Asus announced the ZenPad series as well as the Asus Zenfone Selfie smartphone aiming at the selfie enthusiasts.
Asus decided to add on a selfie-focussed camera on the Zenfone 2 series which was announced earlier this year, Asus Zenfone Selfie on the show floor at Computex and here are our first impressions.
BUILD
The device looks smiler to zenfone 2 ,The body is made of plastic and has brush metal finish on the back.
it does feel like a well built device and has the typical curved arc shape with power button ,as expected on the top and volume rocker on the rear end.
The larger 13mp camera and duel led flash on both the front and rear gives the design some fresh look(a very small amount that is) in my opinion the centrally placed selfie camera does look sturdy.
UNDER THE HOOD
The Asus Zenfone Selfie is powered by a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SOC ,2 or 3 gb of ram and 16GB or 32GB of inbuilt storage which can be further expanded up to 64GB via microSD card.
It is running on the Android 5.0 Lollipop OS with Asus’s proprietary ZenUI skin on top of it
In operation it was smooth and there was no unnecessary lag,switching between apps was a breeze.
WHAT MEATS THE EYE
The Asus Zenfone Selfie sports a 5.5-inch screen with a 1920×1080 resolution with 403 ppi
which is decent ,Its a typical zenfone display
THE EYE OF THE DEVICE
The main reason for the existence of this phone is its 13MP front-facing camera. It is powered by a 1/3.2-inch Toshiba sensor with an f/2.2 aperture and a 24mm focal length where as the rear camera has a 1/3.2-inch Toshiba sensor with an f/2.0 aperture with a 28mm focal length. Both the cameras comes with laser auto focus
The ui of the camera is similar to the one we saw with the Zenfone 2. The front-camera gets features such as HDR mode, selfie-panorama mode, selfie low light mode and so on. The image quality looked decent .
WHAT MEATS THE POCKET
Asus hasn’t announced a price for the device yet but we where expecting a price between 15-18k
lets see how it turns out.
