After teasing the launch of the Zenfone AR smartphone that is compatible with both Tango AR platform and Google’s Daydream VR platform, Asus today confirmed that it will launch phone in India on July 13th. Even though this was announced as the world’s first smartphone with 8GB of RAM, the OnePlus 5 that was launched in India recently was the first smartphone to go on sale in the country with 8GB RAM.
