Asus has announced a new smartphone today in the Philippines. It's called ZenFone 5 Lite, and its model number is A502CG. As you may have guessed from its name, it's basically a lower-end variation of the original ZenFone 5 that got unveiled in January and has been on sale since April.
The ZenFone 5 Lite comes with a 5-inch qHD (540x960) IPS touchscreen, an 8 MP rear camera with LED flash, and a 0.3 MP front-facing snapper.
At the helm is an Intel Atom Z2520 chipset with a 1.2 GHz dual-core CPU, aided by 1GB of RAM. There's 42Mbps DC-HSPA support, along with dual-SIM functionality, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 2,500 mAh battery. The ZenFone 5 Lite runs Android 4.4 KitKat with Asus' ZenUI on top.
The phone's dimensions are 148.2 x 72.8 x 10.8 cm, and it weighs 160g. It will be offered in Charcoal Black, Pearl White, and Cherry Red.
Compared to the ZenFone 5, the Lite version has a lower-res screen and front camera, a less capable processor, but (oddly) a bigger battery. As a result it's also slightly thicker and heavier than the original.
The ZenFone 5 Lite will become available in the Philippines next week for PHP 5,595, which is about $124 or €99. Right now it's unclear if it will make its way to other countries in the future, but we don't see why it wouldn't.
what if? we can replace the battery of the zenfone 5 to the battery of zenfone 5 lite? :D if you know what I mean :D
