ASUS ZenFone 2

ASUS ZenFone 2 price in Malaysia starts from RM399, positioning it as a budget option with specs that punch above that price point. Inside is an Intel Atom chipset (either the 2.3 GHz Z3580 or 1.8 GHz Z3560 depending on variant), paired with up to 4GB RAM and storage options stretching from 16GB to 64GB, expandable further via microSD. The 5.5-inch IPS display runs Full HD at 403 ppi, sharp enough for daily browsing and video.

On the camera side, there's a 13MP rear shooter with dual-LED flash and a 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls, both capable of features like HDR and panorama. The 3000 mAh battery is non-removable, and the phone runs Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.

Connectivity covers dual SIM, LTE Cat4, NFC and Wi-Fi 802.11ac, so it's not short on networking options for the price. It comes in five colour choices, including Sheer Gold and Glamor Red, giving buyers some room to pick a finish that suits them.
