Kala ko ba delayed ang released ng phone na dahil i.uupgrade nila yung specs before launch.
Kelan ba lalabas ang zenfone 4?
Eto ba bibilhin nyo o aantayin nyo muna ang zenfone 4?

if you’re a selfie person or is using smartphone for taking pics instead of dedicated camera, then this is one consideration.
i hope asus factory-installs it with nougat 7.1.1 since android 8 “oreo” is almost around the corner albeit at beta stage…
