A new Asus ZenFone smartphone by the model number Z00EDB has been certified in China by TENAA. While it does follow the same design as the ZenFone 2, it isn’t the same as it has what looks like an IR blaster or IR tracker for the camera.
Some sources have reported the phone as the ZenFone 3 but we aren’t sure whether it actually is. The ZenFone 2 is still pretty new to the market and this is likely to be an updated version or a slightly different model.
The phone has a 5 inch display with 720p resolution. It is powered by a 64bit quad-core CPU clocked in at 1.2GHz and Mali GPU. There is 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory that can be expanded using a microSD card slot.
The main camera is an 8 Megapixel unit with a dual-tone LED flash and 5 Megapixel camera on the front. The handset will support 3G and will come pre-loaded with Android 5.0 Lollipop. It apparently has a metal construction and will be available in White, Black, Red, Blue, Purple, Gold and Silver.
