Asus confirmed its ZenFone 5 series will be officially introduced on February 27, but it didn't reveal anything related to the upcoming smartphones. If you don't mind spoilers, we now have information about one of the ZenFone 5 handsets expected to be unveiled later this month.

Several pictures taken from a manual show the unannounced Asus ZenFone 5 from all angles. The information contained in the document also confirms the smartphone will feature a 5.7-inch display with 18:9 aspect ratio.

Asus hasn't dropped the 3.5mm audio jack, which is positioned on top of the smartphone. The microUSB port is included at the bottom between speaker and mic. The standard version of the ZenFone 5 might look like a mid-range handset hardware-wise, but variations of the smartphone could bring better specs.

We expect all ZenFone 5 series smartphones that will be revealed on February 27 to come with Android 8.0 Oreo on board. Details about price and availability are still MIA, but we can safely assume Asus will announce them at MWC 2018.
