Zenfone C announced by AsusPH

This week, Asus Philippines officially announced their newest phone which is the Zenfone C.

Basically, it is set between Zenfone 4 and Zenfone 5 in terms of specifications. It's good to know that for it's price, it sports a very decent Intel Atom dual-core chipset which features the touted "hyper-threading" technology to ensure almost lag-free user experience. They're also proud to announce that it sports a 5MP "Pixelmaster" camera with a dedicated low-light mode for better features at night, I think it's the reference for it's tagline "C what others can't see" making a pun for other smartphones from international brands that bears the same price tag but with cheap camera optics with even no autofocus or whatsoever (I'm looking on you Samsung)

Well anyways, here are the list of specifications for your to look at :

Asus Zenfone C

- 4.5" FWVGA (480x854) TFT LCD display, ~217ppi
- Intel Atom™ Z2520 (1.2Ghz dual-core with Intel Hyperthreading™ technology)
- 1GB RAM
- 8GB internal storage, expandable via microSD
- 5MP AF "Pixelmaster" camera w/LED flash and f/2.0 aperture
- VGA front-facing camera
- 2G, 3G
- Wi-Fi, hotspot, Bluetooth, GPS w/A-GPS, GLONASS support
- 2100mAh battery
- Android 4.4 KitKat

Pretty decent specs right ? but comparing it to local brands with the same price tag won't help but remember, it came from the maker of the famous Zenfone 5 and you're always ensured for updates and support.

Asus said that this phone costs Php. 4,590.00 but no words as of now for it's availability. So stay tuned for an update.

By the way, Asus Philippines are currently doing a contest on their Facebook page and three lucky winners would get a Zenfone C so kindly check their page for more info and be one of the first owners of this phone.
