14 DAY TRIAL // ASUS unveiled the ZenFone 3 series in May, and it seems that they're not the only devices the company is focusing on. A new one has just been spotted on GFXBench, with specs of the upcoming ASUS ZO1B being revealed as a result of the benchmark test.
ASUS ZO1B features a 5.5-inch display with 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution and carries Snapdragon 435 chipset with an octa-core 1.4GHz CPU, coupled with Adreno 505 GPU. The phone comes with 2GB of RAM inside and has 32GB of internal storage.
In addition, rear camera capacity is set to reach 12MP, with an 8MP unit placed on the front. What we also know is that the handset is listed as running Android Marshmallow 6.0.1, according to the post on GFXBench (via Roland Quandt).
ASUS ZO1B could be a lower priced variant of ZenFone 3
The device's code name is ASUS ZO1B, and there's speculation that this is a lower priced variant of the Asus ZenFone 3. The two devices feature the same screen size and resolution, but all other specs seem to be lower as far as the Asus ZO1B is concerned.
ASUS ZenFone 3 already comes with a 5.7-inch variant called Deluxe and a 6.8-inch model named Ultra, so it wouldn't be quite out of the ordinary for ASUS to launch a lower priced version of the ZenFone 3.
Add to this the fact that ASUS ZenFone 3 comes with a 5.5-inch screen and 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution, together with Snapdragon 625 chipset and quad-core CPU, coupled with Adreno 506 GPU graphics. In addition, the handset's internal storage reaches 32GB with 4GB of RAM.
Moreover, the smartphone has a powerful 23MP rear camera and an 8MP unit on the front. Obviously, it runs Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 out of the box.
At this point, there's no information as to whether or when ASUS will unveil the ASUS ZO1B or if it's even a device part of the ZenFone 3 series.
