Reviews for the Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro ZD552KL
Fire-red selfie machine. The ASUS ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro’s salient feature is its high-resolution dual front-facing cameras. This is coupled with good battery life, and it is all housed in a metal case. Can the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro do enough to compete with the strong selection of mid-range smartphones?

Archive.org versionThe Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro is made for selfie lovers. The front camera is impressive but when you compare it with the shots taken with the Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie Dual, the Selfie Dual does a better job (bokeh looks much better).

Archive.org versionAsus ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro is a well made smartphone and at Rs 23,999, the price may seem a slight bit more than competition. Dual-front facing cameras with wide-angle option and a softlight LED bulb means that it is a boon for the selfie enthusiasts. However, I must add the caveat that the exposure can be off at times with the front camera. If Asus could resolve this shortcoming with a relevant software patch, then the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro could easily achieve some of the objectives it has set out to. Overexposure of surroundings in daylight with the front camera shots is annoying.

Archive.org versionThe Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro is certainly not a bad phone. Its hardware is just right for an upper-midrange device, its user interface is smooth and its customizations are actually fun to play around with. Its thin profile and metal build make it look and feel like a premium handset, yet it still holds a rather large battery and definitely lasts a while. Its display is a pleasure to look at and can be set to taste, whether you love super-punchy colors or soft and subdued ones.

Archive.org versionAmong the recently-released ASUS Zenfone 4 smartphones, you can pretty much surmise what the Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro has to boast about. It’s got dual front cameras on board, which ASUS claims to offer great quality for selfies and we-fies but is it all there is to this device?

Archive.org versionThe Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro makes a big promise with its 24MP "duopixel" feature, but it's actually not very useful. That makes it an unfavourable choice for selfie lovers, and there are better options out there. Vloggers will probably like the 4K selfie videos feature, but there's not much more worth recommending this phone for.

Archive.org versionThe highlight of Asus Zenfone Selfie 4 Pro is its dual selfie camera. There’s no denying that the front shooter is impressive, but what makes the phone a less viable option is the price-tag of Rs 23,999 which is expensive. The phone makes sense only for people who’d buy it solely for the selfie camera.

Archive.org versionThe Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro is a pretty feature-rich offering at this price level, and we’d say it's a better bet than Vivo’s V7+. If you’re into vlogging on your smartphone, then you’ll appreciate the 4K recording support with the front camera. We don’t get why Asus had to resort to gimmicky features like the 24-megapixel DuoPixel mode, when the Sony sensor is capable of good things by itself. ZenUI 4 certainly looks leaner, but not much has really changed beneath the surface. Our main concerns here would be the weak sunlight legibility of the display and the fact that the cameras (all three of them) really struggle to give satisfactory results in low light.

Archive.org versionTo conclude, the Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro does sport a sleek look and it is certainly one of the slimmest smartphone available in the market. However, when it comes it clicking selfies, the phone does a good job when the lighting condition is good, but there is a loss quality when you switch to the wide-angle lens. The rear camera does a decent job as well. Coming to the performance, there isn’t much to complain, but the battery backup is not up to the mark. Considering the price tag and specs and performance it offers, the Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro looks a tad overpriced smartphone, especially when you get the same specs around Rs 15,000 in India.

Archive.org versionOverall the Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro is brilliant device offering top-of-the-line features, a great selfie camera setup, a crisp display, and a decent battery reservoir. Although the phone offers such great features, it still feels a tad expensive at Rs 23,990. But if you are someone who loves to click selfies and can make good use of that feature, then you should definitely put your money on this one.

Archive.org versionThe Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie comes with a price tag of Rs 23,999. Designed specifically for selfie lovers, the USP of the smartphone is its dual selfie camera. Other than this all the other specifications are similar to any budget smartphone available in the market. The price of the phone is a huge deterrent even though the performance and looks of the phone do stand out. There are alternatives like the Vivo V7+ which sells for Rs 21,999 if you're looking for a selfie smartphone. The Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie delivers what it promises but perhaps isn't worth the price it commands. In that sense, Asus might have just scored a self(ie) goal!

Archive.org versionTo conclude, the Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro offers a sleek design and it surely one of the lightest and slimmest devices available in the market right now. The dual front cameras do take some selfies in our initial testing. However, looking at the sheer specs sheet, it looks a bit overpriced in nature. As for the competition is concerned, it faces a stiff competition with the likes of Gionee A1, Oppo F3s, Motorola Moto G5S Plus and Honor 8 Lite, as the first two devices take good selfies, while the other two scores good marks in the overall performance.

Archive.org versionThe ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro is almost a perfect selfie smartphone, if it wasn't for the somewhat subpar 5MP camera sensor performance, it could have easily been the go-for selfie smartphone in the Malaysia market (#soclose). If you don't really mind about that, then go for it. The 24MP DuoPixel technology is great, same goes for the rear camera, it is a compact device, has good battery performance (but not for intense gaming) and the Selfie Master app should prove to be a favourite for selfie lovers and vloggers too.

Archive.org versionASUS is definitely back in the selfie game with the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro. It came a bit late, though, considering that its competitors, namely OPPO and Vivo, have already established a strong presence in the market with their selfie-centric devices. Still, it’s a worthy offering given its slim and premium body, AMOLED display, fun yet capable cameras, and improved ZenUI 4.0.

Archive.org versionWith how the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro’s front cameras perform, I can’t help but feel that this is not the best at its price. However, the overhauls and upgrades make it worth looking for those who are willing to shell out more than the usual. With a commanding PhP 18,995, the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro’s performance and features fall a bit short but is still reliable for a day-to-day use.

Archive.org versionAll in all, the decision made by the team behind ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro to take additional time to craft this selfie-oriented phone seems to be quite fruitful although there are still a lot of rooms for improvement especially in camera quality which can be delivered through software updates from time to time.

Archive.org versionASUS ZenUI is still on board, and while we’d still prefer a lighter UI overall this year’s iteration is much better compared to the bloat-ware ridden mess last year. There’s only a few additional apps that are installed when we got the device, which makes for a more pleasant experience.

Model: The Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro is a phone that wants to appeal to the social-networking, selfie-loving crowd. The ZenFone Selfie Pro opts for a 12 MP selfie shooter. In addition to that, it features a secondary, wide-angle selfie camera on the front, and a Portrait Mode for both the front- and rear-facing snappers. Asus is clear on the selling point of this device, having given it the name Selfie Pro, and reinforcing this by printing “We Love Photo” on the box. The main camera has a 16 MP sensor that takes relatively good photographs. As for the selfie camera, the software can stitch together the images taken with dual 12 MP sensors on the front to create effectively a 24 MP image. This results in beautiful-looking photographs that are detailed and well lit. The case is 6.9 mm thick, with ASUS managing to keep the rear camera protrusion to a minimum on such a thin case. The device feels good in the hand though thanks to its rounded corners. The device is wrapped in matte-finished metal and has a thin profile, which feels quite pleasant in the hand. There are three colors available: black, red, and a combination of gold and white. The case feels high quality and stable.
For display, it has a 5.5-inch AMOLED Full HD panel with a 1080 x 1920 resolution. The imagery is sharp and, thanks to a very elaborate screen color customization menu, a user can get either very punchy colors or a very subdued and easy-on-the-eyes look. AMOLED displays are now common in mid-range smartphones. These offer rich colors and absolute blacks, but typically at a cost of a lower maximum brightness. Lower maximum brightness caused user experience in viewing display out in the sunlight to be not always a great experience. The ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC, while graphics are handled by the Qualcomm Adreno 506. This is a popular SoC choice for current mid-range smartphones. The ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro has 4 GB RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, the combination of which makes it comparable to similarly priced smartphones. The device supports microSD card expansion or dual-SIM card slots. The device ships with Android Nougat 7.1.1 and has security patches dated December 2017. Asus uses its ZenUI on the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro which the company made minor visual changes from stock Android and pre-installed some additional apps. There is a theme gallery, which allows for further UI modifications. Furthermore, ASUS has installed a Mobile Manager app, in which cached data and notifications can be blocked for each app and one which supports a security scan feature too.

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.
