ASUS Zenfone 6 Visits Geekbench with Snapdragon 855 SoC, 6GB RAM As Launch Date Nears

Taiwanese PC hardware and smartphone maker ASUS is expected to launch its flagship ZenFone 6 smartphone on May 16. Ahead of its formal debut, the smartphone has made an appearance on the Geekbench benchmark database.

ASUS ZenFone 6 to Feature a 7nm Snapdragon 855 SoC

The ASUS I01WD listing on Geekbench confirms the upcoming flagship Android smartphone will be running on the latest Snapdragon 855 octa-core processor from Qualcomm. In terms of memory, the variant caught on Geekbench has 6GB of RAM. Moving on to the benchmarking performance, ASUS’ next flagship smartphone scored 3,527 points in the single-core test and 11,190 points in the multi-core test. Both the scores are roughly on par with other flagship smartphones powered by the same chipset. As you would expect, the device is currently being tested on the Android 9.0 Pie OS.

It should be noted that the same I01WD variant of the ASUS ZenFone 6 was certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance last week. The certification confirmed support for Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac dual-band and Android 9.0 Pie operating system. In addition to the flagship ZenFone 6 model powered by the Snapdragon 855 chipset, ASUS is expected to launch a few other ZenFone 6 series smartphones as well at its launch event in Valencia, Spain on May 16.

Rumors suggest the ASUS ZenFone 6 may come with a bezel-less display with no notch or a punch-hole camera cutout. If the rumors are indeed accurate, the ZenFone 6 could feature a pop-up selfie camera similar to the Vivo V15 Pro and OPPO F11 Pro. Earlier leaks, however, hinted at an off-center display notch and a triple-camera setup at the rear. The Snapdragon 855-powered ZenFone 6 will succeed the ZenFone 5Z (review), which still remains among the most popular smartphones in the Indian market below INR 30,000. We expect the flagship ZenFone 6 model to arrive in India soon after its global debut in Spain next month.
