ASUS Philippines has recently posted an image on their Facebook page which hints at a new variant of the Zenfone 5 – the Zenfone 5 Lite.
Article updated with specs.
The teaser doesn’t give much information aside from a glimpse of the box of the Zenfone 5 ‘Lite’ and the tagline “See what others can’t see in a whole new lite.” One thing we know for sure is that it will still be powered by Intel’s mobile processor.
The ASUS Zenfone 5 has a price tag of Php6,495 for the 8GB model and Php6,995 for the 16GB. Since the Zenfone 5 Lite will be a toned-down version, expect the price to be lower.

Don’t forget to put a teeny weeny light in the home keys.
Parang mas mahal pa sa ZF5,. toinks
zenfone 5 user here, any idea how to upgrade to kitkat? ive checked ota on system update its still at 4.3 and its said there its already up to date
this should sell at P4.5-P5k
Kaya nga. Tapos ibagsak pa lalo nila yung ZF4 price. Kainis.
Kainggit lang yung battery.

Pucha naman tong Asus, di nilabas sa market yung improved Asus Zenfone 4 model nila. Puro na lang India.
1.2 billion population… magisip ka, lols
Higher battery capacity at 2,500 mAh but the screen resolution is pathetic.
ano kaya meron utak mga tao sa Asus at naglabas sila ng mas mababa ang specs sa Z5?
kamura na nga Z5 e, dapat upgraded version ng Z5 nilabas kahit Full HD lang…. aysus
sa tingin yata nila e pang flagship na daw kasi yung z5 eh kaya naglabas pa sila ng lite. hehehe
tsong, bka di mo pa alam ung zf5 lte version.. ok na to kesa zf4.5 atleast mas mataas ung battery
kung gagawin nilang 5k
5″ qHD display
4gb rom
1gb ram
intel cpu 1.2 ghz
