Zenfone 4 y3p4m
The Zenfone 4 will be the new standard in Asus smartphones. Starting with the Zenfone 4, we've noticed, for the first time in the lineup, a physical home button on the front. It has a fingerprint reader, but does not gestures. With a 5,5-inch AMOLED screen, the resolution is Full HD, something considered very little with competitors like the Xperia XZ with a 4K screen. However, Full HD is enough for a 5,5″ display with good pixel density, after all, 4K on a cell phone screen is not very useful, only if it is used for VR. However, Asus decided to make another conservative choice that can weigh more negatively: the screen is not infinite.
The Zenfone 4 has two variations, one with Snapdragon 630 and 4GB of RAM, and another with Snapdragon 660 and 6GB of RAM. In both, there is the same design, 3.300 mAh battery, 8 MP front camera and two rear cameras, with 12 and 8 MP, in addition to 64 GB of internal memory, expandable via microSD.
