The fall 2016-released Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe (model number ZS550KL) used to run Android Marshmallow, then Nougat, and now Oreo following a relatively early official upgrade.
The ZenFone 5 Lite, aka 5Q, is the only one of three new handsets unveiled by Asus at MWC 2018 that snubs the notch trend. It also has a grand total of four cameras. Not too shabby.
As promised back at CES 2018 in Las Vegas, the mid-range Asus ZenFone Max Plus (M1) is up for grabs in the US at $229, "full-view" 5.7-inch display and massive battery included.
While the Asus ZenFone 5 Lite is expected to feature two cameras on the front and two on the back, the "regular" ZenFone 5 aims to stand out with an iPhone X-"borrowed" notch.

Just in case you weren't confused enough, another Asus ZenFone 4 Max version has been leaked, a Pro benchmarked, and a "regular" one revealed in France.
The Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie and ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro are the latest members of the confusing Android device family launched with little to no fanfare.

Still not actually available stateside, the Daydream and Tango-powered Asus ZenFone AR is now up for grabs in India. And the ZenFone 4 is also nigh.
Despite a gigantic battery, decent build, surprising dual camera setup and respectable specs, the Asus ZenFone 4 Max has been unveiled with no fanfare.
