Asus Zenfone 2 Malaysia release date: 21 April or 09 May ?
Let’s talk about a topic that has confused many of you and quite frankly us too, the Asus Zenfone 2 Malaysia Release Date.
We are in steady contact with Asus Malaysia to always bring you the most updated content and news. The first Message we got for the Zenfone 2 Malaysia Release Date was early Q2 2015. Since the Q2 starts in April, eveything hinted at April 2015.
Our next message from the contact at Asus Malaysia said, that the Release Date for the Region including Malaysia would be 21 of April. This date, while later as expected confirms the launchf for other countries as the Zenfone 2 India Launch Date on 24.4. We even got an invitation for the Asus Zenfone 2 Launch.
Now things get confusing though. We did our best to stay ahead of the news and even get an Zenfone 2 Malaysia Review Version ahead of the Malaysia Release Date. Our contact at Asus Malaysia got back to us with a message about a Consumer Event on 9th May:
“Dear Media friends, Something incredible is happening in town – coming soon to you! We will be revealing more info on this consumer event & its activities as time comes. Meanwhile, do register now @ http://bit.ly/incredible-zen-day”
This means that on 9th May 2015 there will be an Asus Zenfone 2 Consumer Event, not more not less. A few media outlets take this as a confirmation for an official Launch in Malaysia. We disagree with this, since the Regional Launch is way ahead on 21.4 including Malaysia.
Overall we agree though – the message that Asus Malaysia gives to their fans and customers is more then ominous. While they can probably allow themselves some freedom with an awesome device like the Zenfone 2, many of you are asking for more information and clarity on the Asus Zenfone 2 Release Date.
We expect Asus Malaysia to Launch all three Zenfone 2 Versions, the ZE551 ML, ZE550ML and ZE550CL
In terms of Asus Zenfone 2 Malaysia pricing, our contact said “hopefully the Zenfone 2 will be priced from RM 800-1100″. If Asus brings their highest Version, the Zenfone 2 Ze551ml with 4GB RAM for RM1099, many fans might just forget the late launch. This would surely be a strong Hotseller for Malaysia After all there is not much competition. Even the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro is expected to sell around RM1800-2000 at a distant Malaysia Launch.
As soon as we have more exact infos about the official Asus Zenfone 2 Malaysia Release Date, well update for you. Of course it could mean we are wrong and after all Asus Zenfone 2 will just come to Malaysian Stores in Middle of May. This would be pretty disappointing. We still think it would be worth the wait and keep our hopes up!
Meanwhile if anyone of you has inside information please come forward 🙂 We stay in contact with our sources at Asus Malaysia.
