Basically, the 5” Asus ZenFone 2 could very well hit the market not too long after the 5.5” model is released. The latter is tipped to roll out worldwide from this March onward, and the 5.5” Asus ZenFone 2 is touted to arrive with variants of up to 4GB RAM, although that remains to be seen whether similar standards in terms of hardware specifications underneath the hood would apply to the 5” model. Apart from that, it would not be too far off the mark to have expectations of the smaller ZenFone 2 to be similar in terms of its aesthetics – other than the obvious difference in size, of course, as the larger 5.5” sibling.
As for pricing, that also remains to be seen – but logic dictates that it ought to be a wee bit more affordable as opposed to the 5.5″ ZenFone 2.
