Asus India is finally kicking into action very soon, and the company’s first smartphone in a long time is going to be unveiled on February 28. Asus 8Z smartphone made its global debut in May 2021 but the company couldn’t bring it to the Indian market owing to the pandemic which disrupted its supply chain. So, instead of launching its next version, the Asus 8Z is going to be unveiled in a few days via its social media channel.
Asus 8Z Launch Date In India And Expected Price
Asus 8Z is confirmed to launch at 12PM on February 28, as revealed by the company’s official Twitter handle on Friday. This smartphone carries last year’s Snapdragon 888 SoC which is now two-generations older. And going by the market trends, we are hoping Asus 8Z could be introduced for buyers in the sub-Rs 45,000 bracket so that it stands a chance against other fresher devices.
