spec for spec, dollar for dollar, i think pinakasulit yung 2nd (ZE550ML) yung approximately P8,400.

you’ll add approximately P1,400 to get Full HD display of the 3rd option.

and approx. 4k to get Full HD + additional 2gb ram + better processor of the 4th option.

Pansin ko lang yung 5″ variant parang zenfone 5 na mataas lang battery. Anyway yung price wala pang tax?? Hmmm i plan to buy new phone mukhang Meizu M1 Note na lang bibilhin ko 7995 2GB Ram at 40K score sa antutu kaso walang SC Card slot pero OTG supported.. Di kasi kaya sa budget yung 1080P 2gb at 4gb variant.. Sayangs..

2gb ram… or 4gb ram… assuming the difference is 2000k… hmmm…. it’s pointless to buy a 64bit processesor with only 2gb of ram… so the 4gb ram is the better choice!

Hi everyone. Ask ko lang po kung sakaling sa manggagaling sa Taiwan ang asus zenfone 2 pwede bang gamitin iyon dito sa Pinas or tamang sabihin pareho lang ba ang magiging version ng zenfone na ilalabas sa Pinas kahit galing sa Taiwan yung fone? Please need expert explanation.

May mga fones kasi na pag galing sa ibang bang parang iba ang version pero same model & specs. Nag-iiba dahil magkaibang bansa ang pinagreleasan. I hope nakuha nyo ang tanong ko hehe. Thank you!
