on the TENAA site, you can be able to view a front-facing camera sensor located on the top with a physical home button.
On the rear, you will be able to view the sensor on the top left side with conventional Asus logo towards the middle.
Meanwhile, the volume rocker and power button are placed on the right side as you can see from the below image sourced from TENAA.
Asus X00GB is expected to feature a 5.2-inch HD display with 2.5D glass metal body design, Snapdragon processor with up to 4GB RAM. The processor will be capable of running at a clock speed of 1.5GHz. The TENAA listing reveals that the new phone will be available in 2GB, 3GB and 4GB RAM variants with 16GB, 32GB and 64GB internal storage variants.
While the rear camera will feature a 13MP sensor, the front-facing snapper will be infused with an 8MP sensor. Based on the listing from TENAA, the Asus X00GB is expected to hit retail shelves with Android 7.0 Nougat. Furthermore, you can expect a fingerprint scanner integrated into the physical home button. The main attraction of the rumored Asus X00GB is the addition of a massive 4850mAh battery.
While breaking the news, Phonearena disclosed that the rumored handset should be ZenFone 4. However, we expect the new phone to be a higher variant to the ZenFone 4 series since the company has already released ZenFone 4 in 2014. Due to the large battery, you can expect the new handset to be named as ZenFine 4 Max. That being said, the ZenFone 3 didn’t impress customers in 2016 because of high pricing.
In December 2016, a dual-camera Asus smartphone slipped through the TENAA certification. Asus is participating in the CES 2017. We can expect that the new smartphone will be showcased during the event. The launch seems imminent since the specifications are leaked on the TENAA.
