Comparison: ASUS Zenfone 2 Deluxe Special Edition vs Zenfone 2 Deluxe

ASUS launched a new member of the Zenfone family with a whopping large storage and a distinct design that is similar to their ROG computers. What is the difference between the new Zenfone 2 Deluxe Special Edition and the already capable Deluxe version? Find out in the quick comparison below.

Since it’s under the Deluxe line of Zenfone, it’s posed higher than their former offerings. It’s definitely obvious that the back cover received a cosmetic makeover but internally, not much has changed.

With the Special Edition, you’d get a slightly better processor running at 2.5GHz versus 2.3GHz of the regular Deluxe and this time, if 128GB internal storage is not enough, ASUS is throwing in an additional 128GB microSD for a total of a whopping 256GB. That’s already matching a notebook’s storage capacity. Also, it has a faster LTE Cat6 radio, but speeds are still carrier dependent.

The newest member of the ever-growing Zenfone family is priced at Php20,995USD 358INR 30,329EUR 341CNY 2,605 (Php3K more expensive than the standard Deluxe) and comes with two special back covers — Carbon Night and Drift Silver. It will be available by the 2nd week of January 2016. You may check our hands-on and initial benchmarks here.
