After the runaway success of the Asus Zenfone 2, the Taiwanese company seems to be gearing up for the next variant. New images, which surfaced on the Internet earlier today, give us the first glimpse of the upcoming smartphone. The image was seen on the Red Dot 21 website, where the phones were rumoured to be entered by Asus itself. Red Dot 21 is a product design showcase website. According to the images and the description on the website, the Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe seems to share its design attributes with the newly launched Samsung Galaxy S7.
According to Red Dot 21, the Asus Zenfone 3 will have 2.5D glass, on both the front and back. The back will also have the signature Asus spinning design. The description on the website suggests that the phone will have a laser assisted autofocus system, USB Type-C for "speedy charging", a front-facing flash as well as a fingerprint scanner, which can double up as a camera shutter as well. However, the website does not share any details about the specifications of the upcoming smartphone.
According to a previous report, specifications of two Zenfones were leaked on GFXBench. One Asus Z010DD is apparently running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset. It might come with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Reports suggest that the phone may have a 13MP rear camera, 5MP selfie snapper and two display options — 5.5-inch and 5.9-inch, both with 720p resolution. It is more than likely that the phone will be launched with Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
