VERDICT:
If you are thinking of buying a smartphone and have a budget of around NRP.30,000, then you should definitely go with the Asus ZenFone 2 (5.5 inch ZE551ML). This variant comes with a large 5.5-inch FHD display and a solid performance provided by Intel 64 bit Quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM.
It also features a high-end camera with a 13-megapixel rear and 5-megapixel front sensors. Each camera has a f/2.0 aperture, and the front camera sports an 85-degree wide-angle lens. The phone boasts a 3000mAh battery that provides more than a full day of use on a single charge. Fast-charge technology enables recharges to 60% battery level in only 39 minutes.
If your budget is limited to NRP.25,000, you can still buy the modest version of Asus ZenFone 2 (5 inch ZE500CL). But, you are restricted with a smaller lower resolution screen, slower processor, and smaller camera pixels than its sibling.
