REVIEW l Asus Zenfone Selfie

Have you ever thought of buying a new Mobile Phone but can't decide?
Well maybe this review could help you.

Earlier this year, my wife and I decided to purchase an Asus Zenfone Selfie as gifts to ourselves, since then I have been a satisfied user of my Asus Selfie.
The first thing that caught my attention when I opened the box, was how big the lens of the front camera which is the same as the back.  Below are the photos I took upon opening the box.

The Asus Selfie has both a 13.0 Mega-Pixel Camera for its front and back camera which is good for those who love to take selfies due to the high Mega-Pixel Front Camera.  It also has a flash for both the front and back which would make it easy to take photos or videos during low light or during the night time.  Aside from the flash function option when taking a photo you could also use the flash as a steady torch when taking a photo or video which is good if you are taking a photo in pitch black.

The Asus Selfie also has a 3GB(Gigabyte) of Ram and 2GB of which is usable which means it wont have a hard time with your applications and games so you don't need to worry about giving your Asus Selfie a hard time when opening multiple apps and games.  It also has an internal memory of 32GB which is a huge storage space for all your photos, videos, games, etc. but, it is still not enough there is an option to expand your memory with its memory card slot(which you could purchase at any tech shop) up to 128 GB of additional memory, so there is no need to worry about storage.

It is a dual standby phone which means that there is a slot for sim 1 and sim 2 which are both active so if you have two mobile no.s there is no need to buy another phone.  Since I have two mobile no.s have a dual sim standby is a great help since I could have both of my sims in 1 mobile phone and please take not that you have to have a micro sim when using this phone so if you are still using an old sim card you could opt for it to be replace with your carrier to a micro sim card or you could have it cut(most of the shops offer cutting your sim card for a minimal fee).

True to its description, its camera is amazing. Its camera is really like a mini DSLR when taking photos.  Taking photos using the front and back will give you the same quality since they have the same Mega-Pixel and function.  Using the Camera Application you, will have a few camera modes that you could use in taking photos.  My favorite mode is the "Depth of Field" since it focuses on your subject by keeping the background blurred.  And if you are not familiar with the different features there is a help button which gives you the description of the feature.

     For connectivity it has bluetooth and wifi which you could use to connect to other devices and the internet.  It is already a 4G/LTE capable phone which means if your carrier is already offering LTE then you could maximize your data speed usage.


    Here are some of the sample photos I took.

    After using the Asus Zenfone Selfie for 6 months there is nothing to complain about.
    Overall the Asus Selfie is an amazing phone for under 12K.
