Everyone’s favorite motherboard manufacturer, Asus, has now launched a new phone. Called the J502, this phone comes only three months after its predecessor, the J501. Some of its notable features are its 2.4” QVGA display, its 3-megapixel camera and tv-out capability.

One of the cooler features included in the new J502 is SMS remote control, which allows the phone’s owner to remotely perform such actions as locking or shutting down the phone if it is lost or stolen. The owner simply sends a predefined SMS text message to the phone. Simple enough.

As of now, there is no word on release or pricing.
