ASUS Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro Review- Magical Selfie Camera Phone

Hello,

It's about social media these days. If something is not posted on Instagram, that means it never happened. Not complaining tho as this storm of Social Media has proved as a blessing for all fashion and lifestyle bloggers like myself. An amazing camera is totally a must for me. But in my tiny little bags, it's impossible to carry a camera! Thankfully ASUS understood the need and introduced ASUS Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro which is all about taking perfect pictures.

We are always out and about, snapping pictures and posting the picture on social media. Most of the times, it gets very difficult to take a picture, export it to edit and then transfer it back to post! ASUS Zenfone 4 runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat operating system and with its 24MP front camera and 16 MP rear camera reduced clicks Instagram worthy selfies and pictures.

I am all about latest gadgets but it's important for me to have a phone that goes with my images as a Fashion Blogger. Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie is a really striking looking smartphone. The smartphone is quite sleek and is designed for the stylish selfie lovers like me. The device flaunts a metal unibody, smooth matte finish on the rear panel and comes with diamond-cut chamfered edges. 
The gorgeous device has a 5.5-inch full HD display which is dominated by dual Selfie camera, soft LED flash and three capacitive buttons. There is also a pill-shaped fingerprint sensor placed in the center bottom of the display which doubles up as a home button and makes it very easy to use. And if you are clumsy like me who always end up scratching your phone screen, the 2.5D curved glass display comes with a coating of Corning Gorilla Glass to protect it from scratches. 

Talking about the display, the Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro features a 5.5-inch full HD display with 1080x1920 pixel resolution. And the coolest feature that does not exist in any of the competitive phone, VIVO V5 Plus, and Oppo F3 Plus is that we can adjust the color temperature, set a blue light filter and customise it according to our viewing requirements through its feature called as 'screen color mode'.

Now coming to the camera is the USP of Asus Zenfone Selfie Pro and my favorite feature of the smartphone.
The smartphone sports a 24MPDuoPixel selfie camera with soft LED flash and a 16MP rear camera with LED flash which is way more advanced as compared to 20 MP front camera in VIVO V5 Plus and 16 MP of Oppo F3 Plus.

The main selfie camera features a Sony IMX362 dual-pixel image sensor with Asus DuoPixel camera technology. The 24MP selfie camera comes with F1.8 aperture lens combined with the Asus SuperPixel technology, which guarantees good low light selfies. 
The other 120-degree wide-angle lens camera helps in taking wide-angle selfies. Apart from photos, the dual selfie camera is also capable of recording 4K selfie videos. 

I took the phone with me for a few events and took a lot of selfies and groupfies which all turned out just amazing,  thanks to the beatification feature that enhanced them. With one click I was easily able to switch from selfie camera to wide angle groupfie camera. The camera has very useful features like Auto Beauty, Skin tone adjustment, Skin softening & Brightening and even cheek thinning, yes! You heard it right! All these features are exclusive to ASUS Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro and are absent from both Vivo V5 plus and Oppo F3 Plus.

The dual selfie camera also enables users to take selfies with bokeh effect, which means that now you can blur the background and capture your perfect selfie. Asus has also installed a selfie master app, which further allows us to beautify and edit our selfies. The front camera also comes with a portrait mode for better selfies. Honestly, I am having a little too much fun with the app, it gives a polished and professionally edited look to the pictures.

 
So, apart from Selfies, food pictures and lay shots are extremely important which means a good rare camera is a must. Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro comes with a 16MP rear camera with soft LED flash which produces crisp and clear images with a great amount of detail. The rare camera also has GIF Animation, beauty and my favorite Portrait Mode (Bokeh Mode) which is absent in both Vivo V5 plus and Oppo F3 Plus!

 But now the question is to take a zillion wonderful pictures, the phone should have sufficient battery, the device is backed by a 3,000 mAh battery with fast charging support. I tested the battery out battery, backup is impressive and it easily lasted a day even with my super heavy usage. And don't even worry about the performance and space, The Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie comes with is powered by a 2.0GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor paired with 4GB of RAM. The device comes with 64GB internal storage which can be expanded up to 128GB by adding microSD card.

Even though ASUS Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro is packed with Amazing Dual cameras and so many cool features, its priced reasonably at 23999 INR and is a treat for selfie loves like me!
Both variants ASUS Zenfone 4 Selfie and ASUS Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro, one with the single camera in front and other with dual camera setup are available on Flipkart, do check them out!
