Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe preview

Several months back I reviewed the 2GB/1080p/1.8GHz Asus Zenfone 2. I found it to be a very solid package all around.

The Z2 became quite popular, and already there’s a healthy development community surrounding it, especially since the kernel had been released a couple of months back.

Now Asus has given the Zenfone 2 a refresh dubbed Zenfone 2 Deluxe.

Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe specs

  • CPU: 4-core 64-bit 2.3GHz
  • GPU: G6430
  • RAM: 4GB
  • ROM Storage: 32GB
  • Display: 5.5″@1080p

At first glance, you might be tempted to think there’s no change to the specs, and upon second glance you would find yourself 100% correct.

I think it would have been smart to fit a bigger battery or otherwise upgrade specs, but if it’s not broken and still relevant power-wise, I suppose there’s no need to change up the already successful formula. I do like the Zenfone 2, the price has come down a bit and you get a fancy blue crystal back cover to go with the deal.
