UPDATE: The Zenvolution came. Zenfone 3 Prices Officially Announced for Philippines

ASUS will bring its biggest product releases to the Philippines, through a massive August launch of the ASUS Zenfone 3, Zenbook 3, and Transformer 3 series in the country.  These models are ASUS’ third generation of mobile phones, notebooks, and 2-in-1’s, boasting brand new specs and features for consumers to enjoy.

Starting this exciting lineup is the Zenfone 3 family, whose members include the flagship model Zenfone 3 Deluxe, the regular Zenfone 3, and the powerful, 6.8-inch Zenfone 3 Ultra, a true mobile entertainment machine. All three Zenfone 3 units are protected by a state-of-the-art fingerprint sensor, which will unlock the device by scanning the registered user’s fingerprint.

The Zenfone 3 Deluxe runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Series processor, Adreno 530 GPU, and an integrated X12 LTE modem, with up to 6GB RAM. Besides this, it also comes packed with a 5.7-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display with a 1920×1080 resultion, and an impressive 23-megapixel main camera with a large f/2.0 aperture lens.

The regular Zenfone 3, on the other hand, is an award-winning phone that clocks in at 5.5 inches with its Full HD Super IPS+ display, and is equpped with a new Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 octa?core processor, and 4 GB RAM. This particular model sports a 16-megapixel main camera.

Finally, there is the Zenfone 3 Ultra, the largest of the three units.  The Zenfone 3 Ultra is designed for multimedia enthusiasts, boasting a 6.8-inch Full HD display with a high-end 4K UHD TV-grade image processor to optimize the Zenfone 3 Ultra’s display. Like the Deluxe, the ZenFone 3 Ultra is equipped with the same high-resolution 23MP camera. Its difference however, lies in its Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 octa-core processor, Adreno 510 graphics, and4GB of RAM, which promises to deliver outstanding mobile performance. Finally, the Zenfone 3 Ultra packs a 4600mAh battery that allows it last for a long time, or act as a power bank through its 1.5A output for charging other devices.

For the other products slated for the Philippine launch, we look at the Zenbook 3 and the Transformer 3.

The last member of the launch lineup, and the most versatile of the three is the pair which includes the ASUS Transformer 3 and the Transformer 3 Pro, which are both laptop-tablet convertible units, using a built-in metal kickstand that allows users to customize their viewing angle. The ASUS Transformer 3 Pro is powered by an Intel Core i7 processor, has up to 1TB in storage, and 16GB RAM.
