Taiwanese electronics major Asus on Wednesday said
the company would expand its gaming portfolio with launching components like
gaming monitors, routers and similar products in India. According to the
company, the gaming component line-up has the potential to contribute close to
10 percent to its overall revenue in India. The company on Thursday launched
four new gaming and lifestyle products in India, including a three-in-one
Triband router, RGB gaming router, and full-HD gaming monitors.
The new Lyra Voice is a three-in-one Triband router
with built-in Amazon Alexa and a Bluetooth speaker with stereo speakers. ROG
Rapture GT-AC2900, on the other hand, is world's first RGB gaming router
designed to meet the distinct needs of PC, console and mobile gamers. Lastly,
the VG258QR and 27-inch VG278QR are AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-SYNC compatible
certified Full-HD gaming monitors.
Asus Lyra Voice has been priced at Rs. 24,990,
whereas ROG Rapture GT-AC2900 will be sold at Rs. 23,900. The Asus VG258QR and
VG278QR have been priced at Rs. 26,500, Rs. 31,500, respectively. All new Asus
products will be offered via Amazon and offline retailers in the country. The
Asus VG258QR and VG278QR gaming monitors will also be offered via Flipkart as
well.
Currently, Asus imports most of the components from
Taiwan and has no plans to make these products in India.
