The ASUS ZenFone range of smartphones will be getting a regional launch very soon, but we managed to get our hands on what appears to be an engineering sample of the ASUS ZenFone 5 for a quick hands-on preview. Going for a slim but rounded back look, the ZenFone 5 feels both light and solidly built at the same time. Thanks to the curved backside, the ZenFone 5 fits nicely into the palm of your hand while the smartphone is thin enough to look both sleek and stylish. Thankfully, there isn't any protruding camera lens this time around while the back is matte, and doesn't attract fingerprints or smudges all that much.
The front reveals a shiny metallic spiral bottom cover along with capacitive keys for back, home and recent apps. Overall, the design looks very good for a 5-inch display smartphone supposedly below RM1K. While we don't have specific Malaysia release dates or pricing just yet, we expect the ASUS ZenFone 5 to come to Malaysia soon, or at least within April 2014. Pricing is expected around RM599 which is very good for the tech specs involved. We'll have more articles about the ASUS ZenFone 5 in a bit so stay tuned for more updates. In the meantime, check out the photos below:
