Asus Zenfone 5 comes with Snapdragon 400 and LTE

Asus refreshed one of their Zenfone this year and re-introduced the Zenfone 5 with LTE, replacing the dual-core Intel Atom processor with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chip.

The design is the same as the older Zenfone 5 so there’s really no cosmetic changes.

…But the atom processor is slightly better than its snapdragon counterpart:

This also means the atom machine will be able to more seamleassly run a non-android linux OS.

I think they change the Processor because the intel one doesn’t support LTE. that’s it but the intel Processor is Fast based on antutu compared to quad cores by mtk

Ang dahilan kung bakit inapgrade nila ang zenfone 5 ay dahil mabagal daw ang processer nito :-)

At anong problema kung may naghihintay sa phone na ito? Ikaw ba ang hihingan nila ng pambili? Doon ka sa North Korea kung ayaw mo ng masasayang comments.
