Asus silently introduced Zenfone Live
(ZB501KL), targeted at the selfie fans. The device may have average specs but
the highlight is the BeautyLive app that lets you stream live through the 13 MP
main camera or the 5 MP front one while applying a beautification filter on
your face.
The main camera has 1.4µm pixel size, f/2.0 aperture
and 82-degree field of view. The front one comes with a soft light LED selfie
flash. The Live part of the name Zenfone Live (ZB501KL) actually reminds you
that you can broadcast to third-party social networks with zero effort through
the BeautyLive app. The phone also has dual MEMS microphones to eliminated
background noise and enhance voice pickup.
Zenfone Live has an app called Beautificiation that
let’s you edit a lot of facial features - skin color, size of eyes, even remove
skin blemishes. The selfies sure will look flawless for all the likes on
Instagram, Facebook, Weibo and Twitter.
The
Zenfone Live has 5” IPS display with HD resolution and is powered by a
Snapdragon SoC though the manufacturer does not reveal the exact chipset. RAM
is just 2GB and there are two options for internal storage - either 16 or 32GB.
When you register the device with your Google account, you get 100 GB on Google
Drive space.
The OS is Android Marshmallow 6.0 skinned with ZenUI
3.0. Battery is 2,650 mAh and is non-removable. There’s no info on availability
