Meet ASUS Zenfone AR that features 8GB RAM | First of its kind, View Specs.
The Asus Zenfone AR is a sleek, 5.7″ device with all the regular features of your modern-day smartphone: a high-res Quad HD display, a fingerprint scanner, and it’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 821 chipset aided by a whopping 8GB of RAM – This makes the Zenfone AR one of the first phones with 8 gigs of RAM on board, but it is really the augmented reality that is the king here.
The main snapper is a 23 MP unit using Sony’s IMX318 sensor, with OIS, EIS, and 4K video recording. Thanks to Google’s Tango requirements, on the back there’s also a motion tracking camera and a fisheye depth-sensing camera. Check out the full specs of the device below.
