Asus Pegasus X005
Asus
is almost ready to launch a new member in its Pegasus line of affordable
smartphones, the X005. Before the official unveiling happens, the device has
been certified for sale in China by TENAA, the country's relevant regulatory authority.
As
usual, this process has resulted both in images of the phone becoming
available, as well as a pretty extensive list of its specs being outed.
While
in terms of naming the Pegasus X005 seems to be a successor for the Pegasus
X002, when it comes to its internals it basically seems to be a slightly
stripped down version of the Pegasus 2 Plus X550. On the other hand, the design
of the new phone is clearly different from both previous Pegasus-named
handsets.
The
Asus Pegasus X005 has a 5.5-inch 1080p touchscreen, a 13 MP rear camera with
LED flash, a 5 MP selfie shooter, a 1.3 GHz octa-core CPU, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of
expandable storage, 4G, dual-SIM functionality, and it runs Android 5.1
Lollipop with Zen UI on top. Its dimensions are 155 x 76.4 x 9 mm, and it
weighs 176.7 grams. It looks like it has a metal frame. It will be offered in three
color versions: blue, white, and gold.
