Asus Zenfone Selfie (ZD551KL) - Introduction

Just got the Asus Zenfone Selfie from an online store (Lazada Malaysia) for RM836( approximately 200USD ). I'd say it has pretty good specification for the price.

Asus Zenfone Selfie.

Let's take a look at the specifications.

CPU and GPU

In the heart of the Zenfone Selfie is a Snapdragon 615 SoC or so it seems. Qualcomm's website shows that the Zenfone Selfie uses the newer Snapdragon 616. On the other hand, Asus official websites state that Snapdragon 615 is being used. The screenshot below shows that the phone is clocked at 1.5GHz and 1.11GHz on low power cores.


RAM

3GB RAM is plenty and more than sufficient for most Android tasks. After uninstalling(or disabling) some Google and Asus apps, I was able to get around 1.5 to 1.6 GB of free RAM. Fortunately, Asus gave the option to disable most of it's pre-installed apps.

Camera

I'm quite pleased with the image quality results on both the rear and front facing camera. Will add more information and post up some image samples soon.
