Snapdragon 845 sits at the core of the Zenfone 5z, paired with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage. That's flagship-tier silicon for 2018, backed by an Adreno 630 GPU, so multitasking and heavier apps run without much strain. The 6.2-inch IPS LCD panel runs at 1080 x 2246 on an 18.5:9 ratio, giving a tall screen that suits video and browsing.

On the back, a 12MP main sensor pairs with an 8MP secondary lens, both using phase detection autofocus, with a dual-LED flash for low light. It can also shoot 4K video at 60fps. Asus Zenfone 5z price in Malaysia starts from RM1699, and the 3300mAh battery is on the modest side for a phone this size, so users who game or stream a lot may want a charger within reach.
