If you’ve been eyeing certain ASUS ZenFone models for a while, now might be the best time to buy them. For a limited time, the ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom, ZenFone 3 Laser, and ZenFone 4 Selfie Lite can be had at huge discounts on Lazada Philippines.

The sale, which starts today and ends tomorrow, August 31, sees the ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom dropping to P10,990 (around $206) from P19,995 ($374) at launch. The ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser and ZenFone 4 Selfie Lite, meanwhile, are now priced at P6,795 ($127) and P6,395 ($120), respectively, from P11,995 ($224) and P8,795 ($165). All units are guaranteed authentic and come with a year of local manufacturer warranty for your peace of mind.

This comes a few days after it was announced that the ASUS ZenFone Max Plus and ZenFone Max M1 will now be permanently priced at P8,995 ($168, from P11,995 or $224) and P8,495 ($159, from P8,995), respectively.

ASUS Philippines’ flash-sale announcement

As a refresher, the ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom features a 5.5-inch, 1,920 x 1,080 OLED display and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor mated to 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage and powered by a generous 5,000mAh battery.

There are two cameras on the back — one with normal optics and another with a telephoto lens that delivers up to 2.3x magnification before going into digital-zoom mode, hence the “Zoom” branding.

Switching to the ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser, the phone is built around the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 with 4GB RAM and 32GB memory and comes with a 5.5-inch, 1,920 x 1,080 LCD display protected by rounded Corning Gorilla Glass. Its back-facing camera — a 13-megapixel unit — is assisted by a laser auto-focus system for speedy focusing while snapping pictures.

Finally, we have the ASUS ZenFone 4 Selfie Lite, which uses the same Snapdragon 430 chip in the ZenFone 3 Laser but offers less RAM and memory. It still sports a decent 5.5-inch display, though, and includes a 3,000mAh battery and a fingerprint reader on the rear that makes unlocking the phone a quick and painless experience.
