The Asus ZenFone is a device for people who are on a budget. It is affordable but Asus didn't skimp on its great features. The world took an immediate liking for the ZenFone when it was released, and it is surely no surprise that the company decided to come up with a new generation of phone models. 

The wait shouldn't be long as Asus continues to roll out one update after another for the Asus ZenFone 2. Earlier in the month, they announced that there will be four versions in the new smartphone line.

The first one is the 64 GB version. According to The Fuse Joplin, this version became available in Taiwan on March 23. The 64 GB model comes with a 4 GB RAM. If this is too much, there is also a model with 32 GB storage that comes with 4 GB RAM. Of course, the latter is a bit cheaper. 

Moving up the specs, the ZE551ML version is considered the high-end one. It comes with a 5.5-inch screen, 64-bit architecture and 2.3 GHz clock speed. This version has various internal memory options, from 16 GB, 32 GB to 64 GB. Battery is 3000 mAh. Moreover, the ZE551ML has a slightly lower version. It only has 2 GB RAM and runs with a quad-core Intel Atom Z3560 with 1.8 GHz clock speed. The GPU used is PowerVR G6430. 

For those who are looking for a cheaper model, there's the ZE500CL. It comes with 2 GB RAM, 1.6 GHz clock speed and an Intel Atom Z2560 processor. The screen display size is only 5 inches. Battery is 2500 mAh. 

The Asus ZenFone 2 is set to arrive in Hong Kong, China, Singapore and France by the end of March. By June, Brazil will get its hands on the phone, too.
