ASUS Zenfone V

ASUS has a new smartphone but it’s not part of the recently announced Zenfone 4 family. Meet the ASUS Zenfone V.

As per the stated facts, the word “V” from the ASUS Zenfone V branding translates to “Verizon”. Yup, as of the moment, this device is only available for Verizon Wireless, a telco company in the United States. This means that it’s highly unlikely to be released to other parts of the world, but there’s a possibility that it can come with a different name.

The Zenfone V’s design is reminiscent of last year’s Zenfone 3. It has this boxy design with rounded corners, metal bands, and a circular brushed-metal look at the back surrounding the camera in the middle.

It has a 5.2-inch Full HD AMOLED screen — a type of display that blurs the line between a midrange and high-end device. Powering the smartphone is a Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 CPU, one of the best chipsets of the past that powered previous flagship devices like the OnePlus 3 and ASUS’ own Zenfone 3 Deluxe.

And to further justify the device’s “no compromise” tagline, it also has a 4GB RAM, 32GB of expandable storage, and 3000mAh non-removable battery.
