The Asus ZenFone AR will be the second smartphone to have a built-in support for Tango technology. Qualcomm has already removed the blog post, which was unceremoniously shared, but not even before the tech community caught a glimpse of it.

Based on the post, the Asus ZenFone AR will have a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chipset and will support Daydream, according to Android Police. It was also reported that the ZenFone AR will support both Google's virtual reality and augmented reality platforms.

Some may argue that the Snapdragon 821 is not exactly the most powerful chipset on Qualcomm's lineup, especially with the upcoming release of the Snapdragon 835. However, the chipset is still an impressive piece of hardware, which is certainly capable of powering the next Tango-enabled device, according to Digital Trends.

Notable tech insider Evan Blass confirmed the Asus ZenFone AR through a post on his official Twitter account, where he posted a front and rear snap of the smartphone. Based on Blass's photo, the phone will have a physical Home key on the lower front panel and will sport an impressive dual-camera configuration.

Asus is yet to confirm the official release date and the official specs of the ZenFone AR.
