ASUS ZenFone Selfie is all about its 13MP cameras
Selfie. What a word. It became a thing as front-facing cameras on phones improved dramatically in recent years. Until now, the HTC Desire Eye is one of the first that comes to mind in this category, but it’s about to face a direct competitor who’s also from Taiwan. ASUS has just announced the ZenFone Selfie which, as you can tell, is all about taking selfies. Both its front and rear cameras feature a 13-megapixel resolution and dual-tone flash, though only the main f/2.0 camera has fast and low-light-friendly laser auto-focus (something that even the flagship ZenFone 2 lacks). That said, the front f/2.2 camera makes up for the loss with a wide 88-degree field of view, thus making it easier for group selfies (“wefies?”).
The rest of this Android phone looks almost identical to the ZenFone 2. You get the same 5.5-inch 1080p LCD (but with tougher Gorilla Glass 4 instead of its predecessor), the same backside volume rocker and the same curved body for a comfortable grip. The less obvious change here is the processor: ASUS has opted for Qualcomm’s mid-range, octa-core Snapdragon 615 over the chips from its close buddy, Intel.
Little else is know about the ZenFone Selfie, so stay tuned as we dig for more info at Computex.
