Asus Zenfone 3 ZE552KL and ZE520KL
The first of the countless Asus Zenfone
3 models are now available to purchase in Thailand. More specifically, the
Zenfone 3 ZE552KL and the ZE520KL models have been listed online.
The first one costs THB 14,900 (about US$ 425) and that gets you a 5.5-inch FullHD Super IPS+ display, Snapdragon 625
chipset and a 16 MP/8 MP camera combo. Mind you, that price tag is on the
top-specced version of that model (it's never easy with Asus' naming
convention), which packs 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage.
The Zenfone 3 ZE520KL, on the other
hand, is more affordable at THB 11,990 (US$ 345). You might want this one for more
than the price, it's more compact with its 5.2-inch display (same tech, same
resolution). Chipset and cameras are identical, but memory is not - the ZE520KL
has 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage.
The question that's most important to
the rest of us not in Thailand - when the Zenfone 3 is going to be available
globally - remains to be answered.
