The ASUS ZenFone series have seen tremendous success. Just recently ASUS Malaysia has managed to propel itself to the #3 Smart Phone spot in the last quarter. As for the models, there are just so many variants of its mid-range ZenFone 5 that we are starting to lose count.
To add more choice, a newer ZenFone 5 Lite is expected to come to Malaysia and from the sounds of it, it will be an affordable variant of the ZenFone 5 that still maintains a 5″ display. It was recently spotted in our Malaysian SIRIM database with the model number A502CG.
The ZenFone 5 Lite was recently announced in the Philippines with the price tag of just 5,595 Pesos (or about RM417). This slots right between its current ZenFone 4 and ZenFone 5.
In terms of specs, the 5″ display pushes qHD resolution of 960×540 but thankfully it uses IPS panel that offers better viewing angles. Powering the device is a 1.2GHz Intel Atom Z2520 processor with 1GB of RAM, which is similar to the ZenFone 4.
The main camera remains unchanged with an 8MP camera with PixelMaster technology however the front settles for a basic VGA camera. Despite being an affordable device, the battery gets a bump up to 2,500mAh. As comparison, the current ZenFone 5 comes with a smaller 2,110mAh battery. It is also a dual-SIM device supporting 3G connectivity. There’s no mention of its storage yet but we reckon it could be 8GB like its peers but who knows ASUS Malaysia might be generous enough to offer 16GB storage instead.
