In 2016, Asus reportedly plans to flood the smartphone market and its first phone to be unveiled was said to be its ZenFone 3. It is said that the company could release at least 6 to 7 phones next year.
According to Android Pit, the upcoming Asus Zenfone 3 that is set to launch in 2016 would be the successor of the budget Asus Zenfone 2 that has arrived with 4GB RAM. This Asus Zenfone 2 was also just released earlier this year.
Mr Shih, the Asus chairman has revealed that the company will employ a USB Type-C connector for its new Zenfone 3. However, as for the other specs, the chairman hasn't provided any confirmed information.
The world-beating specs such as the QHD display or Snapdragon 820 processor could not be housed by this upcoming Zenfone version and the company might opt to sport "mid-range" specs for this phone instead, in order for this to also offer it at a budget price.
A report from Crossmap noted that it has been confirmed by the Asus CEO that they have a plan to launch 6 to 7 ZenFone model series in 2016. Two models of the mainstream ZenFone Laser, one premium ZenFone Deluxe, one ZenFone Selfie and ZenFone Max, and one or two ZenFone Go models are the devices that were reported to be included in the 2016 ZenFone family.
Furthermore, the Asus chairman Jonney Shih has also said that its upcoming ZenFone 3 is currently in the works. The ZenFone 2 which will be the Zenfones 3's forerunner has been recognized as the first smartphone that has a 4GB RAM. Moreover, it became available having different variants. Thus, the next iteration will probably have different options, Latinos Post wrote.
The Asus chief Jerry Shen has shared that the company will release 7 Zenfones to hit the market in August next year. Nevertheless, it hasn't been confirmed whether these will all be the variations of the new Zenfone 3.
