The Zenfone 3 Go appears to be a revival of the
budget "Go" line. The new Zenfone 3 Go, logically
shares most of its aesthetic with the rest of the Zenfone 3 family. The back is
flat and from the looks of things has a brushed metal finish. There is no
rear-mounted button, nor any physical controls on the front. Also, the camera
design now appears smaller and its circular shape and position near the edge,
make the Zenfone 3 Go really blend in with many contemporary offers from the
likes of Oppo, Vivo or Meizu.
These include a 5-inch 720p display,
Snapdragon 410 chipset, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. The camera setup
consists of a 13MP main shooter with 1.4 μm pixel size and a 5MP selfie one.
Overall, nothing really impressive, but still a pretty decent offer,
considering the EUR 150 suggested price point.
Asus seems to be marketing the Zenfone 3 Go as a
perfect social and multimedia consumption tool. The "soft" LED flash
on the front should definitely make for better low-light selfies or streaming
experience. The dual MEMS Microphones for noise suppression and Five-Magnet
Speakers sound cool as well.
Since the Zenfone 4 will probably be announced some
time around May, we might see the Zenfone 3 Go make its official appearance at
the MWC this month.
