Cast your mind back to CES, do you remember the 5.5-inch Asus ZenFone 2, well that powerful beast could come in a smaller 5-inch form factor too!
The Asus Zenfone 2 really impressed us at CES. The latest Asus phone has a very attractive, high-class design, and specifications to match. Just to re-cap those specs include up to 4GB RAM, 13 mega-pixel F2.0 rear camera, 3000mAh battery, LTE and a 64bit Intel Atom processor.
Gizchina News of the week
Now today over in Taiwan, news sites are talking about the possibility of the Zenfone 2 coming in a more compact 5-inch form factor. Smaller 5-inch phones are still rather popular, and it is getting more difficult to find a decent smaller phone these days and a smaller Zenfone 2 could fill the gap.
The issue is will Asus take the usual path with their ‘mini’ Zenfone 2 and downgrade the hardware to meet a lower price point, or will Asus keep the killer hardware untouched?

Also very impressed with Asus ZenFone 2… if they decide to do such thing it will be a huge plus, I think.
Hope 5 inch version will retain screen/bezel ratio as in the 5.5 version. Previous ZenFone 5 was terrible on that side
Is there even an eta for the 5.5 model? They should release that one first then talk about about smaller model.
