In reality two models have been announced since there will be a second vitaminized version, a trend that is increasingly common. In both cases, a 6.2-inch IPS screen with FullHD + resolution and a 19: 9 ratio is used.

Inside we find the Snapdragon 636 processor in the case of Zenfone 5 and the Snapdragon 845 in the case of Zenfone 5Z, the first of them is available in several versions with 4 and 6 GB of RAM while the second adds a third option with 8 GB of memory. As for storage, the Zenfone 5 offers a single 64GB option while its older brother offers 64GB, 128 and 256GB, in both cases with a memory card slot.

with f / 2.0 aperture.
