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 $299PHP 17,547INR 25,340EUR 285CNY 2,176 to $349PHP 20,481INR 29,578EUR 332CNY 2,540 (Php14,999USD 256INR 21,668EUR 243CNY 1,861).

Let’s see if Asus Philippines will deliver these new Zens to every store on time nationwide. It still pains me when I recall so wanting to get the Zen 5 when it arrived in the country last 2014. And then what, every store I went to in Cebu did’nt have it. Worse, not one storeboy knows when they will have it. Well, I just saw it PCQuickbuys last week, but I have lost interest already.
archie says:
Sana maglabas ng 4 inch version ng ZE551ML. Kahit 13-15k ito ok na para sa 4gb ram with 64gb internal storage.
Freeje says:
Read online and it says the base model starts at $199.
Mart says:
yah @gsmarena the slower 1.83ghz version starts at $199
Tony says:
ZE551ML na lang. Popular games and apps nowadays demand a higher internal storage, RAM and processor so 2.xx GHz is my choice. For the battery, 3,000mah is not enough.
santofafa says:
Intel + 1080p + 3000mah = lol
Buti may 720p version mas balanced yung specs
keps says:
Ok na sana eh kaso napapangutan lang ako sa 3 capacitive buttons sa front. Mukha tuloy cheap. Sana on screen nalang para zen talaga yung design
Derek Rodriguez says:
I both have Zenfone 5 and 6. Satisfied naman ako sa Asus products now I feel like getting that Zenfone 2 hahaha teka bat parang mas maganda yung model na yan? Pabalik ba ang model number?
all phones 3 weeks old, di pa nakatikim ng sim card, selling at low price interested? 090529*****
Naim says:
Is the ze550ml processor also 64 bit?
Meong says:
kelan kaya available to,..,ok na sakin yung 4GB RAM, beast specs and very affordable price
asoos says:
i hope asus still hasn’t forgotten why the zenfones were super successful- extremely affordable prices for good specs that can rival those of low quality brands ie 4-7K pesos.
specs wise and price wise they are still tough to beat compared to samsung, sony, lg, etc but i’m afraid they are slowly starting to go beyond the pockets of the “regular” folks.
i’m not sure if the zenfone zoom will sell well. it is a terrific phone but most people at that price will start looking at the flagships of the bigger brands.
hope they announce this 1st half of the year the succesors to the low priced zenfone 4,5 at around 4-7K pesos. (the Z5 lite might be the Z4 successor but the price is significantly higher. same with Z2 2gb being the replacement to Z5 and Z2 4gb replacing Z6- they are all higher priced than their predecessors.)
Peejay says:
How come these specs are better than the 6?
Ray says:
grabe din pala no sa 3-4k na upgrade sa price massive upgrades din matutumbasan mo sa specs NFC, 4G LTE, 3000mah battery 13mprear and 5mpfront camera dual led flash gpu and screen size plus modded na sya as lollipop. ok na ok sya replacement sa zenfone 5 kasi pagnaguupdate ka ng software buggy like i experienced when i was updating my z5 to kitkat.
Benedict says:
Very minimal difference with the specs. Sana sa price din.
elj says:
I think I will be more than satisfied with Asus ZenFone 2 ZE550ML (the cheaper version with 2GB RAM).
Anonasboi says:
Excited for the release of this… lalo na nung makita ko Antutu benchmarks ng Nokia N1 (uses the same Z3580 but with only 3GB RAM).
This phone is gonna be a monster.
kentot says:
Maganda ang specs nla vs price… halus puno na yung RAM ng zenfune 5 ko, d parin naghahang-up.. d tulad nga ilang mamahaling samsung …. bili parin ako ntong bang zenfune 2 yung 4gb ram… galing…
japjapSBV2 says:
267 ppi ? yung zf5 294 po ? sure po b kayo s pixel dens. nito ? and ano source po wla ksi ako ma search n nagppatunay n 267ppi lng ang 2gb variant , thanks po
Lyong_Min says:
Actually Zenfone 2 is already here. Major retailers already have stocks for the said Zenfone 2. And they are just waiting on ASUS’s final pricing scheme and the official release date.
meong says:
Thanks Lyong_Min for the info, im so excited to have this phone, i hope ASUS will release this the soonest
Ferdz says:
March is coming. Zen2. Come on. don’t make us wait another month. Take my money!
d'angel says:
Happy with my z5 lite… but will be happier with z2 ZE551ML! Hope covers and accessories available upon release…
fredz says:
Available na po ba ang zenfone 2 at saang retail store, please reply kung sino may alam
zen2lover says:
wala pa ba ma release to?? march na kasi
digitaljamie says:
April na..Balita?
benz says:
Both models are now on Lazada, is the 3k additional for the ZE551 worth it?
ediWow says:
Available na po ang 2Gig RAM sa SM megamall. kaso 10K ang price. NO no No ! stick with z5 muna.
digitaljamie says:
bakit sabi sa Asus/Villman sa MegaMall/Cyberzone, June pa daw ang release nitong Zenfone2?
jepoy manantan says:
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.
Carlo Camacho says:
Why is it that the ZE551ML is showing 2G RAM only on some advertisements, here its 4G?
samuel alabado says:
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
