Asus to release Qualcomm and Mediatek-powered Zenfone 2

so my take on all this is, Asus might have gone in CES 2015 with a new device that their team built. when they reached there, they might not had any idea of what intel SOC costs, so what they might have done is to price 1 version, namely the one with 2 GB RAM, 1080 Px 5.5 inch screen and the intel Z3560 version as 199 without asking their sales dept
after they might have come back, they must have realized that intel SOC cost more and they might have only been making like 20 bucks off the device. some wise guy from marketing might have then suggested, ok, lets do this
1st world gets Snapdragon, we can increase the price with higher snapdragon SOC or lower price with lower basic versions. so we are covered
countries like our own, daddy China get what we stated to save face, we will make less but keep our word. countries like India and other SE Asian ones, sell them Mediatek, they are fools and wont know what hit them
for others like US,EU, lets wait and watch how they react to our press and then decide.
so this is how asus is now saving face from the major screwup they did

ammu, 13 Feb 2015can anybody clear my doubt ??
In India which version is go... moreit will be mediatek version in India not Intel version. from what this article claims.
i dont think if they launch mediatek versions in India they will get much sales like last generation of zenfones. people have more options now as they have snapdragon 410 versions which cost less than 199$ price quote and in India price will be around 240$ with taxes and duty

This is some strange news. I don't think that this news came from reliable source. It doesn't make any sense. How would mediatek compete with same model. Even zenfone c is more powerful then mediatek variant. For Qualcomm I understand cause of broad support and because qualcomm need money bad because of China drama 1 billion. But mediatek doesn't make any sense. Hope they don't screw this up, ASUS GET A GRIP. They already stated that Intel z3560 2gb ram 16 GB storage 1080p would cost 199$ for that configuration. If they change anything about that then its false marketing which is a felony. I think they will use mediatek just because its in same country and mediatek is kissing ass to Asus to use their chip
