6 ASUS ZenFone 4 phones reportedly in the pipeline

DISAPPOINTED that no new ZenFones were announced at Computex, where ASUS traditionally reveals new handsets? If a post spotted on the ZenTalk forum is to be believed, you may not have to wait long before ASUS ZenFone 4 smartphones are launched. And it could be as early as July.

Six of them have supposedly been approved for Google services.

These six ASUS ZenFone 4 have reportedly been approved for Google services.

Up first is the ASUS ZenFone 4 Max, from a line that boasts big batteries. It was last seen on benchmarking site GFXBench, revealing details such an octa-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz, an Adreno 505 GPU, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, 13- and 5-megapixel rear cameras that can shoot 4K videos, an 8-megapixel front camera, a 5.5-inch HD display, and Android Nougat. There was no mention of its battery capacity, though. Bummer.

The second device is the ASUS ZenFone 4 Pro. There has never been a Pro variant in the ZenFone series, so we have yet to see what it offers. However, the last word in the name could mean it’s a high-end phone.

Third is the ASUS ZenFone 4 Selfie, another handset that has appeared on GFXBench. It is said to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset running at 2.0 GHz, a 16-megapixel main camera with 4K video recording, and a 12-megapixel selfie cam that can also capture in 4K.

The next two are different versions of the ASUS ZenFone 4. The difference between the two smartphones may lie in the RAM and storage areas, if we are to take a hint at how the Taiwanese manufacturer set the different ZenFone 3 main models apart.

Last is the ASUS ZenFone 4V, believed to be a variant that’s exclusive to American telecommunications company Verizon.

Whether most of these phones will land in the Philippines not long after their international launch remains to be seen. Here’s hoping they will because you see, ASUS CEO Jerry Shen has already confirmed that the ZenFone 5 lineup will be launched at MWC [Mobile World Congress] 2018, and that’s just eight months away.
