Asus shared some glorious sales numbers at CES 2015 mentioning that it shipped over 1.5 million Zenfones per month during the past quarter (Q4 2014). Alongside this mighty achievement, Asus also announced two new smartphones – the Zenfone 2 and the Zenfone Zoom to join the Zenfone series. Zenfone 2 is a nice upgrade over Asus’s previous Zenfone devices which were launched at their CES event last year. Let’s take a closer look at the specifications, price and availability of Zenfone 2.
Specifications of Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML/ZE550ML/ZE500CL)
The name might turn out to be a confusion as there was no Zenfone 1, instead there were Zenfone 4, 5 and 6. For those who are feeling that Zenfone 2 is a downgrade over the last gen devices, it is not. Same can be confirmed from the specifications listed below.

The overall design hasn’t changed much and the Zenfone 2 makes even more use of the similar brushed metal finish which is popularized by the last gen Zenfone devices and loved by the users. The phone’s back is curved and is as thin as 3.99 mm at the edges making it easier to hold and makes the phone look pretty slim. The navigation keys are capacitive and not on-screen if this matters to you.
The power button is located at the top, which might not be an easy access for such a large phone. The pack sports the 13MP Pixelmaster camera and the Dual-LED flash. The volume controls are also pushed to the back in order to keep the sides thinner.
Coming to the features, there are some key additions such as the Kids mode (Parental Controls), Zenmotion (tap to switch to single-handed use), SnapView (Secure apps, photos and files. Also keep separate personal and business stuff),
Price and Availability of Asus Zenfone 2
The Zenfone 2 is scheduled to be made available in March 2015, but it will surely take Asus till end of April or early May before all the target markets start receiving a supply of new Zenfone devices. If you’re from Taiwn, you can already start ordering some of the versions of the phone.
Update: During the official launch in Taiwan, Asus has released pricing of other models as well. Here’s a rough conversion of the same into other currencies. However do note that official prices in different regions can be slightly lower or higher than the ones listed below.

| 2.3Ghz + 32GB + 4GB RAM ( ZE551ML) | 8990 | $285 | ₹17999 | ₱12599 |
| 1.8Ghz + 32GB + 2GB RAM ( ZE551ML) | 6990 | $220 | ₹13999 | ₱9799 |

Its fine…I m waiting for release of zenfone2 phone…
But as different sites r showing different launching date of zenfone2…can u give me perfect release/launching date of the same?
Also help me…which is the 2nd best option other than zenfone2?
All I know so far is that Asus has an event on 13th. If they announce the Zenfone 2 for India on 14th, it should be available for purchase by the end of April for sure. Rest we need to wait and watch. There are no official confirmations from Asus so far.
I think asus in not doing good by delaying release of their zenfone2 series…as some of other brands like Lenovo, H’honour, r also launching their smartphones…with lower prices as compared to asus ze551ml 2gb’s version…
They are not delaying, instead it is perfectly following its schedule. Should be here soon, hopefully 🙂

I guess he is keeping enough margin already. If it costs more, he will simply cancel your order, but it shouldn’t cost that high. So he is safe 🙂

Super hi speed mobile
I like tha Mobil
Biggest drawback Non removable battery, think before you decide. What if Battery goes bad, as in current times Optimum battery Performance is the first thing you need to keep in mind as frequency of usage will be more by most of you.
Nexus 5 along with a few other phones claimed to have a non-removable battery but that turned out to be only semi true. Wont really know till someone tears these things down. Can’t wait to see how this phone comes out though, should be most interesting right?
It is great phone I believe ….
Could you plz inform me on my mail flashed above…
Thanks….
i love this phone, I am waiting to purchase this phone
I will definately buy 4Gb Ram Mobile. I think this would be a first mobile with 4gb ram on 64 bit.
It a amazing phone and 3000 Mah battery that’s so cool I can’t wait to buy the price really good I hope really come in all the world because in my country just get asus tablets not mobile I think if he get I can buy from amazons or ebay
I love it..cant wait.
Plz. inform us om my E-mail when and where avilable in INDIA 4 Gb Ram Verient Mobile.
Thanks in Advance
I am waiting for this phone.
I m waiting for axus zenfone 2 4gb RAM.64gb memory…..when release plz tell me.
General availability is slated for March.
if the phone with 4gb ram is priced at rs 18000-20000 then this is the best phone in the market with high end quality features . and i cant wait for its release . i am definitely going to buy it
if this phone cost 20k with 4gb ram + 16gb/32gb then this is the best phone as well it is 64 bit and i think no other company is giving you this configuration in such a price and the main thing is service. If you buy one plus one it is best but what about service and also the cost of service in india will be high because they import or export the device or parts from other country.
lets wait and watch because anything to say before is wrong.
Asus zenfone 2 32/64GB + 4GB RAM version, I’m sure of it people in the philippines would love to buy it very much if they will sell it in affordable and friendly price that all people can afford it. i hope owner of Asus can see this comments think of changing their minds talking about the price of new zenfone 2..
i love the ASUS products! im gonna buy the 4gb version.to match my laptop and my tablet…..
I want buy a phone. But it is not available in india.
Omg really very nice i givit fone i needed it s fone
please release the mobile quickly…………we are eager to purchase it pls…………
No, New Zenfone2 series will come with 3000mAh lithium-polymer, Fast-charging technology. And it can be charge the 60% battery in only 39 minutes. I think they have resolve the heating and battery backup problem in new series, bcoz it comes with new updated intel 64-bit Intel Atom Quad Core Processor.
So its first 4gb ram phone in the world so i like to this phone best phone of the worldworld in
Asus Zenfone 2 (2.3gh version) is direct competition to xiaomi m4 VS ONE PLUS VS LENOVO X2 PRO
all are price band of 20k to 22k
$199 is the quoted price for 2GB + 16GB version. They said an 8GB version can be there but it will have a 720p display as well. Agree with the rest 🙂
Bhai aur behno
Asus Zenfone 2 with
2 GB of RAM and 1.8 Ghz Quad core processor 8GB = 199USD
In INR= 12439+VAT(10.36%)= 13680 Approx
Price will increase for 16/32/64GB RAM.
4 GB of RAM and 2.3 Ghz Quad core processor 16GB=299USD EXPECTED
In INR= 18690+VAT= 20550 Approx……………..
8gb version is not available internal memory starts from 16gb
2GB Ram and 1.8ghz processor 16gb rom = 199USD
As per price $199, we can expect that in this given price tag, we will get Asus Zenfone 2 with 2 GB of RAM and 1.8 Ghz Quad core processor. Zenfone 2 with 4 GB of RAM and 2.3 Ghz Quad core processor will definitely cost higher.
Any body can tel me wht abt sound quality of zenfone2? All asus mbles alwys havng low sounds & whn it wil launch in india & hw abt price?
I think zenfone 2 with 4gb ram and 32 gb internal memory will cost around 18thousand and expecting asus will improve the sound quality and will give lights on the capacitave buttons …currently using zenfone 5 16gb model cant wait for zenfone2
The zenfone 2 the 4gb version is rumoured to have price of about 35k inr.. that is the price of a nexus 5 when it first came.
That seems like a pretty dull rumor. They won’t charge more than double for just 2GB of extra RAM.
Thus anybody know when this beast is going to available in INDIA and this cell dont have 8 GB variant its start from 16 GB variant..GUYzz anybody kows anything so plz contact me.
It will launch around april of this year
I want purchase for zenfone2 for 4gb ram and 64gb rom.i am waiting for release.
what about spakers?
Will it be sold in the U.S.? the first gen Zenfone wasn’t.
yes it will. if it’s coming to norway then it will definetly come to U.S 😉
Can you tell me the price with the 4gb ram.
Phone would b no doubt too gud bt the basic thing is that the sound quality of asus is not so gud.
Shouldn’t and can’t say before actually using it 😛
Mitest broo are u sure the price will be 19000 because it will have 4 gb ram…
Yes it will cost almost19000-20000
who cares about sound quality anyway? everone uses earphone or whatever anyways 😛
Music enthusiast like myself would care about sound quality. Even if you use earphone or headphones, sound chip used on a smartphone will play a big factor in the quality of music you will be listening. Try plugging your headphone or earphone on hi end samsung phones, iphones and the older zenfones (4,5,6). You will know what I mean.
Its a wow… 4 GB ram for13000 only….
I loOK forward to this as my future phone…
but I think 13000 is for the 2 GB ram one not the 4 GB..
They only provided partial price detail. Not sure if the $199 price is for the 8GB + 2GB RAM combo or what. Need to wait 🙂
there are no 8gb internal storage ,, starting from 16gb
4GB RAM is for 32GB version and above not for 16GB version and 32GB version is priced at almost 19000Rs
U foooooooooool. It’s clearly declared that the price has been tagged for 2 GB version & without any taxes
Woooooooo… Lalipapa is just 130000… Wich date to
release
13000Rs is for 2gb ram and 16gb rom it will release on march
