Zenfone 2 Price : A bang for the buck !

ASUS' Zenfone line made a hit especially the 5 inch variant. Then, lately they unveiled a successor to their cheap offering, the Zenfone 2 which is unveiled during the CES 2015 last January.

It may have a cheaper than usual price tag, but cheaper price doesn't mean short performance especially when one of the variants of this phone comes with a 4GB of RAM, yes ! 4GB of RAM ! (WOW !)

So here it is, Zenfone 2 SKU's with their respective price tags and specifications :

So all of the SKU's would come with 4G LTE. I have no words for availability yet here in the Philippines. But I believe that it will land here on mid-April to May this year.

The two cheaper SKU's would come with a matte back cover while the other one would come with metallic brush finish back cover that has different designs to choose from.

Really bang for the buck right ? I'm hoping to get my hands on it.
