Yes, even though ASUS Philippines has announced when the ZenFones will arrive, they are yet to announce how much each device will retail for. An ASUS executive told us that the price will be very competitive, especially for the most affordable of the three, the ZenFone 4, capable of challenging the price of local players. That’s quite a promise, and we’ll be holding ASUS Philippines to that later on.
