The ASUS Zenfone 5 landed on local shores last July which quickly gained popularity due to the sweet balance between its specs and price. A month after that, a new variant became available sporting a larger internal storage. Three months later and we now have the Lite version that came as a slightly more affordable alternative. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of all the ASUS Zenfone 5 in the Philippines.

alin ba mas maganda ung 2.0 o 1.6? pagdating sa power consumption?

Riggs · 11 years ago

guys anong model ung 2ghz na CPU, hindi ba A501CG un? bakit 1.6ghz lang nakalagay dito?

jack molina bert · 11 years ago

guys wala ba dito sa pinas yung 32gb version? Bili sana ako at sagarin yung mataas na memory kaso 16gb lang kadalasan sa malls

karla · 11 years ago

eh ano po yung nka lagay sa billboard sa EDSA sa gitna ng Boni and Guadalupe na ZENFONE na 3,999 something ?? san po yun mabibili?? many thanks

Silverlokk · 11 years ago

Baka Zenfone 4 yon, available mostly wherever the 5 and 6 are sold. Pero may nabasa akong review (baka c/o Yuga and co.) na hindi maganda yung display — among others — ng Zenfone 4. If that doesn’t bother you, OK na rin yung presyo

OneDayMillionaire · 11 years ago

Is there an LTE ready version?
The problem i have with zenfone 5 is the battery and heats up quite fast.

Carl Lamiel · 11 years ago

There’s Zenfone 5 LTE which isn’t officially released here in the country, but you can get one through gray market sellers.

AsusFan · 11 years ago

No version with LTE feature and Full HD resolution?

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 11 years ago

Not available in the PH.

Milhouse · 11 years ago

Nice specs but the battery is reportedly abominable.

Silverlokk · 11 years ago

While the previous Zenfone 5 models came with Android 4.3 out of the box, ASUS has released KitKat for them as well. Yun lang nga, OTA ata yung upgrade

weryou@ · 11 years ago

Yup, OTA ang update to Kitkat. My Zenfone 5 was updated to it. Noticeably smoother na ang experience ko.

James · 11 years ago

All Dual Micro-SIM?

batt · 11 years ago

dba magkaiba ung Li-Ion sa Li-Po? sabi li-Pol daw Zen5. eh Li-Ion naman.

wew · 11 years ago

Akala ko ba all variants? Bat po wala ung snapdragon variant?
Meron namang nirilease nun dito ah…

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 11 years ago

None in the PH.

ravadaw · 11 years ago

actually yung sabe mong 2GHz imported yan yung nirelease lang sa PH ay yung 1.6GHz

Alvin · 11 years ago
