ASUS's theme of this year is the notch (protrusion) of "iPhone X".So, of course, I cut the "ZenFone 5Z" near the release.It is perfect if you add anime emoji and face authentication function.ASUS actually seems to be proud of this notch, and the latest model announcement event had many mentions to the notch (the 5z notch is smaller than the iPhone X).But do you need a notch on your smartphone in the first place?Anyway, there is no doubt that ASUS will push the iPhone -style design.No one will complain in terms of price.Despite being equipped with the strongest mobile chip "Snapdragon 845" in history, only $ 500 (about 5).30,000 yen) and half price of iPhone X.The release is scheduled for this summer.
