At Rs 12,999, Asus Zenfone 2 will be more than a challenger. Here is why

The new Zenfone 2 will be available in four variants. Two variants of the Zenfone 2 ZE 551 ML model come with 4G RAM and 2GB RAM respectively (both with 1080p display) and the ZE 550 ML model with 720p display and 2GB RAM.

The Zenfone 2 ZE 551 ML (4GB RAM) model is priced at Rs 22,999, and the 32 GB version will cost Rs 19,999. The ZE 551 ML (2GB RAM) costs Rs 14,999, while the ZE 550 ML will be available at Rs 12,999.

The 64GB variant will compete with the OnePlus one which is in the same price range at Rs 21,998 now. But the former has an edge as it is the first phone to sport 4GB RAM.

On the hardware front, Zenfone 2 ZE 551 ML (4GB RAM) version runs on a 2.3 GHz quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 processor while both the 2GB versions run on 1.8GHz quad-core Intel Atom Z3560 CPU. Other features of the different variants are same. All the models will offer dual SIM card slots with support for 4G in the first slot.

It comes with a 13MP PixelMaster camera, and a 64-bit Intel Atom Z3580 processor with 4GB RAM. All the ZenFone 2 variants offer 5.5-inch display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection and is powered by a 3000mAh battery. It runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop with ZenUI.
