According to China's Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center (aka TENAA), the X00GD runs Android 7.0 Nougat, so it could become the very first Asus phone to ship with Nougat out of the box.
Measuring 149.5 x 73.7 x 8.85 mm and weighing 169 grams, the new Asus smartphone is powered by an octa-core 1.5 GHz processor of unknown provenience, further featuring an 8 MP front-facing camera, a 13 MP rear camera with dual LED flash, and microSD card support. It looks like the phone has several variants - with 2 GB, 3 GB, or 4 GB of RAM, and 16 GB, 32 GB, or 64 GB of storage space.
While we don't have evidence to support this, the X00GD might be a member of Asus' upcoming ZenFone 4 family, which is expected to debut in 2017 (following the ZenFone 3 series released this year).
Asus already confirmed that it would announce new ZenFone handsets at CES 2017 next week, so we might see this interesting X00GD then. We'll probably also see a new ZenFone Zoom at CES. Stay tuned!

Wide bezels, typical of Asus. This phone with a 5.2 inch display and 73.7 mm width is a millimetre WIDER than the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with its 5.5 inch display!! Why so wide?? Comparing it with Huawei's P9, also a 5.2 inch phone, it is only 70.9 mm wide - nearly 3 mm less wide. The whole point of a compact phone is defeated by wide bezels. Asus makes their tablets with ultra wide bezels as well so I guess it's a company theme.

This is probably a low-end phone from Asus and low-end phones typically have boring designs and extra large bezels except low-ends from Meizu and Xiaomi.. Take a look at Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe, it is a great looking phone and the bezels are tiny compared to this thing.

Remember when the US was the manufacturing king of the world? No. You young gentrified yuppies don't know anything about America before 2005. WE invented the integrated circuit at Bell Labs in NJ in 1969.... WE invented the first PC. WE invented the telephone! WE invented the first dial tone at Bell Labs, NJ. WE invented C and C++ to WRITE UNIX for the phone company. iOS is derived from UNIX. Linux and Android are derived from UNIX... NOW you corporate oligarchs have outsourced all you manufacturing jobs to Commie China!
