₹8,000 Price drop of Asus ZenFone 5Z on Flipkart!




In India Smartphones are getting a lot of discount recently. Few days ago, Xiaomi give a permanent discount of 3,000 for Mi A2 to compete the other of the price segment. Then after that again Xiaomi offer discount on its two Note 5 Pro variants that they are selling in India in name of “Celebrating milestone with Note 5 series”. Again, a new celebration is here. In “ASUS Days”, Company is offering ₹8,000 price drops in its own Flagship ASUS ZenFone 5z from 9th to 11th January only on Flipkart.


It is obvious that India is very price sensitive market and ₹29,999 has pushed new consumer for ASUS away. But now with such a price a drop, I will say that, “ASUS has focused on Indian market lately and such sales are only going to help them to reach the Indian consumer”. ZenFone 5Z has launched in India back in July of last year with the starting price of ₹29,999 only for its base variant. This was really a flagship killer after OnePlus 6. But after the launch of Poco F1, this really got bad competition in term of Price, but it was still a better choice in respect of design and looks. But after price drop, I will say that it will a comeback for ZenFone 5. ASUS owners are happy with what company has produced and they are rolling of Android Pie via FOTA update in Taiwan last month. Company also said that Android Pie will rolled in India at end of January for their budget flagship.



The previous price has made difficult to reach to people even if it comes with Snapdragon 845 SoC. However, the discount sale may trigger people to buy this phone. The sale is available for 6GB of RAM/ 128GB of Internal storage and 8GB of RAM/ 256GB of internal storage model at only ₹24,999 and ₹29,999 respectively. Asus is also offering discount on the ZenFone Lite L1, ZenFone Max M1, ZenFone Max Pro M1on this “Asus Day”.
