Asus ZenFone 5's beefed up specs show up in benchmark

Asus is readying its new ZenFone smartphones, which will be revealed on February 27 at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018. We've already learned a few things about some of the devices that Asus plans to introduce later this month, including what some of them look like.

A live picture allegedly showing the front side of the Asus ZenFone 5, which seems to be the company's upcoming flagship, leaked online. Now we have more information on what's under the hood thanks to AnTuTu, a benchmarking tool used to test the performance of phones and other devices.

If the information provided by AnTuTu is correct, we can expect Asus' new flagship to boast a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor inside, coupled with no less than 6GB RAM. The amount of storage reported by the benchmarking tool is a bit disappointing if it's accurate – only 32GB internal memory.

Also, the phone's display features a rather unusual resolution (2,246 x 1080 pixels), which clearly suggests it will include a notch that will house the front camera, earpiece, and a few sensors.

We've already been invited to Asus' MWC 2018 press conference on February 27, so stay tuned for more information on the matter later this month.
