The series is made up of the Zenfone 4 Pro, Zenfone 4, Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro, Zenfone 4 Selfie and Zenfone 4 Max. Of the lot, the Zenfone 4 Pro is the flagship model but we’ll take a look briefly at the specs and features of the models.

ASUS ZenFone 4 Pro

ASUS ZenFone 4 Pro features an advanced dual-camera system designed to take mobile photography to new heights. It comes with a 16MP Sony IMX362 main sensor with a large 1/2.55-inch size, 1.4µm pixels and a wide, f/1.7-aperture lens to capture brighter and clearer photos in low light.  The phone comes with 2X zoom and a 10X total zoom that brings distant subjects closer, putting the main subject in sharp focus while background details are softened.

ASUS ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro

ASUS ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro is the flagship model of the ZenFone 4 Selfie series and it is touted as having the world’s most advanced selfie camera. It features a Sony IMX362 dual-pixel image sensor and there’s also a SuperPixel Engine that enables users to capture 2X brighter low-light selfies and astonishingly detailed 4K UHD selfie video. The ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro also comes with a 120° super wide-angle “wefie” camera that makes it easy to fit multiple people or the surrounding environment into the shot.

In addition to its dual selfie cameras, the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro features a rear 16MP camera with a Sony image sensor and the SuperPixel Engine to let you capture every precious moment with vivid clarity and stunning detail. This rear camera also shoots video at up to 4K UHD resolution (3840 x 2160) which is 4 times the quality of Full HD. Further, the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro is powered by a 64-bit, 2.0GHz Snapdragon 625 processor paired with a 4GB RAM. The ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro is available in three beautiful colors: Rouge Red, Sunlight Gold and Deepsea Black.

ASUS ZenFone 4 Max

ASUS ZenFone 4 Max wll be available in two different sizes in Europe; the ZenFone 4 Max (ZC554KL) features a 5.5-inch display and a high-capacity 5000mAh battery with ASUS PowerMaster technology for an incredible 46 days of 4G standby time. ZenFone 4 Max (ZC520KL) features a 5.2-inch display with a fast-charging 4100mAh battery for up to 37 days 4G standby. With the large battery capaciity, both Zenfone 4 Max models can double as a power bank for charging other devices. The phone is designed not to chrge when its own battery power is down to 30%.

The Zenfone 4 Max models either get their juice from a Snapdragon 425 chipset in the case of the 5.2-inch version and a SD 430 chip for the 5.5-inch model. Both versions are designed to be the perfect all-day photography companion, featuring a dual-rear-camera system with a 13MP main camera and a 120° wide-view camera.

Pricing & Availability

ASUS is yet to reveal the retail prices of the Zenfone 4 series models as well as details of their availability in the region.

ASUS recently revealed that the Zenfone 4 would be among its new series and not quite long, the Zenfone 4 series lineup leaked revealing all the models the Taiwan-based company is planning to launch under the Zenfone 4 series soon. The name of the device and the model name as well as their specs were all featured in the leaked detail. So, it was easy to identify the exact model when an unknown ASUS Z01M appeared on GFXBench database. From the leaked data, we were able to grab that the Z01M is the ASUS Zenfone 4 Selfie.

As usual, the GFXBench data reveals some of the specs of the ASUS Zenfone 4 Selfie. Among the listed specs is an Android 7.1.1 Nougat operating system. The device is listed as packing a 5.5-inch display with 1920 x 1080p resolution. The Zenfone 4 Selfie is listed as coming with an unspecified octa-core CPU clocked at 2.0GHz. The presence of the Adreno 506 GPU narrows down the processor to either be the Snapdragon 625 or SD 626 SoC, both of which utilises the Adreno 506 GPU. The processor is backed by 4GB of RAM and the model has 32GB of internal storage which will likely be expandable.

GFXBench’s data are not always very accurate so we may actually take the 11MP selfie camera and 15MP rear camera listed on the data with a pinch of salt. The exact sensor size may likely differ in the final analysis and we really hope to see a more powerful camera setup reflective of the name of the model. But from all indications, the Zenfone 4 Selfie is a mid-range smartphone which would likely have an affordable price tag. No word yet on when the Zenfone series models will begin dropping but we believe their launch isn’t far away.

ASUS Kicked off the year with its Zenfone AR at CES 2017. The phone is not only the first 8GB RAM phone in the world, it’s also the first device to support VR (Google Daydream) and AR (Google Tango). In addition to the Zenfone AR, the Zenfone 4 series will also be the focus for the Taiwanese company. A new leak has revealed the lineup for the new series.

In the past few weeks, we have seen a number of new ASUS devices on TENAA and from some other sources. However, this new leak reveals the devices that will get the Zenfone 4 name.

1. Zenfone 4 Max (ZC554KL): We already saw this device get its Bluetooth certification. Device ID is listed ASUS_X00ID which is the same as its model number.
2. Zenfone 4 Pro: This device is still unknown but since it gets the Pro suffix, we presume it will be a more powerful variant of the Zenfone 4 itself. Device ID is ASUS_Z01GD_1 and model number is ASUS_Z01GD.
3. Zenfone 4 Selfie: The first Zenfone Selfie was released back in 2015. It had a 13MP camera on the rear and another 13MP front facing camera with its own dual LED flash. The Zenfone 4 Selfie is the second phone with the selfie name but instead of calling it the Zenfone Selfie 2, we think this name is better to prevent confusion and allow for a more uniform naming scheme. We expect it to have a superb selfie camera as the name implies.
4. Zenfone 4 (ZE554KL): This is definitely the main Zenfone 4. The listing shows there will be two variants (possibly regional). One has Device ID ASUS_Z01KD_1 with corresponding model number ASUS_Z01KDA and the other has Device ID ASUS_Z01KD_2 with model number ASUS_Z01KD. The specs are unknown but we expect a mid-range chip like that of last year, probably the Snapdragon 626.
5. Zenfone 4V: This is an entirely new device as ASUS hasn’t released a Zenfone 3V or Zenfone 2V or Zenfone V in the past. Device ID and model number is ASUS-A006.

There is a chance that there will be more variants. As you can see, there is no Zenfone 4 Deluxe in the list above neither is there a Zenfone 4 Laser. ASUS says it will announce the new line next month.
