Asus has an event scheduled for 28th October – and it could well be that we’ll be getting our first official look at new ZenFone and ZenWatch models.
But now, its Japan branch has released a handful of teaser images that hint – maybe – at a new ZenWatch, as well as a new ZenFone. The other possibility is that the watch is the model we already saw at IFA, rather than a brand new smartwatch.
Being optimistic
Looking at things optimistically, we could be seeing a new variant of the ZenWatch with different (i.e. better) specs than the one we’ve already seen.
The ZenWatch sports a 1.63in AMOLED display with a 320 x 320 resolution (resulting in a pixel density of 278ppi), in addition to a Snapdragon 400 chipset with a 1.2GHz CPU and 512MB of RAM. Not bad, but we’re hoping that if there’s a new ZenWatch it ups its game on the spec front.
As for the ZenFone unveiling, rumours have indicated at the company crafting up a 5.5in ZenFone device, which is predicted to debut at CES 2015 but we’re secretly hoping Asus is already done with it and ready to bring it to market. We’ve got a week more to speculate what’s coming before Asus confirms it for us.
