ASUS-Zenfone-3-Series-Specs-Price

These two completes the first set of phones under the newly announced Zenfone 3 series.

Aside from the high-end 6GB RAM ASUS Zenfone 3 Deluxe, here are the other handsets announced by ASUS at this year’s Computex.

The Zenfone 3 starts off with a new elegant design, moving away from the plastic materials used in the Zenfone 2. There’s now a glass covering the back of the phone, while the front houses the 5.5-inch 1080p display with three capacitive buttons at the bottom. The good thing about the ZF3 is that it uses the bottom bezel space which the ZF2 left out.

Powering the device is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor and it comes with 3GB RAM – 1GB below its predecessor, Zenfone 2. The fingerprint scanner at the back isn’t circular like any other sensors from the other companies. Instead, it utilizes a rectangular-shaped sensor. ASUS is starting to adapt the latest upcoming standards as the Zenfone 3 will now ship with USB Type-C. This enables the handset to use a reversible connector.
