The Zenfone 3 Go could have a 5-inch 720p display and a Snapdragon 410 chipset, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage under the hood.
Information about its camera is also quite detailed. The phone would have a 13-megapixel primary camera with 1.4 µm pixel size and dual tone LED flash. Fr ont is said to have an LED flash light accompanying the 5-megapixel shooter.
The phone doesn't feature a fingerprint sensor, but other features include a dual MEMS Microphones set for cutting out noise during calling or voice recording, and a Five-Magnet Speaker with "smart amp" for polished sound.
The phone mimics the Zenfone 3 design language, keeping a full metal unibody deign with front appearing to have a 2.5D curved glass. It looks very similar to what Chinese manufacturers currently offer in the Rs 10,000-20,000 price band. As in the photo, the phone would be available in gold, rose gold and blue colours.
Asus launched the Zenfone Go series back in 2015, complementing its very first smartphone -- Zenfone 5 in India. But even after the Zenfone series took off with mid-range Zenfone 2 and Zenfone Max variants, Asus kept alive its budget offerings.
The Go series phones are company's answer to sub Rs 5,000 and sub Rs 7,000 offerings from India's h ome grown brands Intex, Lava and Micromax. Though Asus Zenfone Go 4.5 and Zenfone Go 5 with slightly tweaked innards, had the classic Zenfone look that the Zenfone 2 sported.
The expected price of the Zenfone 3 Go is EUR 150 (about Rs 11,000), which will be similar to Xiaomi Redmi Note 4. But the latter offers a next generation chipset -- Snapdragon 625 -- also a level higher in the range.
