asus zenfone 2 philippines

At its May 2015 launch, the ASUS Zenfone 2 ZE500CL (5-inch, 2GB RAM) was priced at Php 7,995. The ZE551ML variants started at Php 9,995 for the 2GB/16GB model, Php 13,995 for the 4GB/32GB model, and Php 14,995 for the 4GB/64GB model. By December 2016, ASUS lowered prices, with the 4GB RAM ZE551ML model dropping to Php 7,995 from Php 12,995.

ASUS Philippines provided a master list of official stores and kiosks nationwide where local Zenfone 2 units with a one-year warranty were sold. This was to distinguish them from parallel imports, like those spotted earlier at an SM Megamall retailer for Php 10,430, which only came with a store service warranty.

In a 2016 camera shootout, the Zenfone 3 (with a 16MP Sony sensor and OIS) generally outperformed the Zenfone 2 (13MP Toshiba sensor). The Zenfone 3 produced more natural colors in daylight, better detail and saturation in macro shots, and significantly better low-light performance thanks to optical image stabilization. The Zenfone 2 tended to produce brighter, punchier, but less natural images.
