Asus Zenfone 3 Go leaks with specs and renders
Asus' naming
convention is getting more and more confusing with each passing day. Navigating
already official models is a challenge in itself, but when it comes to
analyzing leaks, it really takes some dedicated investigative work to get the
facts straight. This time around, however, we have an almost suspiciously
straight-forward scoop.
The Zenfone 3 Go
appears to be a revival of the budget "Go" line. Last we saw a Go
unit up on offer was in 2015. The original Asus Zenfone Go ZC500TG bore the
typical Zenfone 2 design language, including the bulky arching back and a
horizontally centered main camera.
The new Zenfone 3
Go, on the other hand, logically shares most of its aesthetic with the rest of
the Zenfone 3 family. The back is flat and from the looks of things has a
brushed metal finish. There is no rear-mounted button, nor any physical
controls on the front. Also, the camera design now appears smaller and its
circular shape and position near the edge, make the Zenfone 3 Go really blend
in with many contemporary offers from the likes of Oppo, Vivo or Meizu.
Apart from the
nifty renders, the leak also shares some alleged specs for the Zenfone 3 Go.
These include a 5-inch 720p display, Snapdragon 410 chipset, 2GB of RAM and
16GB of storage. The camera setup consists of a 13MP main shooter with 1.4 μm
pixel size and a 5MP selfie one. Overall, nothing really impressive, but still
a pretty decent offer, considering the EUR 150 suggested price point.
Asus seems to be
marketing the Zenfone 3 Go as a perfect social and multimedia consumption tool.
The "soft" LED flash on the front should definitely make for better
low-light selfies or streaming experience. The dual MEMS Microphones for noise
suppression and Five-Magnet Speakers sound cool as well.
Since the Zenfone
4 will probably be announced some time around May, we might see the Zenfone 3
Go make its official appearance at the MWC this month.
