Asus X002 with 64-bit CPU and LTE uncovered

Asus has had success with its Zenfone series and a new edition may have passed through TENAA and GFXBench. Known only as the Asus X002, the phone has a 5" 720p screen and a quad-core 64-bit processor.

The phone runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat and is based on a MediaTek MT6732 chipset, which packs for Cortex-A53 cores at 1.5GHz and Mali-T760 GPU. The specs on RAM differ – GFX says 2GB, TENAA just 1GB, but this is likely a regional variation like the Zenfone A500KL.

Unlike that one, however, the Asus X002 is a single-SIM device (confirmed by both sources) and has LTE connectivity, with up to 150Mbps downlinks (Cat. 4).

The main camera shoots 8MP stills, but there's uncertainty about the video capture – one source says 720p, the other claims 2160p. The chipset officially supports up to 1080p, so that's the likely middle ground. The front camera is a selfie-friendly 5MP.

Anyway, the Asus X002 is 9.9mm thick and weighs 140g. It will come with 8GB of built-in storage, plus room for up to 32GB more with a microSD card.
