Alongside the ZenFone Selfie Pro, ASUS has also announced ZenFone 4 Selfie smartphone today at an event held in TAIPEI, Taiwan. Unveiling the new ZenFone 4 which is the successor to the last year’s ZenFone 3, ASUS has entered the selfie smartphone market with dual selfie cameras on the front starting from the ZenFone 4 Selfie and ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro.
The main highlight of the ZenFone 4 Selfie is its selfie camera, the 20 MP front camera is the main camera on the front for the selfies alongside another 8 MP wide angle camera (120 degrees) to cover more people in your selfie (wefie). The dual front camera is backed up with a Softlight LED flash that delivers the perfect amount of fill light during low light situations. On the other hand, the rear side comes with a 16 MP camera with PDAF and EIS support.
ASUS innovative SelfieMaster app has numerous features for its camera. Since the camera is selfie oriented, it features the real-time beautification technology we saw on the ZenFone Live.
