Asus, the Taiwan based tech giant, has recently unveiled the ZenFone 4 line-up of smartphones. The new series was a successor to the last year's ZenFone 3 family. Without wasting any time, Asus has already started working on its next generation of smartphone line-up. As per the latest reports by Asus, the CEO of the company Jerry Shen himself said that Asus might unveil the ZenFone 5 series somewhere in March 2018. The company's smartphone business has returned to a growth track following a recent restructuring, Shen added. Asus is also expecting profits from its smartphone business by the fourth quarter of this year.

The time between the launch of both the series is way too less for the market.
