Obviously, Asus Zenfone 2 is now the most anticipated smartphone in the world. This morning, Asus held an official launch for the South East Asia markets in Jakarta, Indonesia. And here it is, the 2015 flagship killer Asus Zenfone 2 finally comes to the town, Philippines included.

Two versions that are launched in this event is the highest version ZE551ML and the slightly lower-end one ZE550ML. It seems like we are not getting the entry-level variant in the occasion.

The higher-end ZE551ML features a 5.5” fHD (1920×1080 pixels) powered by a quad-core 64-bit 2.3GHz Z3580 Intel Atom processor, a13MP f/2.0 rear camera, a 5MP front-facing camera, massive 4GB RAM. 32GB is the internal storage capacity. A premium 64GB version was introduced this morning as well.

The mid-end variant ZE550ML also sports a 5.5” HD display but with lower specs, of course. An 1.8GHz Z3560 quad-core Intel Atom CPU is equipped inside the device paired with 2GB RAM, 16GB on-board storage (expandable via microSD card).

Both phones will come out of the box with Android 5.0 pre-installed, ZenUI 2.0 on top, a pretty generous 3000 mAh battery and LTE connectivity. An extra 5GB ASUS web storage.is what the company offers to its loyal customers.
