IFA or Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin (International radio exhibition Berlin, aka ‘Berlin Radio Show’) is one of the oldest industrial exhibitions held annually in Germany in September. Moreover, it is considered as one of world’s leading trade shows for consumer electronics and home appliances. This year, IFA 2015 also happens in September as usual but promises to show many “unusual” ideas from various brands there, including ASUS.

Recently, ASUS has officially confirmed that the company will hold a press event of their own at IFA 2015 on Wednesday, September 2. Besides, ASUS also has just released a short teaser revealing what they are bringing to the show.

New ASUS Teaser: What should we expect?

In the video, alongside what looks to be some new computers, we caught a glimpse of a new smartphone and smartwatch. It can be a new ASUS ZenFone device featuring a textured button which is quite identical to the buttons many ASUS phones have been sporting currently. According to some rumors, this ASUS phone will belong to the mid-range category but come with top specs nowadays. Is it possible?

Apart from the new smartphone, as mentioned above, a few images of a smartwatch are also seen in the teaser. However, we are quite disappointed when realizing that it is the same ASUS ZenWatch 2, launched at Computex in June, 2015, and the same teaser clips used for the announcement video of the watch. Yet, one good thing is that the availability details for this product are likely to be unveiled on September 2.

Then, we are now looking forward to September 2, 2015 to see what technology companies will bring us. It is said that Samsung will go there with their new Samsung Gear S2 smartwatch and Huawei with a new “unique” smartphone (rumored to be Huawei Mate S). How about ASUS? Though the teaser somehow satisfied our curiosity a bit, we still prefer seeing things in person. Hopefully they are as awesome as ASUS ZenFone 2 4GB RAM!

Keep waiting! Just a few days to go!
