ASUS ZenFone 2 PH Launch Date Announced

If you’ve been following ASUS Philippines on Facebook, then you probably saw what others can’t see. But for the rest, surprise surprise! The consumer electronics company just posted a teaser image on their Facebook page about the launch of the ZenFone 2 in the Philippines.

Do you see what others can’t see? If not, look closely at the image, particularly the ZenFone 2’s display. Check out the time, date and location. It says 4PM, May 16, Saturday with Manila as location (to indicate the Philippines). Other than the cool 25 degree temperature (no one in Manila will believe that one), it seems to point out that the launch date is already set.

The ZenFone 2 launched in SE Asia region in Jakarta, Indonesia last April. We were there during the launch and we, along with fellow esteemed bloggers, were really impressed. The smartphone comes with a 5.5 inch IPS display, a 64-bit quad-core Intel processor, a huge 4GB of RAM (yes, that’s a lot more than current flagships!) and a 13MP PixelMaster main camera.

Oh, and since the ZenFone 2 is not yet officially here, the ones you see being sold in malls or online are not official as well. Meaning it doesn’t come with ASUS PH warranty and support. We’re not saying they’re unreliable or what not, we’re just saying to be cautious and be aware. Incidentally, local prices are yet to be announced as well.
