Along with the new Transformer Book Duet, ASUS has also announced the ZenFone lineup which consists of three Intel Atom-powered Android smartphones.
Filling in the entry-level spot is the smallest among the group, the budget-centric ZenFone 4. It has a 4-inch WVGA display and a 5MP rear camera to go along with VGA snapper on the front. It runs on a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and is powered by a modest 1,170mAh battery.
ASUS ZenFone 4 specs:
4-inch TFT LCD, 800 x 480 @233ppi
Intel Atom Z2520 1.2GHz dual-core processor
PowerVR SGX 544 MP2
1GB RAM
Internal storage (TBA)
64GB via microSD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n

VGA front-facing camera
1,170mAh battery
Android 4.3
124.4 x 61.4 x 11.2 mm (dimensions)
115 grams (weight)
The ASUS ZenPhone 4 is going to cost USD99 and will be available in five colors – Charcoal Black, Pearl White, Cherry Red, Sky Blue, Solar Yellow.
Next up we have the ZenPhone 5 which has a more amiable specs sheet compared to its smaller sibling. It’s got a bigger and more vibrant 5-inch display with 720p resolution, better BSI rear camera that shoots 8MP stills and captures 1080p videos, as well as beefier 2050mAh battery pack.
Handling the workload for the ZenFone 5 is the tandem of dual-core Intel Atom Z2580 processor and PowerVR SGX544MP2 GPU, the same engine found under the Lenovo K900’s hood.
ASUS ZenFone 5 specs:
5-inch IPS display, 1280 x 720 @294ppi

148.2 x 72.8 x 10.3 mm (dimensions)

These improvements do come at an additional cost, but luckily it isn’t that much. The ASUS ZenFone 5 will retail for USD149 and will be available in four colors – Charcoal Black, Pearl White, Cherry Red, and Champagne Gold.
Lastly we have the ZenFone 6 which, as it name implies, has a humongous 6-inch screen. Surprisingly, the company opted for a 720p panel with this smartphone rather than a Full-HD screen one which we’ve come to expect from a flagship device.
This Android handset bears the same engine setup as the ZenFone 5, but received a significant bump both in the imaging and battery department.

According to an ASUS rep in vegas. dual micro-sim ito and you have an option to get a 1.6ghz or 2.0 ghz and 1GB/2GB RAM. yung worth $149 na tablet ng asus 8995 ang presyo. Sana ganon din ang presyo ng ZenFone 5 then 10,995 yung ZenPhone 6. Please lang wag magoverprice.

Rookie Blogger says:
$199 dollars base price. Sa philippines, base price + corruption + napoles fee = 12-13k
abuzalzal says:
Sana dumami pa ang mga aggressive pricing na ganito at ng ma-bangkarote na ang mga walang kakwenta-kwentang kumpanya tulad ng O plus.
abu-using says:

e-lobrino says:
this abuzalzal is a classic example of filipinos who are more conscious of their “appearance” in public. eto yung mga gustong magmukhang mayaman ba ga eh wala namang laman ang bank account.
abuzalzal says:
The ZenFone 5 looks attractive AND it is a great secondary/back-up phone. Definitely picking that one up once it becomes available locally.
Hindi ka na mahihiya ipakita sa public places lol unlike sa mga local brands natin
voltes5 says:
Ok nga ung pricing nila knowing na ASUS pa yan..Maganda ung quality..Narealize siguro nila sa nexus line ung benefits ng low price..
Freeje says:
Both the ZenFone 5 and 6 have the same price of $149?
Rookie Blogger says:
$199 yung 6 inches. 2GB ram so it’s a better deal. sa philippines +napoles fee, maybe the price will be around 12-13k
