Asus: you could buy 6 ZenFones instead of one iPhone 6

iPhones have always been expensive. Thus, no one was surprised yesterday, when Apple announced prices for its new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Off-contract, the 4.7-inch model will start at $649, while the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus will start at $749.

Take Asus, for example, which today reminded users that they could buy 6 Android-based ZenFone handsets for the price of just one iPhone 6. The company posted the image that you’re seeing on the left on Facebook, alongside this question: “Which 6 is better - six ZenFones for the whole family, or one apple for yourself?”

Asus currently offers three different ZenFone models (a 4-inch, a 5-inch, and a 6-inch one) for prices starting at just a bit over $100. Sure enough, the ZenFones aren’t flagship devices. And yet the ZenFone 5 is somewhat comparable to the 4.7-inch iPhone 6, as its features include a 5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels, dual-core 2.0 GHz Intel Atom Z2580 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 8 MP rear camera, and 8 GB of expandable internal memory. All in all, Asus’ ZenFones are certainly worth a look if you don’t intend to spend too much money on your next smartphone.
