Jeesuz! The Intel SoC can only be beaten by a Snapdragon 810 or possibly an 808, neither of which appear to be the " lower end chip set " Asus is planning to throw into the ZF2! We're screwed if they release individual variants only, in India! For, correct me if I'm wrong but I really don't see any mediatek SoC rivalling the 810 :(

Asus should at least release a 4gb version with s805 or z380 in India

Wow! Asus is the dumbest company I've ever seen... They are switching SoC's just because some countries don't support 4G LTE yet, what about power? We all know mediatek makes crappy chips ajd the SD counter part won't be any better than 410! The market strategists have gone nutz I suppose. I don't know about other countries but they will surely earn a great loss in Indian market.
But I don't think there is any reason to worry as it isn't been official announced that Intel based version won't be available. The MCW will be the place to keep an eye on. And my fellow Indian brothers and sisters I'm almost positive that the Intel version will be available India because the Indian market is a backbone if Zenfone series!
Fingers crossed!

Punisher, 13 Feb 2015Asus must make this phone in Europe to get grip of market. ... moreThe Mediatek variant will only be released in regions that do not support LTE connectivity. LTE-powered areas are pretty numerous in Europe and the Americas. I'm pretty sure they are going to release the Intel variant there.

AnonD-355394, 13 Feb 2015Dear Asus,if you launch mediatek based asus zenfone 2 in in... moreBoth the Intel and the Mediatek variants will be made available in India (not sure about Qualcomm). It's just that there are a number of regions in India that does not support LTE, and as a result, most consumers from those areas might simply opt for cheaper HSPA phones. To eliminate the competition, Asus decided to release a 3G-only Mediatek-powered variant with these regions in mind.

Anonymous, 13 Feb 2015WTF?! how about the philippines? mediatek is obviously bett... moreYou, sir, seem to be badly misinformed. And given the highly acclaimed presence of the first-generation Zenfones in the Philippines, I trust Asus will release it as early as they deem intelligent.

The problem with mediatek is that there highest SoC are based on lowest configuration. Like a53 octacore

Zenfone 2 I
Zenfone 2 Q
Zenfone 2 M
Going for MTK, hopefully MT6752 or MT6795 64-bit octacore w/ mali T760. With price point of $200-250. If these are mid range chips, I don't want to go high end :)

Anonymous, 13 Feb 2015Mediatek is the worst when compared with Intel and Qualcomm.With 64 bit mediatek is the king of the hill. Qualcomm overheats, intel does not even compete (slow, buggy) and Mediatek is cool and fast. See this between two mid rangers: http://www.gizchina.com/2015/02/09/mediatek-mt6752-vs-snapdragon-615/
It would be a sad day for those buying the Qualcomm parts realizing that they bought into worse battery and performance.
In 64 bit it's like this: Apple>Samsung>Mediatek>Qualcomm>Intel.
Yeah Intel is dead last, maybe alongside nVidia, those two can hardly make socs suited for phones, they're slow, ugly, buggy.

Intel, Qualcomm, Mediatek.. Whatever makes it better is fine by me. What I don't get is why can't Asus include a backlit capacitive touch button on these. 'Hope I'm wrong, cause it' s difficult to see those buttons in the dark without guessing. Are they that expensive?
