Asus Zenfone Selfie first Launched at Rs : 16000

The ZenFone 2 Deluxe and ZenFone 2 Laser are variations on the disruptive, recently announced ZenFone 2. On the camera front, the device comes with a 13MP rear snapper and 5MP front-facing camera with PixelMaster tech. Do’h! A bigger battery would certainly help, and that’s exactly what ASUS has built into its ZenFone Max.

Asus announced a series of phones and tablets at its maiden Zen Festival event in New Delhi yesterday. Asus Chairman Johnney Shih launched the Zenfone 2 Deluxe, Zenfone Selfie, Zenfone 2 Laser along with showing a sneek peek at Asus’ high capacity battery sporting phone – the Zenfone Max.

Apart from this the Taiwan based company also announced the ZenPad 7.0 and ZenPad 8.0 along with a series of accessories such as the Zen Flash, Lolliflash and so on.

We had a brief hands on time with the Zenfone Selfie and here are our first impressions. The Zenfone Selfie was originally announced at Computex 2015. The phone is priced at Rs 15,999

This phone looks exactly like its other siblings in the Zenfone 2 family, having the same plastic body with a brush metal finish on the rear side, curved arc back, the power button on top and volume rocker behind and so on. Our issues with the power button placement remain. However, the build quality isn’t bad.

The one major addition is the placement of a 13MP front-facing camera along with dual-LED flash, the same setup that is also there on the rear side of the Zenfone Selfie in addition to a laser auto-focus section placed just on the left hand side of the camera. This is similar to the Zenfone 2 Laser which was announced by Asus yesterday.

The Asus Zenfone Selfie sports a 5.5-inch screen with a 1920×1080 resolution along with a 403 ppi. It is powered by a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor. The new smartphone will come in two RAM variants – 2GB RAM and 3GB RAM. It also comes with an option to choose between 16GB or 32GB of inbuilt storage and can be further expanded up to 64GB via microSD card.
