Reaction to the Zenfone 3 line-up has been very positive. We have seen a few comments regarding the sizes of the Zenfone 3 series with a 5.5-inch, 5.7-inch and 6.8-inch size. Too much phone for you?

Have no fear. Asus in the near future will be announcing a 5.2-inch Zenfone 3 and a 5.2-inch Zenfone 3 Max. If you want smaller than that, then you may have to wait for updates to the Zenfone Go series, although you can now get models at 5-inches and smaller in some markets.
