One of the best surprises from the CES2015 was definitely Asus Announcement of the Asus Zenfone 2. As an evolution to the Zenfone Lineup, the Asus Zenfone 2 was launched as a large 5.5″inch Full HD phone, with very impressive specs for a small price. Also Asus introduced the Asus Zenfone Zoom, but now there is news about a 5″ Version of the Asus Zenfone 2.

We had some Hands On time with the Asus Zenfone 2, and overall we are very impressed with Asus’s newest Flagship, especially in the 4GB RAM Version. While 5.5″ inch seems to be a very popular size in Asia, this large size will not be fitting for everyone though. Now Taiwanese News Site, SOGI is reporting that Asus might launch a 5″ version of the Asus Zenfone 2, right next after the 5.5″ Version Launch.

So far we dont have leaked images yet of the 5″ version of the Asus Zenfone 2 phone. Considering that Asus has launched the Asus Zenfone 4, 5 and 6 last year, we think it is very possible that ASus will launch different versions of their newest Flagship phone. If they want to reach as many customers as possible, clearly 5.5″ wont fit for everybody. Especially female customers might appreciate a smaller Zenfone 2.

Clearly the Asus Zenfone 2 is great, but not everybody wants to buy a large 5.5 inch phone. Launch a smaller 5inch version just shortly after, would be very smart of Asus in my opinion. The original Asus Zenfone 2 will sell for 200USD in the 2GB RAM version, so we would be very surprised if the 5 inch version would be much cheaper. 2015 will be definitely very interesting for Asus with the ASus Zenfwatch and Zenfone 2 coming up.
