The smartphone's 5.5-inch Full HD IPS+ screen has a 72% screen-to-body ratio and its 3000mAh battery provides enough power to get through the day, and it also features BoostMaster fast-charge technology for reduced recharge times.

The phone will start at $199 USD, and will be available at Amazon.com, Groupon.com and NewEgg.com in the U.S., and NCIX.com, Canada Computer and Memory Express in Canada.

ASUS ZenBook UX305

Asus is also bringing the ZenBook UX305 to the North American market. It features an elegantly-tapered design with smooth edges and diamond-cut highlights that emphasize its 12.3mm-thin case - and it weighs 1.2kg.

A USB-to-Ethernet adapter is bundled with UX305, along with a mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter - enabling easy connection to an external monitor.
