Asus Today announced the launch of a new variant of Zenfone 3 Deluxe with 6GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The new variant is also the first smartphone to come with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor.

All the phones of this series - Zenfone 3, Zenfone 3 Deluxe (4GB and 6 GB) and Zenfone 3 Ultra  will now available for pre-booking in Taiwan and will be shipped after July 29.

Asus first unveiled the ZenFone 3 Deluxe at Computex 2016, alongside the ZenFone 3 and ZenFone 3 Ultra phones.

At that time, the company had announced that the ZenFone 3 Deluxe has Snapdragon 820 inside, and it does.

Only now, it has announced a top-tier variant of the phone in question that crams in Snapdragon 821, 6 gigs of RAM and 256GB of memory.

The phone also supports expandable storage of up to 128GB via microSD card. The ZenFone 3, the ZenFone 3 Deluxe and the ZenFone 3 Ultra are without a doubt the most premium-looking phones that Asus has ever built.

Boasting of a full-metal unibody design replete with all the essentials you'd expect from a flagship smartphone in 2016, the new ZenFone 3s also achieve something that even the iPhone hasn't, yet  invisible antennas.

The Snapdragon 821-toting ZenFone 3 Deluxe has been priced at $780 which roughly translates to Rs 52,389.
