When it hit the Chinese market, the Asus ZenFone 2 was also reflecting practically the same prices as when the device rolled out to its home market.
India is next
After Taiwan and China, the Asus ZenFone 2 will finally be launching on the Indian market very soon.
Asus actually took potshots at Chinese smartphone makers Xiaomi, OnePlus, and YU when it said that it will be launching its latest flagship smartphone in India without holding any so-called flash sales or invitations that the Chinese companies recently did in the Indian market, reports the Times of India.
The Taiwanese tech company hopes to make a big splash on the Indian market as much as it is currently doing in Taiwan and China, before it considers going to distant markets like Europe and the US.
Gaining a foothold in the Chinese and Indian markets shall spell big success for the Asus ZenFone 2 since the two countries are the world’s most populous nations and are considered real big markets.
Excellent features
The Asus ZenFone 2 has excellent features and performance, which goes well with its very competitive and quite affordable price, compared to the other smartphones of today.
The latest flagship smartphone from the Taiwanese tech company is believed to be loaded with the Android 5.0 Lollipop, with free upgrade to Android 5.1 Lollipop considering that Google has already released the firmware update early this month.
The Asus ZenFone 2 also has the 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, which is one of the most important features of some of the high-end flagship smartphones found in the market today.
As the key features of the other high-end smartphones are also highlighted in the next generation smartphone of the Taiwanese company, the Asus ZenFone 2 is expected to make a run for the honor in becoming the highest-selling smartphones in developing countries.
