Asus is
gearing up for the launch of its new Zenfone 3-series on May 30. Ahead of the
launch, Asus has already revealed a lot of details about its Zenfone 3
portfolio. One of the important things that we know before hand is that the new
Asus smartphones will not run on Intel processors but will be powered by
Qualcomm Snapdragon and MediaTek processors instead. The recent teaser revealed
that Asus will be launching three new Zenfone 3 models. Now, photos of the new
smartphones have been leaked, giving us a rough idea about the design and
features of the new Asus portfolio.
New
leaked images of the Asus Zenfone 3 smartphones aren’t clear
like the press renders that leaked last week, but they offer a glimpse at how
the smartphones could look like. According to a site called ASUSClub, the Asus
Zenfone 3 Max will come with a 5.9-inch full HD display and will have slightly
tweaked design compared to other smartphones in the Zenfone 3 series. The
report also says that the rear camera on the Zenfone 3 will be mounted at the
top left of the back panel whereas other accompanying Zenfone 3 smartphones
will have the camera set up on the top center on the back panel.
Other
rumored features include a 23-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel
front-facing unit. All the smartphones will come with ZenUI 3 based on Android
6.0.1 Marshmallow. Also, rumors suggest that the top models of the Zenfone 3
will come with fingerprint scanner, a first for the Zenfone series. Last round
of rumors have confirmed that there will be a Deluxe model as well. The Deluxe
is the highest end variant in the current Zenfone 2 series.
Right
now, it’s not very clear how Asus plans to go about with its Zenfone 3
series. But looking at the recent rumors, Asus will continue with the strategy
of multiple variants of a single device with subtle changes, though it is very
confusing for everyone.
