Asus ZenFone 7 launch date has officially been revealed. The device is all set to be unveiled on August 26 in its home market, Taiwan. The Asus ZenFone 7 will be the successor of the Asus ZenFone 6 launched in 2019. The Asus ZenFone 6 was later launched in the Indian market as the Asus 6Z.

The company has published a live stream video on YouTube announcing the launch of the Asus ZenFone 7. The live stream video reveals little information about the device, focusing more on the launch event details, which is set to begin at 2pm local time, or 11.30am in India. The static video does however hint at a quad camera setup at the back, aligned in a straight line.

Qualcomm has already confirmed that the Asus ZenFone 7 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC, whereas the rumoured Asus ZenFone 7 Pro model is tipped to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ SoC. A Geekbench leak in the past suggests the phone may pack 16GB of RAM, though other modest options may be offered as well.
