I was one
excited when ASUS officially announced last August 17, 2017 in Taiwan that a
selfie-centric handset will be part of the Zenfone 4 series - the Zenfone 4
Selfie. And I was more amazed when ASUS publicized last August 19, 2017 at SMX
Convention Center Pasay Manila that not only one but two of them will be
available in the Philippines which includes Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro. But I will be
talking about the Zenfone 4 Selfie in this post.
Zenfone
Selfie was the first selfie-focused smartphone that ASUS ever released two
years ago. It featured a 13MP rear and front camera, dual-LED Real Tone flash
technology, and a built-in beauty mode. The said features are the main reason
why my friend opts to grab one when it was released and I was one benificiary
of the quality photos that I posted on my social media the past years.
I was
saddened when Selfie series did not make another appearance with last year's
Zenfone 3 family. But with thorough research, development, deliberation and
observation, ASUS selfie team come up with this Zenfone 4 Selfie which met the
wants of users and offer an even better experience for them.
Nowadays,
users not only want their phones to have better camera resolutions but they are
also expecting that they could capture enough of the scenery that could also include more of the
background scenes and also is capable of taking crisp pictures at night or even
on other low-light conditions. So, the
Zenfone 4 Selfie is the answer to this as it introduced dual front cameras, one
with 20MP resolution, a large f/2.0 aperture, and a softlight LED flash, and
the other camera is with 8MP resolution, f/2.4 aperture and a 120° view angle.
With this two cameras together, group selfie or wefie is more possible.
To give
ZenFone 4 Selfie users even more creative options and flexibility to use its
powerful front facing cameras, it comes preinstalled with the Selfie Master app
which is a collection of the following useful apps:
On the other
side of the phone is the 16MP camera equipped with Phase Detection Autofocus
and still has a softlight LED flash.
The rear
camera of the ZenFone Selfie empowers photo lovers to shoot with many
interesting preset modes:
