    ASUS ZenFone 5 preview hands-on

    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.

    Rumours: ASUS ZenFone Malaysia release date and pricing revealed?

    The recently announced ASUS ZenFone smartphones offer some really interesting features with the ZenFone UI being one of them, but what many Malaysians are most interested in is the price and when or if the ZenFone 4, 5 and 6 will arrive in Malaysia. Recently, we heard some news that the ASUS ZenFone range could be coming to Malaysia in April 2014 direct from ASUS Malaysia. Furthermore, we received an anonymous tip that the ASUS ZenFone 4 could be priced from RM250 while the ASUS ZenFone 5 could get a price range of around RM450 to RM700. The larger ASUS ZenFone 6 phablet could go for around RM700 to RM900 with the overall pricing expected to be below RM1K. US pricing for the ZenFone range was $99 (RM324) for the ZenFone 4, $149 (RM487) for the ZenFone 5 and $199 (RM651) for the ZenFone 6. While you should take every rumour with a pinch of salt, we think this is a very exciting rumour nonetheless especially for fellow Malaysians looking for a good deal (and a good yet affordable smartphone). In the meantime check out the tech specs and video in this article for a refresher of the ASUS ZenFone 4, 5 and 6 smartphones.
