Asus ZenFone 5/ 5Z/ 5 Lite/ Max Plus (M1) – Specifications

Asus Launches ZenFone 5, ZenFone 5Z, ZenFone 5 Lite along with ZenFone Max Plus (M1) at MWC 2018.

Asus-the global electronics brand this year unveiled their Zenfone 5 series which has made headlines in the tech world. The brand’s previous series was not that up to the mark which made their market down in 2017. This year Asus unveiled something interesting in the MWC in Barcelona this year. ZenFone 5Z is going to be launched on 4th of July this year in India as Asus‘s flagship redefining smartphone.

They have launched the Zenfone 5 Series that has copied the looks from the iPhone X. The Zenfone 5 series offer full-screen displays, dual-cameras, Face Unlock, and AI-enabled features. In short Zenfone 5 series will be a perfect all-rounder.

Asus has rolled out its own take on Apple’s Animoji with its so-called ‘ZeniMoji’, but even more strikingly, the ZenFone 5Z and ZenFone 5 both sport the distinctive iPhone X ‘notch’ that makes them look remarkably similar to Apple’s flagship.

The company will also ship with Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box but with Asus‘s proprietary ZenUI 5.0 on top. All devices will also offer dual-SIM functionality and have an additional dedicated microSD slot that will support cards of up to 2TB. Launching the series at this time will surely give hardships to many brands like Xiaomi, Vivo, Honor…

So, wasting no time let’s begin to describe each one of the models in the series:

1. Asus ZenFone 5Z (ZS620KL)

It is powered by the Snapdragon 845 SoC and sports a dual-camera setup at the back. The primary sensor is Sony’s 12-megapixel IMX363.

While the more premium model will have the Snapdragon 630 under the hood, there will apparently also be a more affordable version that will be powered by the Snapdragon 430 SoC.

The interesting thing to be noted is with the cameras. The Zenfone 5 Lite has a quad camera. Yes, you are right, two for the rear and two for the front.

The rear module will be a 16-megapixel + 8-megapixel affair, the selfie-cam on the front will have an 8-megapixel sensor alongside the 20-megapixel Sony IMX376 sensor.

The smartphone will sport a 3,300mAh battery and rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. It will be available in Midnight Black, Moonlight White, and Rouge Red color options.

The secondary 8-megapixel sensor is there to capture wide-angle shots and comes with a 120-degree wide-angle lens.

Tech Specs:

 

Well, the prices of ZenFone 5 (ZE620KL), ZenFone 5 Lite, or the ZenFone Max Plus (M1) are to be announced by the company very soon.
