This week, tech news was rather scarce but Pokemon Go seems to be gripping the nation as XPAX by Celcom and Hotlink and Grab offered their users some Pokemon Go incentives. We chimed in with the top 5 features that Pokemon Go needs while we wait for the next version of Pokemon Go.

ASUS didn't just reveal their ASUS ZenFone 3 range of smartphones at the previous Computex but also revealed their ASUS Zenbo smart home personal assistant. While we've yet to have any chance at testing it out here in Malaysia (so obviously no Malaysia release dates), ASUS have released some live demo videos of the ASUS Zenbo showing off what it can do in your Smart home. Check them out below:

The ASUS ZenFone 3 is one of the few smartphones out there that can take 4K video recordings and still be priced below RM2K. We did a hands-on of both the 4K video recording as well as the full HD 1080p video recording. Both were taken with rather shaky hands and you can really see the effects of Video Stabilization in the FHD 1080p video recording. While the 4K video recording does not allow you turn on Video Stabilization, the shaking isn't as bad as expected but you can see for yourself in the videos below.

Last week was crazy busy as Honor started it with a bang and their officially announced Honor Note 8 and Honor 5 Play. Samsung subsequently skipped numbers and officially announced the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 with their new Gear VR. ASUS soon followed suit with their full range of ASUS ZenFone 3, ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra, ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe, ASUS ZenFone 3 Max and ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser smartphones along with their ASUS ZenBook 3, ASUS Transformer 3 and ASUS Transformer 3 Pro, all for Malaysia.

We managed to get the full set of the ASUS ZenFone 3 ZE552KL so we're doing a more detailed unboxing and hands-on video compared to yesterday's on-site hands-on (sorry for the shaky cam). Priced at RM1699 the ZE552KL goes for a metal frame and 2.5D curved glass front and back design but this time we got the not so shiny black coloured version. Check out the video and tech specs in this article.

Coming in at RM1699 and RM 1499 respectively, the ASUS ZenFone 3 ZE552KL and ZE520KL sport the same metal frame with 2.5D glass front and back. Asides from the screen size, both are nearly identical with a super slim 7.69mm thin body. Very light and looking super premium, the phone can still record 4K video and do a whole lot more, despite having a price tag below RM2000.

ASUS Malaysia officially launched their ASUS ZenFone 3 range and yes, they confirmed our earlier rumour that all 5 of them are available to Malaysia and that there will be both the Snapdragon 820 and 821 variants for the ZenFone 3 Deluxe. No specific Malaysia release dates but ASUS Malaysia have assured us that all of them will arrive within this month of August. Check out the prices below:

• ASUS ZenFone 3 5.2-inch display (RM1499)
• ASUS ZenFone 3 5.5-inch display (RM1699),
• ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe 6GB RAM / 256GB (RM3299)
• ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe 6GB RAM / 64GB (RM2599)
• ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra (RM2599)
• ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser (RM999)
• ASUS ZenFone 3 Max (RM799)

The ASUS ZenFone 3 is coming to Malaysia tomorrow at the ASUS Zenvolution to be held in KL Convention Centre with registration starting from 10.30am. While you can just come as you want, those who have pre-registered for the event will be getting exclusive free gifts that include a Zenny 16GB thumbdrive, Zenny non-woven bag and Zenny T-Shirt while the first 150 will also get a Zenny Bluetooth Selfie Stick. The time period for registration ends at 11.30am so be there or be square.

With the upcoming ASUS ZenVolution happening tomorrow on 6 August 2016, our intrepid leakster Mr Anonymous revealed that Malaysia will be getting the ASUS ZenFone 3 (both the 5.5-inch and 5.2-inch versions), ZenFone 3 Ultra, ZenFone 3 Deluxe, ZenFone 3 Laser and ZenFone 3 Max models.

In addition, the ZenFone 3 Deluxe will have both the 820 and 821 variants. However, he wasn't clear as to when each ZenFone 3 would be made available in Malaysia, so for now we assume we'll just be getting the first ZenFone 3, ZenFone 3 Ultra and ZenFone 3 Deluxe models first with the others following after. We'll find out more tomorrow, so stay tuned to TechNave.com.

It looks like Mr Anonymous managed to get some hands-on time with the upcoming ASUS ZenFone 3 and ZenFone 3 Ultra, set for release at the next ZenVolution on 6 August 2016. While there are no pics of the ZenFone 3 Deluxe, he confirms that Malaysia will be getting it and that there will be more information about the Deluxe tomorrow so stay tuned to TechNave.com.
