If you’re one of those who can’t wait to get their hands on the new ASUS Zenfone 3 Zoom, then worry no more. The Taiwanese company has just opened its pre-order page for those who want to be the first in line for the device but there’s a catch.
Well, the official price is set to be announced on the launch day itself — April 6th. If you want to place a pre-order now, simply head to their website and fill up the required fields.

nice to hear it
A preorder without price. What if, it’s priced too high, or can’t afford it. While there’s the option of not claiming the item, a preorder is a valid contract, and while it’s unlikely Asus Philippines will sue, it still doesn’t feels right.
At the very least, they should provide a price range.
You still have the option to buy it or not. There is no binding clause in the pre-oder form. You may choose to void it after the validity period.
