This year will be a very challenging year for the Smartphones industry since most Smartphone manufacturers push themselves to their limit to come out with a Smartphone that packed with good features at affordable prices. Just like Asus, this year MWC they have introduced their new Zenfone series that comes with 3 different models with different size and they are all powered by a rather rare Intel Atom chipset which is uncommon in today's Smartphones but do not underestimate these processors as the low-end Zenfone 4 was tested with 15,000+- AnTuTu score while the high-end was tested with 22,000+- AnTuTu score.
Asus Introduced their entry-level 4 inch display Asus Zenfone 4, mid-range 5 inch display Zenfone 5 and lastly its high-end model that comes with 6 inch display, the Zenfone 6. They came out with a simple naming method that helps people to recognize which are the best one among them and also a way to identify their screen size as well.
Currently Superbuy is having a pre-order package for these models bundled with a free gift like power bank and an earphone and customers are expected to receive their phone somewhere around
