New Asus Zenfone 2 with 128GB Memory India Price Revealed; To Hit Flipkart e-Store SoonFlipkart screen-shot

Asus is reportedly planning to release a new Zenfone 2 variant with a larger storage capacity in India.

A few days ago, Asus had officially launched four variants of Zenfone models -- ZE551ML (4GB RAM/64GB memory), ZE551ML (4GB RAM/32GB memory), ZE551ML (2GB RAM/16GB memory) and ZE550ML – for ₹22,999, ₹19,999, ₹14,999 and ₹12,999, respectively.

Now, the company's exclusive e-commerce affiliate, Flipkart, has listed a new silver hued Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) model with a massive memory of 128GB (+64GB) for ₹29,999 [HERE].

Besides a high storage capacity, all other internal hardware remains the same as seen inside the ZE551ML (4GB RAM) models.

Flipkart hasn't announced any specific time-line of the new smartphone's release, but we believe Asus is likely to roll-out Zenfone 2 (128GB storage) along with four other models in the second week of this month.

Asus Zenfone 2 series model details:

For the uninitiated, Zenfone 2 come in five variants and all are being currently sold in the Asus home market Taiwan.

Among them, ZE551ML series is the top-end model. It boasts of 5.5-inch full HD display and runs on the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop OS powered by 64-bit class-based 2.3GHz Intel Atom processor Z3580 with PowerVR G6430 graphics engine, 4GB RAM and 16GB/32GB/64GB inbuilt memory and a 3000 mAh battery.

We would like to remind the readers that Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) comes in a 2GB RAM/16GB memory model and 4GB RAM/32GB memory variants; the former model houses pretty much same specification seen in the above variant except the processor type. It houses a 1.8GHz Quad Core Intel Atom Z3560 with PowerVR G6430 GPU. The latter model (4GB/32GB storage) comes with features seen in the first ZE551ML.

On the other hand, cheaper Zenfone 2 (ZE550ML) sports 5.5-inch HD screen and ships with 1.8GHz Intel Atom Quad Core Z3560 (1.8GHz) with PowerVR G6430 GPU, 2GB RAM, 16GB memory and a 3000 mAh battery.

Zenfone 2 (ZE500CL) is low-end model among the lot. It features a smaller 5.0-inch HD display. Under the hood, it comes packed with 2GB RAM, 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z2560 processor and a 2,500 mAh battery which can run the phone for close to 360 hours on standby mode.

[Note: The cheapest of Zenfone 2 models, ZE500CL, is expected to be released later this year]
