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.

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.

Kit Harington Confirms He Filmed New Game of Thrones Scenes, But Only As A Dead Body

We're hardly waiting for it, Game of Thrones. We all know Jon Snow will be back in some shape or form this season, and at this point we're ready for the show to just come back already and stop teasing us. Enough with the cagey interviews, the oh-look-everyone-is-dead promos, and all the other taunting we've had to put up with for the past year. Just give us our beautiful show and let us be shocked in peace! Kit Harington, the portrayer of the dead guy in question, is the one who's confusing us this time. Instead of just saying "you'll have to wait and see," or some other kind of spoiler-free stock answer about future plot points (like he gave last time he was asked), Harington is now just feeding us lies.

I'm definitely not in the new series,...
