Though what we know so far is that the company will announce the Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom at CES 2017, a mid-range device that is said to feature a Snapdragon 625 processor bundled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of built-in storage. Besides, the phone is expected to come with a 5.5-inch Full HD display and run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out-of-the-box. Also, the ZenFone 3 Zoom is said to get fueled by a 4850mAh battery.
Meanwhile, even mobile chipset manufacturer Qualcomm has teased its upcoming Snapdragon 835 processor that’ll be showcased at Consumer Electronics Shows (CES) 2017, which kicks-off on January 5 in Las Vegas.
The processor is said to be much more powerful than its previous iterations. Besides, it could be more compact, and more efficient at power management than its predecessors. Qualcomm has already revealed that Snapdragon 835 will be built around Samsung’s 10nm FinFET process technology, which clearly suggests it’ll be much smaller, allowing smartphones to pack bigger batteries. Qualcomm’s own tweets indicates we can expect better battery performance along with improved camera support as well.
