Asus Zenfone 3 Go Specs: Design, EUR 150 Price Revealed Before May Release

The Asus Zenfone 3 Go is slated to roll out sometime in May 2017 for EUR 150. Apparently, the Asus Zenfone 3 Go is going to be a revival of the "Go" budget phones with the more modern aesthetics of the Zenfone 3 lineup. The company also revealed its target growth in the smartphone market for this year.

With its imminent release, Asus Zenfone 3 Go leaks have already been spotted online. Apparently, the handset would see features from the Go line last seen in 2015. It should be noted that the original Go phone bore the Zenfone 2 design language with a bulky arching back and a main camera that is horizontally centered.

The new Asus Zenfone 3 Go, on the other hand, is believed to sport similarities with the Zenfone 3 phones. Hence, the Asus Zenfone 3 Go is expected to launch with a flat back and a brushed metal finish with no rear-mounted button and physical controls on the front. Additionally, the camera design may be smaller, circular in shape and positioned near the edge.

Leaked reports further claim that the Asus Zen 3 Go would sport a 5-inch display with 720p resolution, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage and a Snapdragon 410 chipset. The Asus Zen 3 Go may also include a 13MP main and 5MP selfie camera with soft LED flash. Rumor has it that the Asus Zen 3 Go would make an official appearance at the Mobile World Congress 2017 this month, GSM Arena reported.

In other news, the local operating unit of the Asus Zenfone 3 Go maker, Asustek Computer Thailand revealed expected gains in the smartphone market this year. The company aims to sustain the robust revenue growth pace of 20 percent for 2017, Bangkok Post reported. Note that despite the demand for gaming PCs, the smartphone industry is still a healthy market.

Asus Zenfone 3 Go is expected to sell well in the market along the lines of other smartphones like Oppo. Moreover, the country manager of Asustek Computer Thailand Jeff Lo revealed confidence in sustaining the revenue growth from last year. It should be noted that the company had a flat growth back in 2015. Watch the leaks here:
