Asus Next Generation Zenfone 5z, 5, Max Pro M1 for MWC 2018

Asus is said to release sets of new generation of Zenfone 5 Series scheduled for MWC 2018! There will be  "Ultimate Luxury", "Premier Luxury" and "Empowering Luxury for Everyone".



For Ultimate Luxury, Asus will offer the Zenfone 5z! which is their high end offering. Said to carry Snapdragon 845. Asus Zenfone 5 Base Model will be "Premier Luxury" with a Snapdragon 636 Processor. "Empowering Luxury for Everyone" with Zenfone Max Pro (M1) is their budget offering.

Well if we include other leak, seems there will also be ASUS ZenFone 5 Lite ZC600KL (X017DA). Rumored to have 18:9  (FHD me thinks) Display that is powered by Snapdragon 660 and 4GB RAM running Android  Oreo 8.0. For its camera, Asus said to have equipped it with Dual Rear with 20MP Standard+8mp?(Wide Angle) and Dual Front Camera 16MP+ 8MP?(Wide Angle) Setup.



If we base on this, Zenfone 5z will be release by June. Zefone 5 and Zenfone Max Pro (M1) in March which should be after its announcement at MWC 2018.

Here is my take on it.

Zenfone 5Z?
Zenfone 5Z might be the "Zenfone 5 with lip" or to say the iPhone X Not. haha With its notch and its design including the Type-C port, leading me to decide it has all the advance feature to be the Next flagship.

Zenfone 5 and Zenfone 5 Lite will be deal breaking smartphones that will offer Bang-for-the-Buck Qualities. @evleaks has shared some product photos and by the looks of it, Asus is keen on getting things right.

Zenfone 5 / 5 Lite?
Zenfone Max Pro (M1) will offer 18:9 Display matched with Snapdragon 430 with 4GB RAM. Dual Rear Camera Setup with a high resolution front camera plus big battery at 4000 or 5000mAh.

Max Pro (M1)
Well February 27 is just around the bend. Asus will officially make the announcement at MWC 2018. Till then! All this is still rumor until official release.
