The ZenFone Selfie

Gorilla Glass 4 means ZenFone Selfie’s display has twice (2X) the drop-damage resistance of its predecessor and 2.5X retained strength, and is 85% less likely to break in daily use.

ZenFone Selfie includes the brilliant ZenUI Beautification mode for live virtual cosmetics. A few taps is all that’s needed to soften facial features, slim bloated cheeks and brighten skin tone to add vibrancy, and all in real time — injecting instant verve into any composition.

Low-light performance is unparalleled, with innovative pixel-merging technology that increases ZenFone Selfie’s light sensitivity by up to four times (4X), and the incredible Backlight (Super HDR) photography mode that uses special pixel-enhancing technology to enable up to 400%-better brightness in dark and shaded areas. The ZenFone Selfie’s rear camera has laser auto-focus technology for the fastest possible clarity. Focusing in low-light conditions is traditionally slow, but ZenFone Selfie’s laser beam measures distances at lightning speed for near-instant focus.

The ZenFone 2 Laser

It’s 13MP rear camera is equipped with an f/2.0 wide aperture lens for high resolution snaps. Combined with the laser auto focus technology, it allows users to take photos as close to the real thing as possible.
