According to GSMArena‘s sources, at the unveiling event of the Pegasus 3S in Taiwan earlier, ASUS mentioned the pricing for the company’s most anticipated dual camera handset, the Zenfone 3 Zoom.

Unfortunately, only the top-end model (4GB RAM, 128GB storage) has a price tag at the moment, at a whopping CNY 3,699, which is around Php 26,500, roughly converted. That places the Zenfone 3 Zoom, at least the top-tier variant, at the same price tier as its predecessor, the Zenfone Zoom that launched with a Php 26,995 price tag.

Of course, it’s almost a given that the Zoom’s lower-end models with 3GB RAM and 32GB/64GB internal storage will be cheaper with sub-Php 27K pricing. How much cheaper? Only ASUS can tell at this point. We’ll most likely have to wait for the handset’s official release in February to find out unless “leaksters” manage to get their hands on the pricing scheme.
Here’s a quick specs recap of what to expect with the upcoming Zenfone 3 Zoom.
