MWC 2018
ASUS ZenFone 5 leak points to an entry-level phone
Possibly one of many models
Mobile World Congress (MWC) is still a few weeks away, but we’re already seeing leaks of the expected launches.
One of them is ASUS’ ZenFone 5 series, which comes only six months after the release of the ZenFone 4 family. While it’s unknown how many handsets will be unveiled from the initial set, we’re more or less assured to witness at least three.
The latest leak shows what could be a lower-end ZenFone 5, judging by the use of a micro-USB port and front design similar to that of the ZenFone Max Plus, which is the company’s first attempt at a near-borderless design.
The render reveals a dual-camera design at the back, which is now positioned vertically and found near the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. There’s also an audio port on top, meaning ASUS isn’t ditching the legacy connectivity just yet, and it’ll likely have an all-metal body based on the use of plastic antenna bands around the edges.
ASUS will have their grand reveal of the ZenFone 5 on February 27 during MWC 2018 in Barcelona, Spain. It’ll go up against the likes of Samsung’s Galaxy S9 and Nokia’s next major flagship.
Two years after making its big comeback, Nokia is slowly filling in the pieces of its Android smartphone lineup. The star of course has to be the new Nokia 8 Sirocco, the most premium from the announcements at Mobile World Congress.
But our favorite is the Nokia 7 Plus, a near-borderless Android One phone with Zeiss optics and a beautiful build.
In our Samsung Galaxy S9 Review video, we hope to answer questions you may have to help you make an informed decision before buying the phone.
Is Dual Aperture a gimmick? How good is the S9’s camera? S9 or S9+? Is it even worth it?

A new color, internal camera upgrades, and a few minor changes here and there don’t necessarily make the S9 look or feel new.
But is retaining the same beautiful, sleek design such a bad thing? Are the subtle improvements worth the high price tag? Is AR Emoji a gimmick?
YouTubers Mrwhosetheboss, Joshua Vergara, GadgetsBoy, GadgetsJon, The Tech Chap, David Imel, PC Centric, and Isa Rodriguez tell us what they think about the the Samsung Galaxy S9.
