Just officially announced today, Asus will be releasing six new ZenFone 4 phones. Historically, the ZenFone line has been a bit confusing, and this year is no different, so I’ve included a handy all-in-one table to allow an easy comparison between models.
This year has been the year of the dual-cam and Asus is jumping into the fray head first. All six models include a dual-camera setup, but depending on the model, quality of sensor and camera module used will differ, as will actual function of the models’ camera.
The ZenFone 4 models powered by Snapdragon 660, will allow users to take wide angle shots. Good for scenery and big group shots. This is similar to how the LG G6 works.
The ZenFone 4 models with Snapdragon 835 will give users the ability to take shots with a 2x optical zoom. Whether this is through digital trickery, or whether one module will have a different focal length, as with iPhone 7, is currently unclear.

Zenfone 4 (ZE554KL) and Zenfone 4 Pro (ZS551KL)

The Zenfone 4 and Zenfone 4 Pro feature Sony IMX362 as the main camera. This sensor is 1/2.55″, which is quite large in the world of mobile phones; it gives us 1.4µm pixel size, which should give a step up for low-light shooting.
The Zenfone 4 lineup will carry different LTE band support based on purchase location, and it is confirmed that there will be N/C/S American band support on at least some of the models. Take a look at the table to see whether your area and bands will be covered.
