Weighing 115g, the P526 features a 2.6-inch TFT display supporting 65K colors and 240 x 320 resolution. It comes with a built-in 2 mega pixel s camera, 128 MB Flash memory plus 64 MB SDRAM, and Micro-SD expansion slot.
Some of the main features of the P526 are Smart Dial -- automatically pulls up contacts while the name is being typed; Asus Launcher -- for easy launching of applications or functions; Remote Presenter -- to control PowerPoint presentations stored on a notebook or PC via a Bluetooth connection; My Secret Function -- for encrypting and protecting documents; etc.
Besides, this EDGE-enabled phone allows the user to start surfing directly from the search bar located just beneath the current time, without actually opening the browser.
