Asus Zenfone 2 coming to the US this spring
Asus introduced the Intel Atom-powered Zenfone 2 smartphone family back in January at CES 2015. After hitting the Taiwanese market in early March, these handsets reached Europe yesterday, and now the US market is next in line. While pricing for the US is still unknown, Asus US will hold a Zenfone 2 event at the end of April, so we will definitely find out more about it next month.
The three variants available in Europe right now are ZE551ML, ZE550ML, and ZE500CL. These are their starting prices and main specs (in the same order as above):
- 375 USD: Intel Atom Z3580 SoC, 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage, 5.5-inch FullHD display
- 268 USD: Intel Atom Z3560 SoC, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage, 5.5-inch HD display
- 193 USD: Intel Atom Z2560 SoC, 2 GB RAM and 8 GB storage, 5-inch HD display
The Asus Zenfone 2 family is expected to retail starting at $199 USD in the US, but this figure has not been officially confirmed yet. The Asus event mentioned in the beginning takes place on April 28, in New York.
