ZenFone 2 is the newest flagship smartphone powered by Intel from Asus. As a product labeled as “flagship,” the ZenFone 2 definitely looks the part inside and out, but its price is much lower than what you would expect for a flagship device. The 16 GB ZenFone 2 is priced at only 9,995, while the the 32 GB is priced at P13,995, and the 64 GB priced at P14,995.
The new ZenFone 2 is now available in the Philippines starting this week.
ZenFone 2, as the “2” indicates, comes from the hugely successful ZenFone family, which was started by Asus a year ago. It features an all-new design, 13MP PixelMaster camera, and performance delivered by a 64-bit Intel Atom Z3580 processor with up to 4GB RAM. Also, an Intel LTE-Advanced modem provides ultra-fast and reliable 4G/LTE connectivity.
Building on the success of ZenFone, the new smartphone has new features, including a refined ASUS ZenUI experience and an all-new design that employs iconic Zen design elements, such as a sleek, brushed-metal finish and concentric-circle detailing. The design introduces new refinements, including a graceful curved case that tapers to an incredibly-thin 3.9mm at the edges. It also has the so called “Ergonomic Arc design,” which provides a comfortable, secure grip, including an intuitively-placed volume-control key on the rear of the phone within easy reach of the user’s index finger.
The 5.5-inch Full HD IPS+ screen has a large 72% screen-to-body ratio that provides a maximized viewing experience, while reducing ZenFone 2’s overall size.
ZenFone 2’s 13MP PixelMaster camera with its f/2.0 wide-aperture lens lets users quickly and easily capture beautiful, high-resolution photos with zero shutter-lag. Camera features, including Low Light mode, Backlight (Super HDR) mode, and Super Resolution mode, ensure incredible photos even in dimly lit situations.
ZenFone 2 has a 3000mAh battery that provides more than enough power to get through the day, and it also features BoostMaster fast-charge technology for dramatically-reduced recharge times.
