ASUS Philippines has officially released the ZenFone 3 in the country. Its variant with a 5.2 inch display and 4GB of RAM has an official price of ₱16,995.00.

The higher-end variant with a larger 5.5 inch display and the same 4GB of RAM costs slightly more at ₱18,995.00. We can’t help but notice that these are pricier than the original ZenFone and ZenFone 2.

These prices are reasonable though. Both variants of the ZenFone 3 run a 2.0GHz octa core Snapdragon 625 processor and Android Marshmallow.

There’s also a 16 Megapixel main camera with laser autofocus and optical image stabilization, 4G LTE connectivity, fingerprint sensor, dual band Wi-Fi and a 3000mAh battery.

It will be available in ASUS stores, retailers and online shops.
