The Asus Zenfone 5 Lite was among the phones that was introduced by the brand during their press conference at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018. The phone is an entry-level model in the Zenfone 5 family. I had earlier discussed about the Zenfone 5 and Zenfone 5z, so this time we shall be looking at the Asus Zenfone 5 Lite specifications, price, features and more.
Asus Zenfone 5 Lite Features
The Asus Zenfone 5 Lite has four cameras, two of them with a 120-degree wide-angle field-of-view, one on each side. The main rear camera has 16MP sensor, f/2.2 aperture with phase detection autofocus and 80-degree field-of-view.

The Asus Zenfone 5 Lite also came with a 6 inch 2160 x 1080 display, and an 80.3% screen-to-body ratio, which is still cool for a “lite” version. You can buy the Zenfone 5 Lite with either Qualcomm Snapdragon 430, or the Snapdragon 630, all depending on your choice. The later variant gives you the option to record 4K videos with your main rear camera, and you also get support for 5GHz Wi-Fi band, whereas that of the SD430 limits you to 1080p and 2.4GHz.
