Incredible indeed comes to Manila and it is time to #SeeWhatOthersCantSee!
Yesterday I was happy to join other bloggers, members of the press, and gadget enthusiasts at the Experience 2Morrow Press event held at the World Trade Center as ASUS finally announced the arrival of its newest flagship smartphone ~ ZenPhone 2. ASUS CEO Jerry Shen flew to Manila to lead the momentous occasion. ASUS bigwigs including PixelMaster David Woo, as well as industry partners Intel, represented by General Manager Calum Chisolm, were also present.
ASUS, a worldwide top 3 consumers notebook vendor and maker of the world’s best-selling and most-awarded motherboards, also boasts of being the Top Smartphone Brand in Taiwan dominating the market for 3 consecutive quarters. Driven by innovation and committed to quality, ASUS also prides itself as being one of the leading Smartphone brands in several different countries, landing in the 3rd spot of the leading foreign smartphone brands in the Philippines. With an estimated 2014 revenue of $14.5B, ASUS also employs more than 13,600 people around the world, 4,500 of whom are engineers behind their world class Research & Development team.
The highly-anticipated unveiling of the latest ZenPhone model was also graced by the new ZenPhone Online Ambassador, model, trendsetter, host and blogger, Kim Jones. ZenPhone’s lovable mascot, Zenny, as well as the beauteous ZenPhone girls, was also present to give more color and fun vibe to the occasion.
A closer look at ASUS ZenPhone 2
The highly-anticipated ZenPhone 2 boasts of the following outstanding features:
- an exclusive {not to mention, impressive} Ergonomic Arc design
- 3.9mm ultrathin edges
- a 13MP PixelMaster Camera with top notch Backlight {Super HDR}, Daylight, and Lowlight Photography
- the notable Zenflash
- a 3000mAh battery
- an Ultra-Wide 140-degree Selfie Panorama perfect for those who love to take their selfies 🙂
- it is powered by the latest 64-bit Intel Atom Z3580 2.3 GHz Processor
- it is the world’s 1st smartphone with 4GB Memory
- the BoostMaster Fast Charging Technology
- it comes in several beautiful Zen designs and colors
- it also has affordable top notch ASUS original accessories
David Woo’s animated demonstration about ZenPhone 2’s outstanding camera feature won me over. I thought if I had a smartphone that allows me to take good-quality photos {especially while out covering events or making memories with the little man}, what more can I really ask for, and ZenPhone 2 is easily a shoe in!
I am not much of a techie but I sure can tell that ZenPhone 2 will be such a hit in the Philippine market. With its impressive camera features, paired with fast-charging capabilities, and backed up with outstanding software and hardware features like a huge memory and a great processor, it is perfect for anyone who enjoys maximizing their smartphone’s features, using mobile apps and games, updating their numerous social media accounts, and taking loads of photos.

Asus has been my PC component manufacturer of choice since Abit went out of business. Their build quality is second to none. I was really excited for the PadFone X, wish they could have got it to the States quicker. The new ZenPhone looks awesome too, especially the top end hardware one.
