Asus ZenFone 2 Deluxe Special Edition gets a new processor

Asus unveiled the ZenFone 2 Deluxe Special Edition last November - a handset that offered premium specs and exclusive back covers in metallic silver and carbon fiber. Its specs included the Intel Atom Z3580 chip, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB internal storage and microSD support. Now, an updated version of this 5.5-inch Android smartphone has been announced with a few improvements - a slightly faster processor, more storage, as well as fast-charging technology.

The updated Asus ZenFone 2 Deluxe Special Edition features the following significant changes:

• Processor: Intel Atom Z3590 SoC
• Memory/Storage: 4 GB RAM; 128 GB internal storage and microSD support up to 128 GB
• Battery: 3000 mAh (same as before) with BoostMaster fast charging (up to 60 percent charge in 39 minutes)

In addition to the above, the updated ZenFone 2 Deluxe Special Edition also comes with Asphalt 8: Airborne pre-loaded, as well as 24,000 in-game credits. Unfortunately, there is no information about its release date and pricing yet, but we will let you know as soon as we find out.
