Even though we all know that a version of Zenfone 4 already exists in Russia (Zenfone 4 Max), Asus is about to unveil the Zenfone 4 itself. And yes, it’s going to happen here in the Philippines.

Considering the Zenfone 4 Max’s specs, we do expect something with a better chipset (Snapdragon 6xx, maybe?). There has not been any render or image leak of how the other Zenfone 4’s look like.
Is it because that the Zenfone 4 looks similar to the Zenfone 4 Max due to the common dual-camera setup? We will know by then.
As for pricing, all we have is a ‘report’ that the 5.5-inch base Zenfone 4 variant will be priced at around PhP 25,000/USD 500.
All of these variants have been certified for use by the local NCC regulatory board.
I am expecting them all to show up at SMX on the 19th. Personally, I have been looking forward to the Zenfone 4 Pro. What about you?
