The Zenfone 5Z device was mentioned above, and this is the oldest device in the Asus smartphone lineup, but it has two younger brothers.The average Zenfone 5 model was mentioned above in a casual way, it differs from the older hardware with an iron - the processor is slightly simpler, there is less memory, and the camera is worse.

But the Zenfone 5 lite is a very interesting device with a price of up to 25,000 rubles. The smartphone is focused on youth - this is indicated by the price, the presence of bright colors and, of course, advanced photo capabilities. It makes sense to begin the description of the model with them. In front of the device received a dual camera 20 + 8 MP, one of which has a wide angle of capture - 120 degrees. In addition, a flash was added here so that selfies can be done day and night. The rear camera is also double. It is similar to the front, but slightly inferior in pixels - 16 + 8 Mp.

On a note! This model has pleasant parameters in terms of numbers, but in fairness it should be noted that they do not always work well, more precisely, it is better to call their work average. The camera is cool, but sometimes it doesn’t take off accurately, the battery capacity is decent, but the device lasts only a day, and there is no fast charging, the design seems to be pretty, but become boring.

Surprisingly, this is probably not worth it, because in the lineup of the fives he is the youngest, which means he has to give in to the older devices. Nevertheless, for fans of the brand and not the most picky users, the device is more than suitable, and the price tag is also pleasant.
