ASUS ZX1 Lamborghini Phone Cancelled

It’s been touted and shown off for a few months now, but it looks like ASUS may have finally given up on its luxurious Lamborghini-branded ZX1 smartphone, at least if Alex of MoDaCo is to be believed.

No word if that means we may still eventually see the pricey phone released sooner or later, but we wouldn’t recommend holding your breath at the moment.
