I don’t think this could break the specs of MEIZU M2 NOTE. The M2 Note has 1.3GHZ Octa-core processor, 13MP rear camera, 3100mAh battery and 5.5″ IGZO display with 403 ppi.

Kelan po kaya release neto sa PH? UNDER 6K! o_O I WANT YOU! AHAHAHA <3

fr3@ky_g · 11 years ago

Roughly 5K pesos in China. However, by the time taxes (Thanks BIR and Phil. Gov’t.) are applied to this it will be in the same price range as the Zenphone 5 or even more. :(

i hope yung video recording niya maayos. hindi tulad sa zenfone 5 na medyo stutter at lag kapag ginagalaw.

Andrew · 11 years ago

San nanaman galing yan 274ppi? 294 and ppi ng 5 inch 720p screen.

Mga readers yung mga nagsasabi na bat walang ganito ganyan something something… Try to research the product for wider specifications. Pano kung walang camera na nalagay jan yung Writer? Edi mag kagulo na sa page na to >.< – Research please~! Bago mag type a kung bakit wala o kung ano man. Kung wala talaga edi wala. Mamaya magkamali pa kayo sa sinasabi niyo about sa Device.

Tony · 11 years ago

Tama. Yung highlight lang naman kasi ang sinulat ng writer. Ang wala sa asus phones is radio lang naman. Meron ding rumors na incoming asus phone na may dual rear camera.

Nagsilabasan ang mga iyakin at bitter, LOL

Ex-Alodian Knight · 11 years ago

I hope this Pegasus is not a fantasy sa pinas.

And a MT6732 processor? Sounds like a 64-bit soc hence the good image processor mode.

igniculus · 11 years ago

aysus! kaloka mga tao dito!

a · 11 years ago

parang zte speed lang- may lte pero walang gps at nfc

napster84 · 11 years ago

does it have gyro, compass and other sensors? meron ang redmi 1s…

engot · 11 years ago

mas engot ka pala eh!
majority ng smartphone users hindi nag co-compass or nag gyro!

Asc · 11 years ago

reasons not to buy:

non removable batt
mediatek
2500 mah by asus :D

breakstaff · 11 years ago

Bakit mediatek? Kasi cheap sya na chipset but delivers better performance and capabilities :) i’ve been following mtks developement ever since and every release nila empressive ang reaults. Kahit dead boot na unit pag saksak mo sa pc may ding parin na sound revivable pa. Not in anybother chipset :)

qwerty · 11 years ago

Baka hindi i release to sa pinas kasi papatayin nito yung zenfone 5 at zenfone 5 lite.
unless babaan nila ng price ang zenfone 5 at zenfone 5 lite…..

zaver14 · 11 years ago

masmaganda pa rin yata zenfone 5 lite

q · 11 years ago

huh?!
masmaganda zenfone 5 lite? mag kalayo naman ng specs masmagda parin tong pegasus na to

zax · 11 years ago

ano daw?! masmaganda ang zenfone 5 lite sa pegasus?
tignan mo mabuti ang specs.
baka nakabili kna ng zenfone 5 lite. sorry ka nalang.

Z3LL · 11 years ago

wow mas maganda pala ang 2GB kesa 1GB?
mas maganda rin pala ata ang qHD(960 x 540) kesa sa FULL HD(1280 x 720)?
mas maganda rin siguro yung nonLTE kesa sa LTE?

di sana nagsingle-core 256mb wifi only na lang tayong lahat.

Kawawa Me · 11 years ago

Kakabili ko lng ng Zenfone 5 ko, tapos may lalabas na na mas maganda. Sayang :/

mimai ong · 11 years ago

onga sana di mo muna binili. kaya lang pag bibilhin mo na ang pegasus me lalabas na naman na mas maganda so maghintay ka na lang ulit kaya lang may lalabas na naman na mas maganda so maghintay ka na lang ulit kaya lang may lalabas na naman na mas maganda blah blah blah hayyy.

GANYAN TALAGA ANG GADGETS! GANYAN ANG BUHAY!

KUNG LAGI KA MAGHIHINTAY SA HINDI PA DUMARATING EH DI NGANGA KA!

IMBES NA MANGHINAYANG KA, GAMITIN MO NG GAMITIN KUNG ANO ANG MERON KA HINDI YUNG HINDI PA DUMARATING!

phillip · 11 years ago

Toooomoooooooo!

Aki · 11 years ago

Eivan · 11 years ago

Carl, the PadFone is the phone that docks into a tablet, and therefore isn’t in the same class as this Pegasus or the Zen. Perhaps you mean the FonePad? Not to worry, I still get confused as well

Carl Lamiel · 11 years ago

I guess so. Haha. Thanks!

Jan · 11 years ago

Kinorek ka na nga Carl, “I guess so haha thanks” nga sagot mo, di mo naman kinorek. I-reword mo kaya yang article mo. Kinopya niyo na nga lang di niyo pa i-proofread ng maigi yung dagdag niyo. Tsktsk.

Carl Lamiel · 11 years ago

But I did already :) The issue was just between a PadFone and a FonePad, so I don’t think there’s a need to reword the whole article? Happy Holidays!

And s tingin nyo masmaganda s overall specs? Eto o zenfone??

Rand El · 11 years ago

Will this be available here in the Ph Sir Mark??

Easy E · 11 years ago

China only?

Tony · 11 years ago

Kawawang Zenfone users! Hahahaha. Taz mediatek?! Ah ok. What i like of asus was the intel processor. Camera quality is the downside of most smartphones. Even 8MP or 13MP is still blurry. Despite it is packed with features like stabilization, etc.

anon daw · 11 years ago

Why kawawa?

archie · 11 years ago

Oo nga, bakit kawawa? Isip bata lang magcomment? Tsaka sa ibang foreign sites, Only in China lang daw ilalabas ito kaya di pa confirmed kung dadating to sa Pinas.
