Asus ZenFone 4 Pro, With Qualcomm Processing, Said to Send 4K Videos in Seconds

The Asus ZenFone 4 Pro, with gigabit LTE and 802.11ad multi-gigabit Wi-Fi, offers a peek into the 5G mobile experience, said Qualcomm Thursday, announcing that the phone is powered by its Snapdragon mobile platforms. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X16 modem is said to boost download speeds over 4G LTE and its TruSignal dual-antenna technology is said to extend coverage beyond current technologies. The 802.11ad Wi-Fi allows users to share 4K videos “in seconds,” and the ZenFone 4 Pro’s Wi-Fi hotspot provides end-to-end gigabit wireless connectivity with 802.11ad access and gigabit LTE backhaul on compatible networks even in crowded locations, Qualcomm said. The chipmaker's Spectra 180 image signal processor has dual 14-bit image signal processing, which along with its Adreno 540 graphics processing unit, enable 360-degree visual capture, it said.
