Design

On the first glance, we can tell right away that Sony Xperia C4 is lighter than Asus Zenfone Selfie. The C4 weighs only 147g, while Zenfone Selfie weighs around 170g. The C4 is a tad smaller and a lot thinner too, so we can feel it and has a firmer grasp on it than we will have with the Zenfone Selfie. The screen on both phones is 5.5 inches though, so clearly Xperia C4 has more advantage this round.

However, these cannot be the same with different people, so some may not feel that much different between them at all. Moreover, the C4 only has some scratch-resistant protection, while Zenfone Selfie has Corning Gorilla Glass 4.
Sony Xperia C4 is available in Black, White, and Mint color, while Asus Zenfone Selfie is available in Pure White, Chic Pink, Aqua Blue for its Taiwanese versions.

Hardware

If we focus more on hardware performance, we can see that Asus Zenfone Selfie will perform better. It has more battery power, housing 3000mAh instead of 2600mAh on C4. Moreover, Zenfone Selfie has an octa core 1.8GHz processor while C4 only has an octa core 1.7GHz. Both phones have 2GB RAM for its 16Gb internal storage.

However, Zenfone Selfie has a 32GB version with 3GB RAM. The two devices support microSD, so be free to expand your storage.

Camera & features

Now let us compare the most interesting feature on both devices. Sony Xperia C4 as well as Asus Zenfone Selfie has a 13MP main camera. However, the front camera on Sony Xperia C4 is only a 5MP one, while that on Asus Zenfone Selfie is a 13MP, which equals its main camera. Moreover, both the main and front cameras on Zenfone Selfie has dual led flash, which earn a lot of points for this device over C4.
On the other hand, Sony Xperia C4 has many camera shooting features, such as video light or continuous autofocus when recording movies. Sony Xperia C4 also has CMOS sensor, a serialshot mode, or AF tracking. It seems C4 is still fabulous considering its photo features. As expected from Sony.

Overall, both phones are great for photoshooting. While the C4 is already out in the Philippines, it is really easy to purchase one now. However, if you want to order an Asus Zenfone Selfie, you may want to wait some time for it to reach here.
