Asus CEO confirms: Zenfone 3 coming next month at bargain prices

We will have to wait longer than expected a few days to see the debut of the next ZenFone 3 smartphone from the price being very low in spite of the sophisticated technical features. To talk about this time is the company's CEO, Jerry Shen, who said that the smartphone will arrive in June. The company is planning an event for next May 30, Zenvolution, which will most likely be present for the first time devices.

But there will be an Intel processor under the body, despite the logo that stands in the count-down of the event page Zenvolution. According to he revealed the company's CEO "over 90% of the ZenFone 3 smartphone will adopt a Qualcomm processor, while the remaining 10% will use MediaTek technology". The choice of new partners "will not sacrifice the Asus profit margins," he finally stated Jerry Shen according to a statement published by DigiTimes.

The CEO of the company also stressed that the new policy will not affect the Intel Asus smartphone production, of course, referring to the abandonment of the smartphone by the semiconductor manufacturer sector. Asus has seen a growth of almost 40% with regard to the sales of smartphones in the last quarter year on year, thanks to the excellent results obtained in Europe, Southeast Asia, Brazil and Russia.

Growth will remain flat, according to Shen, in the second quarter due to the transition to new models of phones. The latter will be placed in the same market segments of predecessors in order to compete with brands such as Huawei and Oppo in the market segments around $ 300. We were recently spotted two devices attributable to ZenFone family 3: Z010DD with 5.9 inch HD display, Snapdragon 615 octa-core CPU with 3GB of RAM; and Z012D with display from 5.5 "Full HD and hexa-core Snapdragon processor 650, which also has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.

Both should boast a more polished design with metal frame and two glass "sandwich panels".

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
