ASUS might not be the most popular smartphone seller out there, but if you’re looking for a phone with big battery or a handset with decent specs, the ZenFone 3 lineup has something to offer.
Come CES 2017 in January, ASUS is looking to launch new products that it hopes will attract customers’ interest.
The rumor mill claims the Taiwanese manufacturing has in plan to unveil a new ZenFone 4 handset and a Project Tango-based ZenFone AR. The second product could prove to be quite interesting, especially since there aren’t many Tango phones available on the market just yet.
