The pricing of the device will be critical to its acceptance in India. Fortunately, we got a sneak-peek at the exact pricing of the device. Since the device hasn't been launched officially, take the information with a grain of salt. Flipkart seemed to accidentally list the Zenfone 5z on its website with the prices. The base variant with 6GB RAM and 64GB of storage at Rs 29,999. The second variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage at Rs 32,999 and the top variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage at Rs 36,999. Earlier we were expecting the device to be priced slightly higher than the prices that were revealed in the listing.
The phone was unveiled at the MWC 2018. Asus Zenfone 5z comes with flagship specifications and can give OnePlus 6 a run for its money if it is launched at the same price point. The device features a Snapdragon 845 chipset assisted by Adreno 630.
