The Zenfone 6 will have a 5,000mAh battery, a good deal larger than the 3,700mAh battery of the OnePlus 7.

It read and opens. Faster than picking up the phone from the table to read your print on the rear.

    I have had phone and tablet with the wireless charging and it was comfortable but not a feature i cant live without. OnePlus was great at when it come out as a killer. Now it's just another brand name that ask more then delivers.

                    3700 Mah battery is also a huge con. And the additional 100 euro - too.

The oneplus 7 pro is water resistant enough to go underwater for 30 minutes as shown in Matthew Moniz video.
                      So the only thing the 7 pro is really lacking is headphone jack and microsd. And most flagships also lack those feature. So when you think about the only flagship feature the 7 pro lacks is wireless charging.

                        No SD card slot, no wireless charging, no headphone jack, no water resistance, underwhelming camera... It's quite easy to poke at OnePlus right now, considering how much money they drowned in advertising.

                        Still, I don't expect Zenfone 6 to be a major opponent to OP7... That will probably be Redmi Pro 2.

                          Not sure if that camera mechanism can retreat enough fast against a drop like the OnePlus 7 Pro, so if they can't achieve it tomorrow at the release event. OnePlus will sure answer joking and will criticize that system about the null protection Asus have for its cameras.

                          One problem i see is that the camera rotating module is big and without any rear protection, even with the cases i already show... A single small accident could damage the rotating mechanism. Seems fragile and the last thing you would desire is manage with the terrible Asus customer services, despite the almost null support updates after purchase the product less with luck a big one.

                          Now i understand the ugly cases with a huge hole... And sad watch that mechanism for the camera as with the old rear fingerprint sensor you can't use face unlock when you have the phone on the table.

                            Please add stock Android, OLED and i am done:)

                              ASUS & Lenovo are on a roll. Both their flagship series are continuously impressing with great value & features. Gotta love the smartphone space right now.

                                Very reasonable price and monster specs. I'd never consider a Top-brand flagship, because they are more crippled than a mid-range device, but this is a flagship i'd buy in a heartbeat if there's nothing wrong with it in real life (Software, reception, things like that).

                                    innovative, I like the way the position the selife cam, making it flipped rear cam and its a good design. I hope this will be at a reasonable price. looking forward tomorrow's announcement.
