Asus ZenFone 2 ZE550ML vs. ZE551ML

Since there were at least two indicated models of the new Asus Zenfone 2, we dug deeper in some documents and the Asus website to figure out what the combination of specs were available for each model. Here’s the most complete and detailed specs we’ve gathered so far.

During the announcement yesterday, the major differences between the ZE550ML and ZE551ML were isolated only on the amount of RAM and internal storage. And of course, the starting price.

Today we got a few more details that the ZE550ML will be using a slower Intel Atom Z3560 1.83GHz processor while the ZE551ML will be running Intel Atom Z3580 2.33GHz processor. Likewise, there’s additional info that the display resolution on the ZE550ML will only be 720p as against the 1080p of the ZE551ML.

We’re curious as to how much the starting price of the ZE551ML will be but we’re hoping it would be in the $299 to $349 (Php14,999).

    get confused..i bought may zenfone2 from LAZADA (P9,900). It stated in the box ZE551ML model in the sticker but in contrary to the spec mentioned above mine is only 2gb with a capacity of 16GB storage with a Processor of Intel Atom Z3560 1.83GHz which supposed to be for the ZE550ML model and the res. of my unit is 1920 x 1080 pixels instead of 720 x 1280 pixels? anong model ba itong Zenfone 2 ko? is it ZE551ML or ZE550ML

    Why is it that the ZE551ML is showing 2G RAM only on some advertisements, here its 4G?

    if you are a benchmark freak, the ze550ml is the better pick. same specs as with the ze551ml (1.8mhz), but has a lower screen resolution. if you are more into display crispness though, then the ze551ml would be better for you. pagdating sa games, parang sa ze550ml ako. personal preference lang.

    Both models are now on Lazada, is the 3k additional for the ZE551 worth it?
