The Asus Zenfone 5 has multiple flavors, but they
are yet to launch in the US and this won’t change quickly. The Asus Zenfone 5
Lite ZC600KL is now up on Amazon for pre-order under the name Zenfone 5Q. The
price is set at US$ 300 and stock is expected to be available on July 31 – two
months from now.
At least it’s the Snapdragon 630 version, which
features 4K at 30 fps video recording and better charging (not fast by any
measure, it does 10W). So, it’s not perfect, but there’s plenty to like about
the phone.
For one, it doesn’t have a notch unlike the other
two models. It features a rectangular 6” display with 1,080 x 2,160 px
resolution. You can check out our hands-on for more details and do pay special
attention to the camera department.
t boasts a secondary 120° wide-angle camera on both
the front and back. The main camera on the back is a 16 MP shooter with 80°
f/2.2 lens, the one on the front is 20 MP 85.5°. Both front and back cameras
have LED flashes.
If that sounds like something you like, you can find
the phone on Amazon US. But again, if you pre-order now, you’d still be in for
quite a wait.
