Asus Zenfone 5Z Now Takes on the Redmi K20 and Poco F1

The Zenfone 5Z is the flagship smartphone from Asus and it’s powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. The price cut comes right after the launch of Redmi K20 which starts at Rs 21,999 and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 chipset. On the other hand, the Poco F1 is currently available for purchase at a starting price of Rs 17,999. During the ongoing Mi Fifth Anniversary celebrations, the 8GB+256GB variant of the Poco F1 is available for an incredibly low price of Rs 22,999.

Feeling the pressure of the price drops on Poco F1, Asus has slashed the Zenfone 5Z prices in India.

Earlier, Asus sold the same variants at Rs 27,999 and Rs 31,999. There’s no update from Asus on whether it will bring back the 6GB+64GB variant of the Zenfone 5Z or not.
