Asus Zenfone 3 Laser and Zenfone 3 Max
Asus Zenfone 3 family has become
even bigger, welcoming two new members. Following the introduction of the
Zenfone 3, Zenfone 3 Deluxe, and Zenfone 3 Ultra from May, the Zenfone 3 Laser
and Zenfone 3 Max are now official too.
They have been announced at a special
event in Vietnam, and for now all we have are the pictures shot at that
conference since Asus hasn't provided any official renders of the new models.
The Zenfone 3 Laser is supposedly the
successor to the Zenfone 2 Laser, as its name implies. It comes with ultra fast
0.03s second-generation laser autofocus system for its 13 MP PixelMaster 3.0
camera that uses the Sony IMX214 sensor. The camera features electronic image
stabilization too, and a color correction sensor.
The phone also has a metal body, a
5.5-inch 1080p touchscreen with 2.5D glass on top, 4 GB of RAM, 32 GB of built-in
storage, a fingerprint sensor, and 7.9 mm thickness. In Vietnam, it will cost
VND 5,990,000, which is about US$ 268 or € 241 at the current exchange rates.
The Zenfone 3 Max features a 4,100 mAh
battery, which is huge but still a step down from the original Zenfone Max's
5,000 mAh cell. It too boasts a metal body, as well as a 5.2-inch IPS LCD
touchscreen, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage, and a quick fingerprint scanner. It
will cost VND 4,490,000 (US$ 201, € 181).
That's all the information we have for
now, hopefully Asus will soon decide to share full spec details of these two
phones - along with when we might see them in stores outside of Vietnam.
