ASUS Zenfone 5Z, the company’s latest flagship device, has been launched in the Philippines.
This device is one of the first smartphones to come with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor — a chipset that’s expected to power almost all of the flagship handsets that will be coming out this year.
Unlike the Zenfone 5 2018, the Zenfone 5Z will not be available for purchase just yet. It is set to become available by June, with a price tag of Php29,995.
Besides the processor, one of its main highlights belongs in the camera department. There is an 8-megapixel shooter in front and a 12-megapixel + 8-megapixel wide-angle dual cameras set up on the back. The primary camera is also equipped with 4-axis optical image stabilization.
The company also adapts the display notch trend on the ASUS Zenfone 5Z. Other than that, ASUS is also joining the bandwagon by introducing a slew of AI capabilities on this device.
