So, looks like ASUS came up with a huge range from Budget to High-end segment. The 3rd gen Zenfones were not that much successful & many blamed their pricing for this. Now, this pricing looks decent but, keep it mind these are not Including Taxes & so, the prices will vary Country to Country. So, when these things hit the market, expect a bit increased prices.
ASUS also announced their ZenUI 4.0 & claimed that all the 4th Gen Zenfones will run on this UI & also 3rd Gen Zenfones will also get this UI via. future software updates. The Android O upgrade will also reach out to both the Zenfone 3 & Zenfone 4 series devices within the First Half of 2018. So, ASUS is promising good after sales services here.
The dates for all these devices going on sale in different countries are still not clear but, the Zenfone 4 & Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro is already available in Taiwan. Pricing is 10990 NTD for Zenfone 4 4GB, 64GB Model, 13990 NTD 6GB, 64GB Model & 9990 NTD for Zenfone Selfie 4GB, 64GB Model.
