Asus Live will run on 2GB RAM with MediaTek MT6580 chip set and a 16GB internal storage.

For your interest, design-wise, Asus Live will have a colorful collection with at least 4 options for you to choose from. Stay tuned for more updates coming soon.

Smartphones are not usually equipped with huge cells, so they have kind of bad battery lives. As a result, those who can produce big battery phones can attract many people easily, and ASUS is one of them. Let’s welcome ZenFone Max!

ASUS ZenFone Max launch

ASUS ZenFone Max was announced in August 2015 but it is January, 2016 in which the phone will be released. Spec-wise, first of all, we have to mention its fantastic 5,000mAh battery. You can totally use the handset in 3 days to do basic tasks with just one charge. Specially, it can act as a power bank to help fuel other devices if needed. Cool! However, the big batt is also affect the machine’s thickness. It measures 10.55 mm to be specific, yet still acceptable, right?!

Other ASUS ZenFone Max specs contain a combo of a 13MP rear (with laser autofocus and dual LED flash) and a 5MP front-facing camera, a 5.5-inch HD screen, a dual SIM, 4G connectivity and ASUS ZenUI based on Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system. Besides, the whole device is powered by a Snapdragon 410 quad-core 1.2GHz chip, 2GB of RAM and 8/16GB of internal storage (expandable up to 128GB).

Design-wise, ZenFone Max sports a premium leather finish on the back and Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protective covering on the front surface. Though, due to such a unique look, the smartphone cannot offer you many color choices, yet we’re sure that’s OK since the ASUS ZenFone Max is already gorgeous. Don’t you think?

ASUS ZenFone Max Price and Availability

Recently, official ASUS ZenFone Max launch has just occurred in India with a price tag of Rs. 9,999 (or $150). Wow, if so, this Zen Max is really a very great deal, especially for those who love big battery smartphones. How about you? What are your feelings and opinions? Share with us!

Asus Zenfone Max Smartphone, Ulefone Power and Oukitel all got produced by Chinese Smartphone manufacturers. They own powerful huge batteries, they cost no more than… Well, check out this wonderful battle as we are welcoming the very first days of 2016…

Ulefone Power VS Oukitel K6000 VS ASUS ZenFone Max: Design Winner

Design-wise, these phones look pretty though they are thicker than many other handsets on the market. Yet, we can understand this because their batteries are huge. Specifically, ASUS ZenFone Max is the thickest due to its 10.55 mm thickness while the others have 9.55 mm. But, let’s say, they give us a sturdy feeling when holding them, right?! Beside the design, we also want to mention some similarities in terms of specs.

You can recognize each of them sports a 5.5-inch screen, a combo of a 13MP rear and a 5MP front-facing camera, 4G LTE connectivity, a dual SIM and a microSD card slot to expand its internal storage.As for differences, Oukitel K6000 specs, ASUS ZenFone Max specs and Ulefone Power specs have their own strengths and weaknesses we need to know. Firstly, the K6000 packs a MediaTek MT6735P chip, 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM (+64GB), Android 5.1 Lollipop OS and a generous 6,000mAh cell.

Meanwhile, the Max features a Snapdragon 410 chipset, 2GB RAM, 8/16GB ROM (+128GB), Android 5.0 Lollipop and a kind of big 5,000mAh batt. In general, they are not really different from each other a lot, but if we have to choose a better one here, we would say it is Oukitel K6000. Nonetheless, there is still one strong candidate boasting a MediaTek MTK6753 processor, 3GB RAM, 16GB ROM (+128GB), Android 5.1 Lollipop and a bit larger battery with 6,050mAh.

Ulefone Power VS Oukitel K6000 VS ASUS ZenFone Max: Price and availability

Okay, it seems like we have just found out the champion of this battery battle: Ulefone Power. And let’s look at its price to see if the Power’s win is even more persuasive or not!Their prices have already been announced with Oukitel K6000 price of $139.99, ASUS ZenFone Max price of $200 and Ulefone Power price of $209 but the K6000 is the most budget one. Well, those are all super affordable, but which one do you prefer? Share with us your choice!

Asus Zenfone 3, confirmed by Asus CEO, is being one of the most expected flagship smartphones set to launched in 2016. In case you don’t know yet, here are the 5 reasons why it is…

1. Asus’s reputation for high quality

The success Asus gained in 2015 with the releases of different versions for Asus Zenfone was contributed considerably by the high product quality they commit. Many people love Zenfone 2, Zenfone Selfie, Zenfone Max and so on for their ability to perform strongly and last a decent long while. As Asus has confirmed the introduction of the next generation – Asus Zenfone 3 some time in 2016, we have a firm belief they will keep such a good reputation, not to mention the effort to improve their product quality and make it better everyday.

2. Experience of 6GB RAM

This is not confirmed yet, but rumors are suggesting that Asus Zenfone 3 will be one of the first one to feature the new tech of 2016 – 6GB RAM smartphone, just like its predecessor Zenfone 2 did with being the first 4GB RAM phone one year earlier. A huge RAM together with powerful processor is the dream phone of any heavy user and gamer out there. And trust us, when it is launched, you will be tempted to try it on!

3. A bonus of cool features

In 2015, Asus had made a wise strategy when continuously launching different versions with different targeted features, so that users with any demand can find a suitable device for themselves. For example, we have that selfie-centric Asus Zenfone Selfie, that battery beast Asus Zenfone Max, that photo-geek device Asus Zenfone Zoom etc… For the upcoming Asus Zenfone 3, leaking rumors are suggesting a fingerprint scanner, USB Type C, and an improved camera sensor as a “nice surprise”. Can’t wait!

4. Impressive design

Even with a mid-ranger, Asus made sure to give their smartphone a good looking casing with metal body and classy design. For the upcoming Asus Zenfone 3 is said to be a flagship device, we are both curious and excited to see if the company is about to make any big change for its outlook. But one thing we know for sure, it will manage to impress you!

5. An affordable price tag compared to quality

Here comes another Asus Zenfone signature: the price! The reason that helps turn Asus from zero to hero in our crazy smartphone market is that, their products usually come with very affordable and reasonable price tag. They try their best to keep it as economic as possible, explaining why their final products are always sold with a very competitive price. There is no reason for Asus to change this reputation in the near future. As we will have several flagships to launched in 2016, from Samsung, Sony, HTC and more, the price will be the key element to keep Asus Zenfone 3 competitive from others.

What will ASUS bring us next year? Will it be an ASUS ZenFone 3 as what we’ve been hearing a lot so far? Maybe yes! Lately, we’ve just learned ASUS is gearing up to release their third member of the ZenFone lineup…

ASUS ZenFone 3 will be more premium with a fingerprint scanner…

Accordingly, the company is preparing everything to launch a new flagship smartphone in 2016. It can be named ASUS ZenFone 3 as a successor to the famous ASUS ZenFone 2 introduced this year. Good news is that properly ASUS will equip their handset with a fingerprint scanner (FS) to make it more premium. And Elan Microelectronic together with a Chinese company called Goodix will be responsible for making the sensor.

If you remember, some months ago ASUS Chairman Johnny Shih used to reveal the Zen 3 could have a USB Type-C port and claimed that there would be no inflated price tag since they would “eat” the price of a value-enhancing feature if it could satisfy consumers. Actually, we think both FS and USB Type-C are likely to appear in the ASUS ZenFone 3 specs since they are so common nowadays and won’t cost much.

Besides, according to some other news sources, ASUS will be produce up to 30 million units, increasing 50% compared to 20 million ASUS ZenFone 2 units this year. Well, if so, they are really confident of their next smartphone, which also means it’s worth the wait. However, when will the ASUS ZenFone 3 launch occur? Check out the next part for more details.

ASUS ZenFone 3 price and availability

The device is said to appear in May or June, 2016 and it seems ASUS will do everything to keep the ASUS ZenFone 3 price around $300 or $350. And in case of boasting up to 6GB RAM, we are sure that a rise in the cost is absolutely possible and reasonable. But, let’s wait and see!

Finally, one of the most anticipated smartphones made by ASUS has been launched. It is ASUS ZenFone Zoom with an amazing rear camera and…

Powerful ASUS ZenFone Zoom specs: 4GB RAM, 128GB ROM and…

Recently, the ASUS ZenFone Zoom launch has occurred at a press conference held in Beijing, China. ASUS ZenFone Zoom specs are also shown clearly and fully. First, we are aware that there are 2 slightly different models: ZenFone Zoom ZX550 and Zoom ZX551ML. Spec-wise, the ZX550 features a 5.5-inch Full HD display, an Intel Atom Z3580 2.3GHz processor under the hood, 16/32/64/128GB ROM (expandable to 64GB), 2/4GB RAM, and a 3,000mAh battery.

As for the second version, some small differences are an Intel Atom Z3590 2.5GHz chip, 32/64/128GB ROM (expandable up to 128GB), and 4GB RAM. Besides, both variants have the same combo of a 13MP rear plus LED flash and a 5MP front camera. Furthermore, the main shooter is really special since it uses Japan’s HOYA optics and includes 3x optical zoom, 12x digital zoom, optical image stabilization, and laser focus. That is also why the phone is called Zoom!

So, no matter what version you choose, the ASUS ZenFone Zoom specs are powerful in general and the design is pretty unique with a big snapper on the back. Despite being announced in early 2015, it is until now that the company officially releases their device with detailed prices. Check out the next part to see how much it costs.

ASUS ZenFone Zoom Price and availability

The 64GB and 2.3GHz processor version is priced at 2,799 Yuan (equivalent to $433) while the 128GB and 2.5GHz processor one is priced at 3,199 Yuan (equivalent to $495) in China. Other information about the international availability as well as prices of ASUS ZenFone Zoom will be revealed later. Let’s wait and see!

ASUS has gained a lot of success this year when releasing many interesting and powerful smartphones such as ASUS ZenFone 2, ZenFone Selfie, ZenFone Zoom, etc. So, the following model ASUS Z1 Titan can be the company’s next success in 2016. 

ASUS Z1 Titan: Real beast with 6GB RAM, 256GB ROM and…

Technology for smartphones is developing real fast. This year we have welcomed 4GB RAM for mobiles and it is becoming more and more common, so we may not feel so surprised if 2016 sees a launch of 5GB RAM or 6GB RAM devices. And we expect ASUS company will once again be the first manufacturer to introduce a phone like that (as they were the first to announce a 4GB RAM machine).

If so, we also hope the phone will be ASUS Z1 Titan, a model designed by Mladen Milic, a designer, we have just spotted recently. Its design and specifications are so great that we want to share with you immediately. On the front surface, there are 4 speakers to bring you the best sound quality. In terms of ASSU Z1 Titan specs, there are 6GB RAM, 256GB ROM, a Snapdragon 830 chip and a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED 2K screen.

Other features include Android 6.0 Marshmallow, a 3,500mAh battery (though we would prefer a bigger one), and a combo of 16MP rear camera with a dual LED flash plus a 5MP front-facing one. Looking at the handset, we notice it is likely to come with a metal frame which reminds us of the gaming laptop series ASUS ROG. Cool, right?!

ASUS Z1 Titan price and availability

ASUS Z1 Titan is still just a concept for now. But such a fantastic smartphone for working, learning and entertaining should come soon, maybe next year and cost around $400. Though, we should wait more for the firm’s official announcement. Now, it is your turn to tell us what you feel about this model – ASUS Z1 Titan?

2015 is a great year for ASUS smartphones since they’ve launched many good devices under ASUS ZenFone brand. And in the next days, the company will do it again by officially releasing ZenFone Max as the best smartphone with huge battery!

ASUS ZenFone Max: One of the best latest ASUS phones with 5,000mAh batt and…

Though this is not the first time we heard about smartphone ASUS ZenFone Max (because it was announced once in August), we still feel excited as this time, the Max’s ready to go on sale. Recently, a short promo video has been posted on the internet, which is kind of evidence for the global ASUS ZenFone Max launch in the near future. It seems a very good deal, especially for those who like long battery life due to its 5,000mAh cell.

According to the clip, the ZenFone Max can provide a talk time of up to 37.6 hours, video playback time of 22.6 hours, Wi-Fi web browsing for 32.5 hours, and a stand-by time of 38 days. So impressive, isn’t it? Furthermore, the handset can also be used as a power bank to charge other machines. Nonetheless, there is one drawback (but not so important, we guess) that the big batt may be the reason why Max (156 x 77.5 x 10.5 mm) is a bit thicker than most other ASUS phones.

Besides, ASUS ZenFone Max specs include a 5.5-inch HD screen, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB of ROM (expandable) and a combo of 5MP front plus 13MP rear camera equipped with laser autofocus and dual LED flash. In addition, Max runs on ZenUI based on Android 5.0 Lollipop OS, but no word has been made for a possible Marshmallow upgrade yet.

ASUS ZenFone Max price and availability

Despite having been already listed on the company’s website, ASUS ZenFone Max price tag is still a secret. Though, some predictions mentioned that the ASUS price could range from $180 to $250. So, what do you think about this new ASUS device? Share with us your opinions!

Do you remember how we loved the Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe with huge 128GB internal storage? How about that much space comes together with your favorite 13MP selfie camera? Let’s meet Asus Zenfone Selfie Limited Edition…

Asus Zenfone Selfie Limited Edition: not just a bigger ROM

Customers nowadays seem to appreciate smartphone with huge internal storage rather than having to add in an extra micro SD card, which can be much easier to break or ruined by virus. Knowing, Asus smartphone introduced a limited version with an upgraded internal storage, for one of their best seller Zenfone 2 Selfie. It has been said that the Zenfone 2 Laser and Zenfone Zoom will also have this update too. In this post, we want to focus on our “vedette” – the Asus Zenfone Selfie Limited Edition.

This special variant also comes with 3GB RAM instead of 2GB RAM like the original unit. Besides that and a whooping 128GB ROM, other Zenfone Selfie specs are still kept: a 5.5” 1080p display, Snapdragon 615 chip set, 3000 mAH and beautiful dual 13MP cameras on both the front and the back! If you enjoy taking (a lot of) photos, and having a massive amount of space to store all your files and folders (pictures, videos and anything you want to keep in your phone), this is a perfect choice for you.

Design-wise, the Limited Edition has quite some differences with the original counterpart. First of all, it will only come in PINK color option. Then, it has a 3-D crystal back cover that looks similar to the Zenfone 2 Deluxe. As the name suggest, this is totally not a target to most customer, as it is very specific and “limited” in both color and design!

Asus Zenfone Selfie Limited Edition – meant for “specific” customers

In case you don’t remember, Asus Zenfone Selfie is one of the few devices that support 4G LTE on both SIM. And the same goes with this Limited Edition. For now, no words have been heard about Zenfone Selfie Limited Edition price and availability yet, but with and update in both RAM and internal storage, we guess you will need to pay at least and extra $100-150!
