ASUS has just announced the ZenFone Selfie which, as you can tell, is all about taking selfies. Both its front and rear cameras feature a 13-megapixel resolution and dual-tone flash, though only the main f/2.0 camera has fast and low-light-friendly laser auto-focus (something that even the flagship ZenFone 2 lacks). That said, the front f/2.2 camera makes up for the loss with a wide 88-degree field of view, thus making it easier for group selfies.
The rest of this Android phone looks almost identical to the ZenFone 2. You get the same 5.5-inch 1080p LCD (but with tougher Gorilla Glass 4 instead of its predecessor), the same backside volume rocker and the same curved body for a comfortable grip. The less obvious change here is the processor: ASUS has opted for Qualcomm's mid-range, octa-core Snapdragon 615 over the chips from its close buddy, Intel.
It's a pretty-looking phone, especially in the pastel colors. If you're used to 5.5-inch smartphones and your life revolves around your Selfie Game, you might want to keep an eye out for (eventual) release dates and pricing.
The ZenFone Selfie has an optional Swing attachment that can effectively extend your arm for selfies, and it also makes a handy kickstand. Here's a GIF of it in action:
