Interestingly enough, Asus Marketing Executive Marcel Campos posted a photo of an unannounced phone on his personal Instagram account. The phone does not look like any other handset in the ZenFone series, leading us to believe that this could be the upcoming ZenFone 5 Lite considering it appears to have a vertical dual camera setup on the back and the same fingerprint sensor placement. It seems to have a metal body with glass finishing with no sight of a 3.5mm headphone jack at least on the bottom. However, this is just speculation, and we will get a clearer picture closer to the launch.
