ASUS Malaysia have just revealed their latest Zenvolution event to be on 6 August 2016. Signaling the Malaysian reveal of their recently announced ASUS ZenFone 3 range, now it is only a question of how many ASUS ZenFone 3 smartphones will be revealed for Malaysia.

While we're quite sure the ZenFone 3, ZenFone 3 Ultra and ZenFone 3 Deluxe will probably arrive, will the recently announced ZenFone 3 Laser and ZenFone 3 Max also make an appearance? How about Zenbo? Since Intel is involved, should we also expect the new ASUS Transformers or ZenBooks? 

Sometimes, all you want is a device with a big screen and the ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser ZE601KL certainly fulfils this need with its 6-inch full HD display. Asides from that it also offers up the highest tech specs in the ZenFone 2 Laser range while maintaining the laser autofocus available in the entire range.

This week Computex started but for most of us, ASUS stole the show with their Zenvolution, announcing the ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe, ZenFone 3 and ZenFone 3 Ultra. ASUS didn't stop there and also announced their ASUS Transformer 3 2-in-1 laptops and the ASUS ZenBook 3 but their biggest news turned out to be their ZenBo personal robot. Huawei Malaysia started the sale of their Huawei P9 and P9 Lite and subsequently announced the price and release date for the much awaited Huawei P9 Plus and more.

Recently revealed ahead of Computex, the new trio of ASUS ZenFones includes the ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe, ZenFone 3 and ZenFone 3 Ultra.
