“With the ZenFone series, we have always been committed to enabling the best mobile photography experiences and empowering consumers to capture every precious moment of their lives and easily share them with their loved ones,” said Chairman Shih. “We are very excited to announce the availability of the ZenFone 4 family.”
The latest Zenfone 4 models focused on 3 aspects - Photography, Selfies and Wefies and Nonstop Energy.
The curtain is off and Asus Zenfone 4 Pro is finally revealed. A marvel of craftmanship and construction created a solid and elegant smartphone encased in 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass. Upfront, it sports a 5.5 inch Full HD AMOLED Display delivering rich visuals. Powering the device, it makes use of Snapdragon 835 processor coupled with 6GB RAM and 64GB Internal Storage. This Internal setup will surely handle your applications even while multitasking. Well Zenfone 4 Pro key feature is its Dual Rear Camera which to take mobile photography to new heights as it makes use of Sony IMX362 at 12MP, f1.7 aperture and 83-degree field of view while the other lens is 16MP Sony IMX351 sensor, a 2x optical zoom lens and 50cm focal length. Whether capturing landscapes or taking potraits, Zenfone 4 Pro will deliver great outputs. Front Camera is a 8MP Sony IMX319 sensor is as good as the rear camera. Qualcomm Spectra™ image signal processors (ISPs) further improve camera performance, ensuring fast and smooth focusing and zooming, and photos with better color accuracy. Then there is Slow Motion mode which now lets users capture fast action scenes at up to 120 frames per second (fps) in 1080p Full HD resolution. Other than those, the phone packs bigger battery at 3600mAh which should give you more usable time. Zenfone 4 Pro really deserves the attention as its features are competitive with other flagships in the market.
Well if you dont have enough budget for the flagship or prefer more on midrange then Zenfone 4 base model is for you. Ture enough it will come in two variants Snapdragon 630 / 660. It will carry a 5.5 inch Super IPS+ Display (Not AMOLED) and with internal setup of 4GB/6GB RAM and 64GB Internal Storage. Packs Dual Rear Camera at 12MP (same as Zenfone 4 Pro) plus 8MP, a 120 ° wide wide angle. Just single camera for rear at 8MP. Battery is at 3300mAh.
Next are the Zenfone 4 Selfie and Selfie Pro. ZenFone 4 Selfie Series smartphones feature dual front-facing cameras and SelfieMaster, image-processing software that enables users to easily capture beautiful selfies and super wide-angle wefies. Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro is flagship level selfie phone that has a 5.5 inch Full HD AMOLED Display powered by Snapdragon 625 Octa-Core Processor with 4GB RAM and 64GB Internal Storage. Main selling point is its Dual Front Camera that said to give 24MP highly detailed output as well as 120° super Wefies. Rear camera is at 16MP so it is also realible and ensure you to take great outputs. If again due to budget constraint you may opt for Zenfone 4 Selfie with just a 5.5 inch HD IPS Display powered by Snapdragon 430 but with same memory and storage setup. Still has front dual camera combo but limited to 20MP but can also take 120° super Wefies. Both have same battery at 3000mAh. Guess with their Zenfone 4 Selfie series they are head on collision with Oppo and Vivo for King of the Selfie Crown.
So far these four graced the Official Media Event. However there is also the Zenfone 4 Max and Zenfone 4 Max Pro. Seems Max will have two variants one with 5.2 inch and the other is the 5.5. Snapdragon 430 Octa-Core Processor will power the 5.5 while 5.2 inch Zenfone 4 Max will have Snapdragon 425 Quad-Core. RAM is at 3GB RAM while Internal Storage is at 32GB. These Zenfone 4 Max carry a dual rear camera setup at 13MP plus 5MP where there is a wide-angle function. The 5.5 inch will have a 5000mAh battery while the 5.2 inch will have 4100mAh. Zenfone 4 Max Pro Pro on the other hand has similar internal setup of that of Zenfone 4 Max 5.5 but comes with upgraded optics - Dual (16MP + 5MP) Rear Camera with Wide Angle View as well as 16MP Front Camera.
These smartphones makes up the three key features Zenfone 4 is focused on - 3 aspects - Photography, Selfies and Wefies and Nonstop Energy.
