Jerry Shen, the Asus CEO, has confirmed the release of the successor to the Asus ZenFone 2 next month. The ZenFone 3, ZenFone 3 Deluxe and ZenFone 3 Max were expected to arrive at the upcoming Computex 2016 event, which is scheduled to start on May 31.

Now, the company has set the ZenFone 3 release date for June 2016. However, Shen did not mention any specific date for the launch of the forthcoming ZenFone family, targeting the mid-range market.

According to DigiTimes (via Phone Arena), Shen revealed that the company would mostly use Qualcomm and MediaTek chipsets to power the new ZenFone 3 lineup. He also clarified that in this year, 90 percent of the ZenFone 3 smartphones will be powered by a Qualcomm processor while only 10 percent devices will be shipped with a MediaTek processor onboard.

From August 2016, the ZenFone 3 smartphones will be available in six countries, confirmed Shen, as reported by the Taiwanese publication. But there is no confirmation if the smartphone will hit the shores of Australia. This year, the Asus ZenFone 3 price may also increase across the board.

The company predicts that about two-thirds of the global ZenFone 3 family shipments will be accounted by ZenFone 3 Max. Earlier in January, two ZenFone 3 smartphones were spotted in GFX benchmark listings.

According to the listing, the Zenfone 3 variant codenamed Asus Z010DD will sport a 5.9-inch display with a screen resolution of 1,280x720 pixels. Powered by a 1.5GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SoC paired with Adreno 405 GPU and 2GB/3GB of RAM, the smartphone will be shipped with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out-of-the-box. This variant is believed to be the Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe.

Another handset which is believed to be the Asus ZenFone 3 bears a codename Asus Z012D in the benchmark listing. The device is listed with a 5.5-inch Full-HD display with 1920x1,080 pixels in the benchmarking site. Other specs of the purported Asus ZenFone 3 include a hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 processor, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of in-built storage.

Nigerian army Claims the Second Rescue of Chibok Girl

A second schoolgirl that was seized in the Nigerian town of Chibok has been found, the army says. But a spokesman for the Chibok girls' parents has cast doubt on the claims, saying that the girl's name is not on the families' list of those missing. An army spokesman said Serah Luka was among a group of 97 women and children rescued by troops in the north-east. Islamist militant group Boko Haram has abducted thousands of other girls in recent years, rights groups estimate. This comes two days after the rescue of the first Chibok girl, Amina Ali Nkeki. The army has previously given misleading statements about the rescue of the Chibok girls - in its initial statement after Ms Nkeki was found, it used a wrong name. In all, 218 girls remain missing after their abduction by the Boko Haram Islamist group from Chibok secondary school in north-eastern Nigeria in 2014. Ms Nkeki told a Chibok community leader that six of the kidnapped girls had died, but...

Hong Kong Lunar New Year Celebrations Erupt in Violence as Police Clear Food Stalls

Hong Kong's Lunar New Year celebrations have descended into chaos as police leared illegal food stalls set up on a busy junction for Lunar New Year celebrations, leaving dozens injured or arrested. Riot police used batons and pepper spray and fired warning shots into the air early on Tuesday after authorities tried to move illegal street vendors from a district in the city. Protesters hurled bricks at police as scuffles broke out, while other demonstrators set fire to rubbish bins in the streets of Mong Kok, a gritty neighbourhood across the harbour from the heart of the Asian financial centre. A police statement said that three men aged 27 to 35 were arrested for assaulting a police officer and obstructing police, while another three police officers received hospital treatment. Broadcaster RTHK said later that 24 people had been arrested. The scuffles broke out after police moved in to clear "hawkers", or illegal vendors who sell local delicacies, trinkets and ...

Ted Cruz Loses Over Three Consecutive Trump Victories

Real estate mogul Donald Trump received victory over top rivals Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) in Tuesday's Nevada GOP caucus, setting up a particularly difficult road ahead for Cruz. Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) speaks during a campaign event in Las Vegas on Monday. (JOSH EDELSON via Getty Images on Monday)   Trump has now won three straight state contests and appears to be barreling toward the Republican presidential nomination, while Cruz has only won one state, Iowa. Cruz's campaign had hoped to eke out a win in Nevada based on the strength of his political organization and ground game, which helped lead him to a similar victory in the Iowa caucus earlier this month. The caucus format relies on turning out voters who are engaged enough to spend several hours participating in the political process. By contrast, Trump has lagged behind Cruz and Rubio in his organizing efforts, and political observers expre...
