The Asus ZenFone 4 line up recently started hitting major markets. And now it appears that the Taiwaese tech giant is working on a new mid-range phone with near bezel-free design/18:9 aspect ratio.

The color options listed are Star Black, Light Pink, and Gold color.

There is no word, when the Asus will unveil this device, but since it has received TENAA certification, an official announcement is not far away.
