Asus didn’t waste any time here. Right after the official Taiwan event, the Zenfone AR is available immediately. We posted those details here if you’re interested in owning this phone first.
Zenfone AR price in Taiwan (no contract): NT$24,990

The Zenfone AR is packed with every top end piece of hardware that you could want. The only minor (see below) quibble might be that it has a Snapdragon 821 vs. the newest Snapdragon 835. However, check out the benchmarks here which show that this Snapdragon 821 is a variant of the processor which Qualcomm optimized for the Project Tango and Daydream features. To put it simply, this is no ordinary Snapdragon 821.
We don’t currently have a translation for the above slide, but FPS indicates frames-per-second and the Zenfone AR is up against the Snapdragon 835 which you can see, barely beats the Asus phone. Look also at the LG G6 which has a different 821 variant which scores quite a lot lower here.
This phone is pretty much the most feature packed Zenfone ever released. Hard to argue against that! It has a 128GB storage, 8GB RAM, and an incredible 2K Super AMOLED display at 2560 x 1440 resolution. The highest resolution Zenfone to date by the way!
More details on other countries getting the Zenfone AR. Again, if you want to shop and possibly buy one out of Taiwan, you can certainly do that. Full details here.
