Talking about the Zenfone 3 Go, it comes with a metal built body featuring a 2.5D glass on the front. Asus is marketing the device which can make the live streams look beautiful.
The device will be offering beautification mode for the Facebook and YouTube live videos. To make the audio clearer during the video calls and video chats, the company is offering dual MEMS mics and five-magnet speaker with the built-in smart amp. While the recently launched Zenfone G0 5.0 LTE came with a rear facing volume rocker button; the Zenfone 3 Go sticks to the standard placement.
