Asus ZenFone 5Z heading to US August 13, up for pre-order now for $500

Asus' latest flagship phone, the Asus ZenFone 5Z, is now available for pre-order in the U.S (via GSMArena). The smartphone was first shown off way back at MWC 2018 in February, and was launched in India earlier this month, but it's heading to the U.S. on August 13.

Editor's Pick

The 6.2-inch device costs $499 on Amazon with full U.S. warranty, and it's available in Midnight Blue (no sign of its grey color variant yet). It's packing premium hardware like the Snapdragon 845 chipset, 6GB of RAM, and 12MP+8MP rear cameras, and it looks great.

With the wealth of high-quality Android smartphones we've seen since MWC, however, it might be hard for Asus to get folks excited about the 5Z at this point in the year — even with its smart features and impressive audio.
