Asus has dropped another Zenfone 2 variant in the mix today, for 18,999 INR. This is same as the 32 GB high end Zenfone 2 ZE551ML with 4 GB RAM and 32 GB internal storage, but the processor used is 1.8 GHz Intel Atom Z3560 instead of 2.3 GHz Intel Atom Z3580.
Confused? Well, it is indeed a little confusing. Asus presented 5 different Zenfone 2 variants at India launch, spread between 12,999 INR and 22,999 INR. A 128 GB variant was later quietly listed at 29,999 INR with a coming soon tag and now, the latest Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML- 6J226WW is available for 18,999 INR.

We do feel that this new variant has its place in Zenfone lineup. It will satiate spec junkies with trendy 4 GB RAM and lesser clock frequency will have an overall positive impact on battery backup without much compromise in performance.
The new Zenfone model is still listed with a coming soon tag and will be soon available for purchase.
