Last month, Asus announced its latest product, Asus Zenfone Selfie, in Taiwan. This month, Asus Zenfone Selfie has just passed TENAA certification, so let us take a look at some of its best features.
Asus Zenfone Selfie – the technology for Selfie lovers
The smartphone’s name – Selfie – is based on the feature of its camera. With both its front and back camera of 13MP, Asus Zenfone Selfie certainly gets the attention of selfie lovers. Usually, smartphones focus more on its rear camera, and only manage to equip a decent front one. However, Asus Zenfone Selfie breaks the tradition of putting the front camera on lower quality. Both cameras have dual-tone LED flash, and provide auto-focus features. Other camera modes are also available for better experience in taking selfies.
Asus Zenfone Selfie comes with various pastel colors, which are all good for the eyes. The design is also a bit similar to that of Zenfone 2, and the Zenfone Selfie has an optional Swing that allows users to adjust the phone to take better selfies.
Asus Zenfone Selfie specs: rumored vs official
The device has a 5.5’’ Full HD TFT display and an updated version of protection – Corning Gorilla Glass 4. The phone runs on an octa-core Snapdragon 615 chipset and a 2 or 4GB Ram. Asus Zenfone Selfie also has 16, 32 or 64GB of internal storage depending on the versions.
However, the version that has just passed TENAA certification seems to have some differences. The version verified by TENAA has only 2Gb of RAM, and comes with different color choices: Black, Gold, Grey, and Red. It is unknown if China will have the same pastel versions as Taiwan or not. Until it is official released, we can only follow with the information from the company.

Recently, Asus Zenfone 2 4GB RAM and 128GB ROM was officially but quietly launched in India and even went on sale via Flipkart.

The device arrived at 10 am on May 19 in Taiwan.
Meanwhile, international users are very excited to know when the 128GB Zenfone 2 will come to their country. We hope Philippines will be one of the markets that Asus targets the Zenfone 2 4GB RAM 128GB to. Looking forward to seeing Asus Zenfone 2 128GB in the Philippines real soon.
