Asus chairman Jonney Shih told Taiwan’s Inside that the company is done making phones for now, marking the end of its Zenfone and ROG Phone lines.
“Asus will no longer add new mobile phone models in the future,” Shih reportedly said (translated with Google Translate). He didn’t entirely rule out a return though, instead saying the company is entering a state of “indefinite observation” of the market, and that it will “continue to take care of the brand’s mobile phone users.”
We’ve reached out to Asus for confirmation that it is exiting the smartphone market, but hadn’t heard back in time for publication.
