Just days ahead of Galaxy S9+ launch.
An early render of the ZenFone 5 (ZE620KL) has been leaked by WinFuture.de. The render suggests the presence of a thin-bezel display on the ZenFone handset that sports a notch on the top. While the notch is similar to the one featured on the Face ID. Furthermore, the display is touted to have 18:9 aspect ratio with full-HD+ (1080x2160 pixels) resolution.
The ZenFone 5 is rumoured to run Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box and come with a USB Type-C port as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack. On the back, the leaked render shows that the smartphone has a fingerprint sensor and a dual camera setup.

Apart from the flagship ZenFone 5, Asus is in the headlines for planning the launch of the ZenFone 5 Lite. There may not be many similarities between the two new ZenFone models, though WinFuture.de claims that both new handsets will come with aluminium and glass build and have dual SIM variants for certain markets. The ZenFone 5 Lite is also rumoured to have a full-HD+ display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and four camera sensors - two on the back and two on the front.
Details about the price and availability of the ZenFone 5 are yet to emerge. Meanwhile, we can expect some more rumours to hit the Web world.
