This is a rather original project on which Asus and Qualcomm worked.The two manufacturers have indeed joined forces to design a smartphone offering the best on the market.

This “Qualcomm Phone” - or officially Qualcomm Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders - thus adopts very high -end characteristics, among which we will obviously find a Snapdragon 888 chip, but also 16 GB of RAM LPDDR5 and 256 of UFS 3 storage.1.For the battery, a 4000 mAh accumulator was integrated, compatible with Quick Charge 5.0 and a power up to 65 W.On the other hand, Asus and Qualcomm ignore the wireless load.

A screen with a 144 Hz refreshment rate

Regarding the screen, the smartphone benefits from an AMOLED slab with a QHD+ definition of 6.78 inch and, above all, a refresh rate of 144 Hz.On the sound side, the device is obviously compatible with the Snapdragon Sound label launched last March by Qualcomm. Il est d’ailleurs fourni avec une paire d’écouteurs sans fil Master & Dynamic MW08.

Connectivity has not been forgotten either, since the phone is obviously compatible Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6th, but also with all 5G frequencies, both the bands less than 6 GHz and the millimeter waves.The smartphone thus supports flows of up to 7.5 gbps.

Three cameras at the back

Finally, for the photo, the phone has a module with three cameras on the back: a 64 megapixel Sony IMX686 (F/1.8), an ultra-wide Sony IMX363 device from 12 megapixels (F/2.2) and a telephoto teleco with an X3 optical zoom accompanied by an 8 megapixel photo sensor.For selfies, a 24 megapixel sensor has been integrated into the upper edge of the screen.There is indeed any question here of notch or punch to integrate the front camera.

The Asus and Qualcomm smartphone, however, makes some compromise compared to high -end models of 2021 from Samsung, Xiaomi or Oppo.As we have seen, the screen does not occupy the entire front and is accompanied by edges at the top and bottom.Nor is it curved on the edges.Absent notable, the new Snapdragon 888+ is here replaced by the old generation, the Snapdragon 888 very short.Above all, we will find the fingerprint reader not under the screen, but on the back.

The smartphone developed by Qualcomm and Asus will only be available to Internet users registered in the Snapdragon Insider program of Qualcomm.At first, it will only be available in the United States, China, Great Britain and Germany, at a price of 1499 dollars.No price in euros has yet been announced.
